Materials Needed

All you need to get started are a crochet hook, yarn in your choice of colour, and a pair of scissors. You can use any type of yarn, but cotton yarn is recommended for its durability and absorbency. I use Paintbox Cotton Aran. It is a durable 100% yarn that comes in a huge range of colours.
