20 MUST HAVE CROCHET TOOLS
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned crocheter, having the right tools can make all the difference when working on your projects.
Working with quality supplies will make you more efficient and ensure that your projects are a success from start to finish.
Let’s take a look at the most useful crochet tools and accessories now!
THE ESSENTIALS
1. Amour Crochet Hooks. I love these hooks! The shape and soft rubber handle of these hooks prevents hand fatigue. This means you can crochet for longer periods of time. Another big plus is that the shaft is made from aluminium. This results in a much smoother and enjoyable experience (no snagging and the yarn will just glide off your hook). Hands down one of the best crochet hook brands out there!
2. Stitch Markers. Small – but essential – these will help you keep track of your stitches. They lock into place, so won’t fall off. And they come with a plastic box for handy storage.
3. Scissors. Sharp, lightweight and easy to use. These scissors are great for cutting through all your yarn -no matter the material or thickness.
5. Measuring Tape. This flexible measuring tape is essential for checking the dimensions of your work and ensuring it turns out perfectly sized.
6. Yarn and hook gauge tool. Has the sizing info on your hook worn off? Going through your yarn stash and trying to work out what weight of yarn all your leftover balls are? This handy tool will allow you to quickly and easily determine the size of your hook and thickness of yarn.
7. Pins. Provided in a useful storage box, pins can come in very handy when working on certain projects (especially when attaching amigurumi parts).
MORE USEFUL TOOLS
8. Yarn Bowl. With its super cute design, this bowl allows you to smoothly pull out the yarn as you’re working on your project. It will also prevent your ball of yarn from rolling all over the place! It would also make a lovey gift for a fellow crocheter / knitter!
9. Yarn Ball Winder. Organize your yarn with this hand-operated yarn ball winder! This tool will quickly and easily turn your hanks and skeins into cakes / balls. Just clamp it onto the edge of your table and wind away!
10. Pom Pom Maker. Super easy to use and makes the most beautiful, fluffy pom poms!
11. Around neck reading light. Not just for reading! This accessory is a must-have for all your crafting projects. With its comfortable, ergonomic and lightweight design, this neck light will easily allow you to complete intricate stitch work without straining your eyes.
STORAGE
12. Spinning Caddy Organizer. With its smooth spinning function, this caddy can hold a selection of your most used items. Keep it beside you on your desk and easily access your supplies as you work on your projects.
13. Craft storage box. This transparent box, with a lid and handle, allows you to easily store and find your smaller craft items that can easily be lost (such as buttons, needles, stitch markers, hooks etc).
BLOCKING TOOLS
14. Granny Square Blocking Board. Perfect for blocking your granny squares and small projects! This board will give your work a more professional finish.
15. Blocking Mats. These thick blocks, with clearly marked grid lines, allow you to easily position your work for effective blocking. You can read my guide to blocking here
YARN ORGANIZATION
16. Rolling Storage Cart. This storage cart has 15 removable drawers of various sizes. It’s great for organizing all your craft supplies! The smooth-rolling castors allow you to easily move it from room to room.
17. Yarn Storage Tote. This is the ultimate crochet / knitting bag! This tote is very roomy, with an assortment of clever pockets and storage areas – ideal for taking your projects on the go. It’s very comfortable to carry. Another great gift for the crafter in your life due to both its style and practicality.
