Most beginners start out in the middle with a worsted-weight yarn and a size H-8 (5mm) hook. This is a good middle-of-the-road size that will help you get used to the rhythm of your crochet stitches. When you’re more experienced, you can try smaller hooks with lighter yarns as well as larger hooks with heavier yarns.
How do I begin to learn to crochet?
Which is easier to learn knitting or crocheting?
Once you’ve learned the basics, many people find crocheting easier than knitting because you don’t have to move the stitches back and forth between needles. Crocheting is less likely to unravel by mistake than knitting is. This is a major benefit of crocheting when first learning how to crochet vs knit.
