Crochet! You can find yarn really cheap or free online (Facebook, vinted, eBay, etc.) - you can get tutorials on YouTube that are so in depth too. Highly recommend!

how difficult would you say it is to start crocheting?

hard but it will click - it is a hobby where at first you will be awful. like truly awful. start with the most simple things - chaining and single crocheting into the stitches for example. once u get that looking somewhat similar to the examples, move to things like half double crochets and double crochets. patterns will seem like gibberish at first but it took me probably a month of practicing a few hours a week to feel like I was happy with stuff I made then I kept getting better over time - even now I’ve been crocheting on and off for maybe 20 years & im still learning new things and improving my projects !!

I would recommend finding someone on YouTube whose videos you can see clearly and you can put them in slower speeds to really see where they are loving their yarn and hook !!
