Additional required materials

• Small scissors – You can look for “embroidery scissors” or “snips”, but any relatively small pair of scissors is fine.
• Pen or pencil
• Highlighter
• Bag for your crochet supplies – a basic tote bag is fine, you don't need anything specialized.

Optional materials

• More yarn – Additional yarn will be provided each week as needed in class. For the optional sampler scarf project, a limited selection of free yarn will be provided, but if you would like a different yarn to make your scarf with, you may purchase that independently. Please wait until after the first class to acquire additional yarn.
• Crochet hook(s) appropriate for your additional yarn. Other sizes of crochet hooks will be provided for in-class use as needed, but if you want your own, you will need to purchase it.
