Hello Ynnk, tatacherie, lumiade and all the guru crotcheters.

I saw this post last night and was so very impressed that I read up from the beginning up to page 35. I want to learn crotcheting. I've very little idea compare to what u gurus have displayed.

I want to order my materials so I can start asap. Which of the crotchet pins should I go for?

Please Ynnks put me through on what to order from the pixs below.

Thanks a whole lot.

Welcome
On the yarn, get cheaper yarn for practise, when youare more confident you can use your prettier yarn. Yeye is widely available and affordable in nigeria.

On the 2nd pic.

You may not need a full set, except if you are getting a wicked deal on it.

For the hooks i will say stick to between 1.5mm and 5mm in size.. Till you get a hang of crochetting and have access to more specialist yarn.
Just for your reference see pics below of 0.5 and 0.75mm hooks to see how tiny it is!

The stitch markers on the top right a bit fragile in my experience( maybe i got a bad set) but you can substitute with a pack of stainless steel safety pins does the same job.

The thing beside the tape rule is a yarn snipper. See attached pics A small scissors will do the same job.

The needle like things by the right of the blue handled hooks are yarn needles. These are useful in finishing your work ans hinding the loose strands that are left after you finish your piece. You may be able to get these seperately. Its basically a large blunt needle with a large eye.

Not sure what the other items are, others will chip in.

Happy Hooking!

Sorry pics not attaching will try again later.

Okay. I think you should count your stitches. You might have missed some.

Also, hope you included the turning chain at the end of each round

Best of luck
