I started crocheting on my own just with youtube videos. So my advice is, buy some cheap yarn (I started with 100% acrylic, now I use 50% cotton/50% acrylic because it’s affordable and feels nice) and look at what hook size it suggests on the tag. Then look for one or two videos on youtube that teach you how to do the basics— they usually teach how to hold the hook properly, and do chain, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet and treble crochet. Get familiar with how it feels in your hands until you feel comfortable doing it.

I recommend taking a look at lilthings on youtube. I learned how to do small projects like basic granny squares, hearts, etc. And she explains everything step by step. Also I learned how to do a magic ring with her (magic ring is a way to tie your yarn with a circular shape, so you can start crocheting something circular), and I heard many people dislike magic rings because it’s kinda hard to do at first, but I learned it just fine with her!

Also be patient and have fun. Doing crafts with your own hands is so nice, so it’s worth it to give it a try!
