Required Supplies
Do you have all your supplies? Use this checklist to be sure you're not missing anything you'll need!
-
Crochet hook Aluminium, Bamboo, Stainless Steel, etc crochet hook. I will be using in the class an Aluminium one of about 3 mm diameter :)
-
Wool Any, just make sure that for a crochet of around 3 mm thick, you will need yarn not thicker than double knit
-
Felt sheets Any colour, any size... remember we will only use a small scrap piece for the toys!
-
Yarn needle This is a needle that is not sharp like a thread needle. Just with a round tip to go through the soft yarn.
-
Floss/sewing thread You can still use yarn but sometimes it gives a lot of play to use some other thicknesses while stitching! :D
-
Stitch markers You can use the spiral type, the plastic safety pin and if you don't have any of those, use a stainless steel safety pin, just carefully! before having any of the previous ones, I used a piece of wool of about 2 in long and left it inside the last stitch
