Materials: Crochet Hook, yarn, yarn needle, and scissors
Yarn: My suggestion for a beginner is get the regular red heart acrylic yarn from Walmart or the "I love this yarn" acrylic brand from Hobby Lobby.
Hook: My suggestion is to use a G, H, or I size for this type of yarn.
Needles: Located at Walmart or Hobby Lobby in the section where the yarn, knitting needles, and crochet hooks are, larger needles are best for the type of yarn I have suggested.
