TBH most crochet books are a bit shit.
Then there's confusion with books that have US terminology VS British terminology.
Supplies like Clover brand stitch markers and some 8 ply yarn would be good gifts to help their learning.
Stick to single colour yarn but not something dark or they won't be able to follow their stitches. And not fluffy yarn. Simple 8 ply acrylic yarn would be perfect.
Also excellent advice here!
awesome - thank you

I stupidly made someone a black scarf last year.
So annoying but thankfully hid all the mistakes I made 😂
