Crochet can be a little scary, if you never had any experience. When I started about almost 3 years ago, I admit it was all a little overwhelming.
So here are a few helpful tips that I hope makes it a little easier ☺
Your going to need a crochet hook & yarn. The size of hook and type of yarn are completely up to you☺But
Here are a few suggestions:
Clover Amour crochet hooks 10 pack , they can be a little pricy but we'll worth it. I bought my set at Joanns Fabric store with a 50 % off coupon , so at $74.99 I saved about $37.00 dollars yay☺

If you already chosen a crochet pattern, whether it's a blanket or Amigurumi ( stuffed Toy) the pattern will tell you what materials you need to create it ( what size hook & type of yarn ).
Also Try to pick a pattern that's simple and has plenty of pictures. Most crochet patterns will have the difficulty listed on whether it's beginner, intermediate, or Advanced.
Lastly the basic stitches used in most crochet patterns are:
Single Crochet
Double Crochet
Magic Ring
Increase ( 2 stitches in one stitch )
Invisible Decrease ( making 2 stitches into 1 stitch )
chain stitch
slip stitch
There are tons of video tutorials on YouTube with help on how to create these stitches or if prefer pictures there are plenty of tutorials online.
I will be coming out with video tutorials on all the stitches at a later time☺
Also just in case you haven't chosen a pattern yet here are a couple of places to find them
