If you are a beginner to crochet and are wondering what you need to start crocheting with then look no further! This complete list of the best crochet kits for beginners will help you get headed in the right direction of your crocheting journey.

What Is A Crochet Kit?

A beginner crochet kit is a collection of crochet items together in a box or bag that will have everything you need to complete a project with crochet.

Kits will usually include yarn and a pattern to work with. This type of set is convenient and makes it possible for a beginner to start crocheting right away.

Sometimes kits will include other basic crochet supplies. These items are usually ones that you’ll need to get started on your journey of how to start crocheting.

Learn more about what to look for in crochet kits below.

  • Yarn
  • Crochet Hook(s)
  • Yarn Needle (aka a Darning Needle or Tapestry Needle)
  • Stitch Markers
  • Scissors
  • Digital Pattern or Printed Pattern

These supplies above may or may not be included in some beginner crochet kits. Be sure to read all the information about the kit you are going to be purchasing, so you know exactly what you’ll have on hand to start crocheting. The list above will help you, so you’ll know exactly what to search for in a crochet kit.

Make a DIY Crochet Kit

After looking through the list above and learning what goes into a crochet set you could collect items for a kit yourself. You’ll want to shop for a crochet hook or crochet hook set, yarn (learn about the different types of yarn) and a pattern. There are loads of free patterns here on Easy Crochet that are perfect for beginner crocheters.

Take a look at some tools and supplies you’ll want to have to make your crochet kit below.

  1. Crochet Hook: When shopping for crochet hooks it is best to start with one or two different brands to see which you prefer. There are a good deal of crochet hook sizes so if you already have a pattern in mind be sure to purchase the hook it calls for.
  2. Yarn: Yarn is available in many fibers (wool, cotton) and weights (medium, bulky). Most craft stores and shops online have yarns that are easy to find and are great for beginners such as yarns from the Lion Brand Yarn Company.
  3. Crochet Pattern: Most beginners will more than likely start with a smaller project such as a dishcloth, baby blanket or even a stitch tutorial for a small swatch. Once you find the pattern you would like to crochet read through it to find out what other materials or supplies you’ll need.

Below, I’ll explain a bit about my favorite crochet kit and starter kits you may want to get as a beginner. If you can think of any more easy beginner kits I may have missed, please let me know in the comments.

More Resources & Tutorials for Beginners

While crochet kits are wonderful for beginners I recommend reading about the basics of crochet in my free guide “Crochet for Beginners” as well as taking a look at the “Crochet Abbreviations for Beginners” guide too. After you look at those resources you’ll have a better understanding of crochet, and you’ll be ready to start crocheting beginner patterns.

1. Beginner-Friendly Crochet Patterns

  • How to Crochet a Scarf
  • Beginner Crochet Washcloth Pattern
  • All Beginner Level Crochet Patterns on Easy Crochet

2. Classes & Groups

Local libraries and yarn shops hold in person and virtual classes for new crocheters. These types of groups are great for beginners to learn from experienced crocheters and stitchers.

3. Crochet Pattern Books and Crochet Stitch Books

Crochet books are a great way to learn new how to crochet. There are many books for beginners with step-by-step photos as well as patterns that are all a beginner skill level. Some crochet books are even full of stitches to learn, so you can make a small swatch to practice with when you are first learning.

4. Crochet Videos

Videos are a great way to learn how to crochet for beginners since it is a visual tool. When you can see exactly how a crochet pattern or stitch is worked up in real time it can be very helpful. You can find crochet videos on Easy Crochet as well as many more on YouTube for patterns and stitches.
