Crochet uses a single hook and works one stitch at a time, which makes it quick to learn and easy to fix. Start with a 5 mm (H-8) hook and a smooth, light-coloured worsted weight yarn.
Learn the chain, single crochet and double crochet first. Free video libraries such as New Stitch a Day show every stitch, and blogs like Moogly and Daisy Farm Crafts have hundreds of free beginner patterns: dishcloths, granny squares, beanies and blankets.
Note that US and UK crochet terms use the same names for different stitches (a US single crochet is a UK double crochet), so check which terms a pattern uses before you start. For C2C blankets and tapestry crochet, a photo-to-pattern tool or pixel grid editor turns any picture into a graph.
