    Can anyone recommend where to start? I really want to learn but for me the first steps are always really daunting.

    ^ Same. The first thing I made was a granny square and just went from there x

    Like previous replies, I'd recommend watching Youtube for easy tutorials regarding different stitches and techniques.

    Try crocheting a granny square - they're easy and fun for a newbie. :)

    Thank you for this inspiring thread. I was browsing some crochet Beenie/hat for new born and came across vet pricey-to-me ones (above + 79$).

    Doing it yourself is the way to go for me. I guess I can use my own creativity to make a cool design ^_^ ... But first and for the most challenging-for-me part is to start learning how to crochet as I don't know anything about it lol.

    I will start browsing Youtube for instructions for beginners :p

    So I started crocheting a baby blanket just to keep myself occupied and to make time pass by faster. :)

    It's pretty straight forward and I think it's adorable.
