Beginner Crochet Book or Kit

[BeenThereItgetsbetter]

Can anyone recommend any good resources (books or kits) for someone learning to crochet? Complete beginner but keen to give crochet a go.

Videos on YouTube are by far the best way! HappyBerryCrochet does a playlist that gets you through the most basic stitches really well. Then she shows you the various associated techniques. She’s really clear and slow.

Get a hook and wool and go for it!

Yes YouTube is the way, Bella Coco videos are brilliant for beginners. That's how I learned.

@PrizedPickledPopcorn and @Kgfkbd , thanks for the suggestions. Will have a look at both of those.

Hi @PrizedPickledPopcorn @Kgfkbd & @BeenThereItgetsbetter I want to learn too, zero experience. What do I buy to get started?

A ball of lightish coloured yarn, as it’s easier to see what you are doing.
One colour rather than fancy, cheap is fine. The yarn size and hook size need to match. So a double knit yarn works up with a size 4 hook.

Bella Coco does videos from the beginning.

Dorling Kingsley Little Book of Crochet is good for beginners and you tube!

I always recommend this little book, really clear diagrams and together with Bella Coco would be a great start.

Use light coloured yarn as well.
