Most of the books give you the directions for all stitches needed to create the patterns within. I tend to look back at my crocheting for dummies book often. It will teach you all the basics plus teach you how to adapt patterns for different sizes.Once you get the stitches down… which I’m sure you will, I find crochet easier than knitting… there are some really good pattern books called hooked on toddlers/babies or hooked for toddlers/babiesthe patterns are easy and they give directions from baby sizes all the way to toddler sizes.

All the above answers are good. I went to the site that 123456 suggested and it is really nice. Another you could try is newletters.drgnetwork.comThey send you info and patterns for a project every 2-3 weeks and most are current styles. Hope this helps Happy crocheting

The pattern repeats every 13 stitches. So chain number of patt repeats you want times 13. Then add 4 more chain sts.

Wal-Mart sells a learn how kit for under $ 12. It comes with hook, book, stitch markers, etc. You will need to buy your own yarn. Actually any good how to book will give you directions. Pick out a project, get the proper size hook and yarn and off you go. Good Luck.
