Getting Started

If you’re new to crochet—or returning after a long break—you’re in the right place. This page will walk you through the foundations step-by-step, from your very first stitch to simple, confidence-building projects.

As you begin, you’ll slowly grow into understanding stitches and techniques more deeply—each one building on the last. When you’re ready, you can explore individual stitches in the Crochet Stitches guide, or gently refine your skills with the Crochet Techniques page.

Prefer to learn visually? You can follow along step-by-step in the Getting Started YouTube Playlist, where each lesson is slow, clear, and beginner-friendly

What you need to start.

You don’t need much to begin—just a few simple tools:

• Yarn (a medium-weight yarn is easiest to start with)
• Crochet hook (usually 4mm–6mm for beginners)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle (for finishing)
