To crochet, start by making a slip knot on the crochet hook, then create a foundation chain by yarn over and pulling through loops repeatedly. Next, learn a basic stitch like the single crochet: insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook. Continue this across the row. To make additional rows, chain one to turn, then crochet into the stitches of the previous row. Finish by cutting the yarn and pulling it through the last loop to secure. Here is a simple step-by-step beginner guide:

• Make a slip knot and place it on the hook.
• Hold the yarn and hook comfortably, keeping tension in the yarn.
• Yarn over and pull through the loop on the hook to make a chain stitch; repeat to form a chain.
• For single crochet: insert the hook in the second chain from the hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over again, and pull through both loops.
• Chain one at the end of the row to turn, then repeat single crochet in each stitch of the previous row.
• Finish by cutting the yarn and pulling through the last loop to secure.

This foundational process is enough to begin practicing crochet. With practice, more complex stitches and patterns can be learned.
