To learn to crochet I used a youtube video which shows the basics, a 3.5mm crochet hook ($2.50) and some old yarn. A couple of false starts which I unravelled and two starts which I clipped off and discarded as they were very wonky and I had constructed an approximation of a square as per the video. Next I printed the bunny project and used a pen to help note the counting and mark off rows I had completed. The arms and legs are the hardest part because they are such narrow tubes!
Crochet was easier than I initially thought despite taking about 6 starts to get going and have it look like the video. I know I've only done a very basic stitch so far, but I'd love to have a go at doing some granny squares and make a blanket.
Youtube is fantastic for learning something like this where written instructions are less useful than actually seeing something done. It took me a little experimenting over about 5 days and then each bunny took a couple of days to make.
