Hey there!
I’m new to crochet and I think it would be really useful to get a few tips and tricks from experienced crocheters and some beginner patterns would really help as well
Thanks for the help

Hoiii, the best way to learn is watching looots of crochet videos on youtube. Even if you feel like you understand everything, you still find new tips and techniques all the time.
I recommend learning how to sc (single crochet), dec (decrease), inc (increase), ch (chain), mr/mc (magic ring), and bo (bobble). I find that these are used the most in patterns i use, might be different based on what you like making.
I also recommend watching videos on how to do invisible decreases, they are much neater than normal decreases.
Also videos on the difference between yarn under and yarn over. If you want to make amigurumi (plushies) then i recommend yarn under.
Also ribblr had lots of beginner projects. When searching you can use the filter and set it to beginner. When reading a pattern you can click on the terms you dont understand and ribblr will show you a quick demo on how to do it.
Good luck <3
