Knitting is a popular and rewarding craft that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you're just starting out, it's essential to have the right tools to make your knitting experience more enjoyable and productive.

This list should get you started and set you up for success as you learn this enjoyable craft.

Knitting Needles:  They come in various materials (such as aluminum, bamboo, or plastic), sizes, and types (straight, circular, or double-pointed). For beginners, I recommend using a pair of single-pointed needles in US size 8 (5mm) or 9 (5.5mm). These sizes work well with medium-weight yarn and are comfortable for most people to hold.
Yarn: Yarn is the most important supply for knitting. Choose a medium-weight yarn (worsted weight or Aran) in a light color so you can easily see your stitches. Acrylic or wool yarns are popular choices for beginners because they're affordable and easy to handle.
Stitch Markers: These small markers help you keep track of your stitches, row counts, or pattern repeats. They come in various shapes and sizes, and you can also use small loops of contrasting yarn as an alternative.
Tapestry Needle: A tapestry needle (also called a yarn needle) is used to weave in the loose ends of your knitting project. Look for one with a large eye and a blunt tip to prevent splitting your yarn.
Scissors: A small, sharp pair of scissors is essential for cutting your yarn. Make sure they are sharp enough to cut your yarn cleanly, without fraying the ends..
Measuring Tape: A soft, flexible measuring tape is useful for measuring the length and width of your knitting projects and ensuring they are the correct size..
Knitting Gauge: A small, flat ruler with marked holes to measure the size of your knitting needles. It can also help you determine your stitch and row gauge.
Row Counter: This optional tool helps you keep track of the number of rows you've completed. Some knitting sets come with built-in row counters, or you can buy a separate one.
Stitch Holders: These are similar to large safety pins and are used to hold stitches when you're not working on them, such as when shaping a neckline or working on a sleeve.
Point Protectors: These small rubber or silicone caps cover the tips of your knitting needles to prevent stitches from slipping off when you're not knitting.
Knitting Bag or Organizer: A designated container for your knitting tools and supplies will help you keep everything in one place and easily transport your project.
