You totally can!! Crochet is just a series of slip knots. There are lots (tons) of how two videos on youtube. And there are tons of simple and easy patterns for beginners. You could start off with something simple like a small square potholder or coaster.SeekingPeace wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:51 am That's really pretty! I've always wanted to learn how to croquet. I wish I could teach myself!

And there are books available with lots of illustrations to walk you through each step. One of my Aunts taught me how to crochet and do granny squares. She was a wiz at it, she made sweaters and vests. I can make blankets, I don't have the patience to sit and count stitches for increasing and decreasing that is required for sweaters and tops, etc. Maybe one day, lol. But I've made several crochet blankets. I made a huge one big enough for a double bed for my brother out of blue yarn (his favorite color) using the shell stitch. I made a baby blanket for my niece using a double chain and a boubble stitch and wove thin ribbon through the alternating double chain stitches. I made a huge one for myself using same pattern, that I throw on the bed when I need some extra warmth. I didn't weave ribbon through the double chain stitches thought. I learned how to do the shell stitch and the double chain/boubble pattern from pattern booklets I found at craft stores.
