Crochet as a hobby?

[Swirls346]

I need a hobbie. I want to learn to crochet. How easy is jt to learn and how would I go about it ? Would YouTube be a good way or a book?
I used to knit a little bit but never really got into it. My dream would be to crochet baby blankets and cardigans.

I found this book really helpful when I started. Diagrams are clear and it covers all the basics well.
