learn to crochet: what you need

1. You need yarns

owh ya, you don't need so many yarns to begin crocheting (those in the photo are my stock..hehe) Two is enough. You can choose any brands that you want: Nona, Minlon, Ondori, Wina) Personally, I like Nona and Minlon brand because they're widely available in the market:-)


2. You need a crochet hook (jarum kait).

These are my first 4 crochet hooks bought by my mom. The most right is used in most of my crochet project because it is bigger in size compared to the others. Crocheting in long hours can be tiring and painful. So I just wrap the stick with rubber band to ease the pain..so old school..hehe



my lovely crochet hook set:-)


Crochet hooks can be found in many store near you. They come in many sizes. The hook size will determine the size of your crochet project. If you don't have the right crochet hook as in the pattern you are referring, you can check the gauge and add more rows or stitches to get the same size.


That's all!!


ok now that you have both yarn and hook, you can begin crocheting now!!!
Please refer to a video I've posted in my previous post to get started...happy crocheting everyone!

    gauge ni ratio bilangan stitch/row kepada inch. Penting untuk dapatkan saiz yang betul, especially untuk wearable product..

    Kadang2 kita pakai yarn dan hook yang berbeza dari pattern yg kita refer, jadi penting untuk kita cek gauge supaya hasil kait nanti smaa besar macam paten tu:-)

    a ah insyaAllah nak sambung belajar kat usm kubang kerian.

    adoii my mom baru pesan jgn bwk benang dan jarum masa study.. nanti kite tgk dulu mcm mane ye...:-)
