Beginners get frustrated when they try to learn the various stitches. You won't find much information for the stitches that are trade marked for example camel stitch. You will find so many references of this type of stitch under different headings, since it is patented. The best practice is take up any one stitch; understand it, practice it and when you attain a certain speed you can move on to the other stitch.

Now let's talk about the crochet hook. Many people start with the hook. That is they will first select the hook then look for the pattern with that hook. This is not right. Actually if you pick up the hook which is used very rarely then finding the pattern for that hook may take days or months. The best practice is first select a pattern and find out the hook for it. If the pattern is common finding the hook for it won't be a problem.

Choosing the right material for crochet is equally important. If you have not selected the right material for your crochet then your entire project will be screw up. While selecting the material for crochet, consider the weight and thickness of the material, fiber types and your budget. All these things are consider together for example if certain type of fiber is suitable for your project but it is costly and your project require lots of it then you should not select that fiber considering your budget.
