Getting Started with Crochet: Materials Needed

To begin, gather the materials required for this project. You'll need:

• Yarn: Choose soft and pliable yarn in your favorite chrysanthemum colors. I recommend acrylic yarn for its flexibility and wide range of colors.

• Crochet Hook: Grab a hook size that suits your yarn choice. Smaller hooks create tighter stitches and smaller flowers, while larger hooks yield bigger flowers.

• Scissors: Don't forget to have a pair of scissors handy for cutting yarn and trimming the final bouquet.
