Page "Crochet" Paragraph 20

Basic materials required for crochet are a hook and some type of material that will be crocheted, most commonly yarn or thread.

Additional tools are convenient for keeping stitches counted, measuring crocheted fabric, or making related accessories.

Examples include cardboard cutouts, which can be used to make tassels, fringe, and many other items ; a pom-pom circle, used to make pom-poms ; a tape measure and a gauge measure, both used for measuring crocheted work and counting stitches ; a row counter ; and occasionally plastic rings, which are used for special projects.
