Anyone can learn to crochet! Start simple, practice consistently, and have patience with yourself. Here are my recommendations, the internet is full of free resources!

Materials:

-basic acrylic yarn in a light color (easier to use and see your stitches)

-small crochet hook set, sizes from 3-5mm (you don’t have to have a huge set of hooks to start)

-scissors

Start slow with practicing simple stitches:

-Chain stitch

-single crochet stitch
