Crochet is a great hobby to take up. Many older women do seem to have an innate ability to crochet, simply because it was a tradition handed down from generation to generation.
Many people find that crochet can reduce stress levels. Crochet was considered to be suitable only for the rich with the poorer people having knitted items. I have known three housewives who have gone into crocheting, first as a hobby, and then into business, making sweatshirts, shawls and pillowcases in different designs and different colors.
In addition to hooks and yarn, there are also several other tools that you should consider getting before you start a crochet project. Also take a look at the crochet instructions to determine the materials needed for your project. You may be able to find places that you can go to download the patterns onto your computer to print off later.
Choose your yarn and get started. Once you have practiced and feel you are ready to try an easy pattern, you can do a search online for a scarf pattern, which is what most beginners start out with.
