If you are just beginning I would recommend a medium weight yarn, a basic four-ply yarn of good quality. The first thing to consider is the type of hooks or hooks you'll be using.
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. If you don't know of anybody to help you, jump online and do a search for crochet baby blanket patterns. At the time, knitting seemed over my head and maybe even a bit "granny-ish".
For those who want to learn the art of simple crochet, you need go no further than your local craft store. While some people like to meet friends through this common interest, some people are also more comfortable working independently on their crochet and their work comes out just as fine. Cebelia yarn is widely available in art and craft shops as well as many departmental stores.
I find it very relaxing, a great stress reliever. So if you are looking for the perfect gift, look no further than crochet.
