The crochet kit for beginners:
Wool:
For beginners a thick, smooth wool is suitable for crocheting, so that the stitches can be seen easily.
Wool needle:
This is needed for sewing and stitching the threads together. The wool needle is characterized by a blunt point and a large eye.
Scissors:
At the latest when the crochet project is finished, the thread wants to be cut off. The small handmade scissors Goldmarie are very helpful for this.
Stitch marker:
Some crochet projects require certain stitches to be marked. For this purpose there are stitch markers, as an alternative you can also use e.g. a differently coloured thread, a paper clip or a hairpin.

Single crochet (sc)
Tip: Especially beginners should not forget to always count the number of stitches.
Hint: In this crochet project the last stitch of each row is always a little bit bent further down. Therefore, the insert point is a little bit narrower and more difficult to find. When crocheting, pay special attention to the last stitch and crochet the single stitch as usual, even if it´s a bit more difficult.
