Hi Renee, welcome to the world of crochet! I think it’s easiest to learn to crochet with a larger size hook (size I or J) and light-colored yarn at first (it’s harder to see your stitches with dark yarn).

While I have never crocheted… ever, I have always wanted to make cozy, soft blankets and other adorable things for my family, 10 grandkids and great grands! At 70, I am an active gardener/landscaper and have very good manual dexterity. Wondering what crochet hook(s) and yarn type in which to start my journey.
I just found this site on Google.
Thank you for any suggestions and
Happy New Year!
