What are the equipments needed in crochet?
My daughter who is taking up summer classes said she wanted to do some crochet work during her vacant time. She only have classes in the morning so the rest of her afternoon is free. She saw some crochet stuffs like bag and hat from her friends in school and she wanted to try them. What are the equipments need in crochet? Are there free crochet patterns available online for beginners?

All you need to crochet is a crochet hook and yarn, string or ribbon.
Crochet hooks come in varying sizes from 2.25mm-Size B or 1 to 19mm-Size S (US Standard).
Yarns, strings and ribbons can be acquired at specialty Yarn Shops, craft stores (local and national chains) and even big box discount chains.
There are ample patterns available on the internet for free. See links below for a start.
Crochet is basically the art of "cross over-pull through." Every pattern is some variation of inserting the hook, crossing the yarn over the hook and pulling it back through. Hard to envision, but easy to grasp when holding yarn and hook.
Lately I have seen many 'stitch & bitch' groups pop up at yarn shops, favorite coffee houses and even libraries. They're usually informal and friendly (just show up at the appointed hour). This is an excellent way for your daughter to get lots of help for free while enjoying her new pastime with people who share a common interest.
