Right then, I've chosen a square, it looks to be fairly simple involving chains and double crochet. Picture and pattern here:

The first thing to do is go here and practise a chain and a single crochet as well as starting to read what the abbreviations mean. When you've mastered a couple of rows post a photo, I'll be doing this too as I've never followed a pattern before. http://craftydaisies.com/2007/05/22/learn-to-crochet-lesson-1/

If there's anything in the videos not clear just say as there's diagrams in my book on how to hold the hook etc.

My photo isn't clear so I'll type out the instructions when we're ready to start.

How long do you want to practise this bit? Smile

Yup - I've followed the instructions and now have the smallest piece of crochet in the world Laughing

Edited to say that I can't quite see how what I've got on my crochet hook could make a lovely square like the one in the picture, but I'm sure it'll all become clear in time... Very Happy
