For novice crochet maker here’s some easy step on how to crochet.

First, put a running knot ring on the hook then make another ring/loop and pull it from beginning to end the initial loop. Continue with this process until you made the chain of your desired length. Both chains can be crooked and designed in rows, or attached at the start of the row using a slip stitch and shaped in rounds. Rounds can be done by running several stitches hooked on a single loop. You can make stitches by drawing a single or several loops side to side with every loop on the chain. Remember that for every end of the stitch there should only be a single loop remaining on the hook. Tunisian crochet on the other hand, pulls out every loop of an entire row on an elongated hook prior to working them off individually.
