This post is not just for beginners but we break it down to give all the information that a beginner would need to purchase their first crochet hooks. As with any new craft there is a host of materials that you need to get to work. Luckily for us, crochet only requires a hook, yarn and a pattern. With so many choices for each of these on the market I wanted to make sure that beginners new what they could choose from and understand the differences. In this post I will walk through crochet hook materials.
