5 Must-Have Tools for Every Knitter or Crocheter

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned maker, having the right tools makes the process more enjoyable and smooth. Here are five essentials I always keep nearby:

1. Sharp scissors – for clean and precise cuts.
2. Stitch markers – to keep track of repeats, joins, or rows.
3. Tapestry needle – for weaving in ends easily.
4. Measuring tape – because size does matter!
5. Notebook or app – to track your progress, yarn details, or pattern notes.

Bonus tip: Keep everything in a small pouch or box so it’s always ready to go!
