One of the good things about being a beginner crocheter is that you don't have to worry at all about making mistakes.
You're always, by definition, working on practice pieces – and it's OK for those pieces not to turn out exactly as planned.
The important thing is that you learn from the missteps and enjoy the process.
It might take a while before you feel confident in your skills – and that's OK, too!
Just know that there is no such thing as failure when it comes to learning how to crochet.
Start with the basics. Do single crochet stitches in rows until you have a washcloth. Use a worsted weight acrylic yarn so that it doesn't shrink or come apart at the seams when you wash it.
Beginner Cotton Wash Cloth by Jessica Reeves Potasz can be used for lots of different projects.
