Notions
Notions are all the things that are required to make a pattern. It may or may not include the needles and yarn. Some diesigners include this in the notion section of a pattern, others do not. There is no right or wrong way to do this, as long as the crafter has all the tools they need to complete the project detailed in the pattern.
Notions can include items such as:
buttons or zip
scissors
darning needle
measuring tape or ruler
stitch
