Before you start any work, make sure you have the materials you need to complete your project. It's very simple, but it's worth thinking about:

  • knitting needles or a knitting hook
  • balls of wool
  • a pair of scissors.

For added convenience, you can use a stitch counter, knitting needle, knitting calculator and marker rings.

What to do with wool and your needles? All sorts of things like headbands, a scarf and a hat for a soft winter, slippers to keep your little feet warm, computer pouches, baby booties, storage baskets... You will be spoilt for choice!

Even if it is within everyone's reach, learning to knit orcrochetrequires knowing some basics. The secret for a successful creation: practice!
