Crochet Supplies

Like every crochet project, you will need the basics:

  • A crochet pattern to follow, like one of the ideas below.
  • Crochet hooks - the pattern will tell you what hook or hook sizes you need. However, don't be afraid to change the hook size if necessary to meet the pattern gauge.
  • Yarn - see the section below.
  • Other notions - yarn needles, scissors, or any other supplies stated in the pattern.

Yarn To Use For Crochet Gifts

When thinking about making crochet gifts, think about the yarn you will be using because some yarns are better than others for certain projects.

For example, face scrubbies and washcloths are best made in 100% cotton because it is soft on the skin.

Kitchen scrubbies can also be made with 100% cotton but will be even better with yarn like Sugar 'n Cream scrub off because it has been designed for use in the kitchen but would be too rough to use on your face.

Always check the pattern for the recommended yarn and weight, so you can find a suitable substitute if needed. 

Washability

When making a crochet gift item, think about how easy it will be to care for. A machine-washable yarn would be an ideal option for making crocheted gifts.

You might also like to include a little tag with the care instructions on it.

Allergies

Also, when making crocheted gifts take into consideration that some people have allergies to animal fibers. If in doubt, it would be best to use a man-made fiber.
