Here are some tips for learning both knitting and crocheting:

Knitting:

Start with easy projects: Begin with simple items like scarves or dishcloths to get the hang of the basic stitches.
Use the right tools: Invest in good quality needles and yarn that are appropriate for your project.
Follow patterns carefully: Knitting patterns can seem complex at first, but following them step by step will help you build your skills.
Practice makes perfect: Keep practicing and don't be discouraged if your first attempts aren't perfect. With time, you'll get better and faster.
Crocheting:

Choose the right hook: Crochet hooks come in different sizes, so make sure to choose the right one for your project and yarn weight.
Start with simple stitches: Learn the basic stitches first, such as single, double and treble crochet, before moving on to more complex patterns.
Work on gauge: Gauge refers to the tension and thickness of your work, so make sure to practice getting the right gauge before starting a project.
Follow patterns closely: Crochet patterns can be more straightforward than knitting patterns, but it's still important to follow them carefully for best results.
In both cases, it may be helpful to take a class to learn from experienced makers and get feedback on your work.
