Ultimate Crochet List ~ 75+ Gadgets, Gizmos, & Goodies

Share this

Yes, I’ve finally decided to do a ‘Round Up’ type post. It’s been on my ‘to do’ list for a few months now and what better way to start crochet round ups than a crochet list of tools? This list started small…. and then grew, and grew… and grew some more! I’m not going to lie, I had help. Pam, designer and owner of Sincerely Pam, had a tendency to ‘help’ me find items. And I stress ‘help’ because she had a tendency to find one more thing after I reached a good finishing number… you know, 50, 55, 60… nope, she’d always message me with that 61st item and then our search continued to round it out! I’m completely ignoring her messages now just so I can finish this post! 🙂 I’m also giving up on a rounded out number… we’re sticking with 75+!

About ‘the Crochet List of Tools’

I appreciate handmade. If you’re a crocheter, I would hope you do as well. To me, handmade has more meaning. Someone took time to perfect a craft they love. So I tried to find as much handmade crochet related gadgets, gizmos and goodies as possible. There are some “knit” items in here, but crocheters could definitely use them! Worried the list is too long? Don’t worry! Scroll all the way down to the bottom of this post and download the “Ultimate Crochet Checklist”! Also, check out the Facebook links at the end.

The Warning

Yes, this post comes with a warning… it has to. There are many things on this list that I didn’t even realize were out there. There is an insane amount of completely amazing handmade crochet related products out there! I’ve added about 20 things to my wishlist… and my husband is not so happy. When you see the sheep and the wristlet… you’ll know what I mean! Just consider yourself warned before you proceed.

  1. These add on items and accessories are great! I love your storage unit ideas. A lot of my skeins of yarn are too large to use that storage unit that you have a picture of, but I do have some that is perfect to store like that. I have large tote bags and come to think of it, I do have some empty totes. Thank you for posting everything. <3 Stay safe and stay home, if you can.
