...and go from there. I didn't pick up crochet for years despite having the tools, because I never really wanted to wear any of the patterns I saw. Then I learnt you could crochet hats, bralettes and ridiculous, fun vegetable shaped cushions. So last year I finally moved past the chains. Youtube has a lot of beginner friendly patterns!

I really really wanted to make a checkered hat, and attempting to knit my own pattern took too long so I learnt crochet last summer instead. I also agree with the tips below!
If you want to make the same hat this is it, and it is definitely beginner-friendly, tried and tested.

Hii!! I learned how to crochet during the pandemic Like so many others… I rec starting out with a small cheap ball of yarn and one hook And then crochet a small rectangle (10-20 rows?) of single crochet, then half-double, then double (basic stitch types). Follow along YouTube videos that teach you how to do this. Once you’ve gotten this done I suggest starting a small project that excites you, look on YouTube for a simple pattern tutorial that you can follow. Obvi it would be awesome to have a grannie or someone instead to learn from but YouTube is what we got. And then from there you’ll have confidence!! start following accounts/saving crochet stuff that you come across that’s inspiring bc it’s a great additional motivator that’ll keep you dreaming of future projects/make you aware of what’s possible. 💕

it's totally cool to age and society still isn't equipped to deal with that.

Sometimes you try your best and everything seems to hit the fan no matter how much you try, so you take that raincheck and take yourself out for a day.

This is what I call it hahahah made by mums everywhere but the greased up version is sold along stalls in Mumbai. Two regular slices of white bread, buttered, and the middle filling is cream cheese with red onions, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and some minced chillis. All veggies chopped mini cube size so they blend with the cheese. Toasted crispy.
