Preparation for work
For crochet, you can use any threads (woolen, half-walled, hlobachable and synthetic). Depending on the yarn, it is possible to link dense products with embossed patterns, as well as thin, lace, openwork canvas.
To knit children's things or household items for children (booties, suites, hats, plaids, pads, toys) it is better to use threads from natural materials, as woolen products can cause skin irritation. Synthetic threads can cause allergies, so the best option is a cotton or linen yarn.
Hooks are metal, plastic and wooden. The size of the hook depends on the thickness of the yarn, the larger hooks are used for thick woolen threads (from 2.25 mm to 19 mm), and for lace napkins with openwork patterns, use thin metal hooks (No. 24 or 0.4 mm; the fattest one - 00 or 2.7 mm).
The size of thick hooks is numbered so: the thicker the hook, the greater the number, but in thin hooks, on the contrary: the thinner the hook, the greater the figure.
