What tools and gear does Natasha Nicholes recommend for effective crocheting?

Based on what I’ve shared so far, I haven’t done a full “tools I love” post for crocheting yet—just that I’m learning new stuff and having fun with it. So I don’t have a personal, detailed, official list published right now.

Generally, for effective crocheting I reach for:

1. Smooth worsted-weight yarn (easy for beginners)
2. Ergonomic hooks in a few common sizes (G–H–I)
3. Small scissors or snips
4. Yarn/tapestry needle
5. Stitch markers

Would you like help putting together a beginner-friendly crochet kit or are you looking for more advanced gear?
