If you've ever tried to learn a musical instrument, you know that the best way is by learning to play a song that speaks to your soul.
Yes, teachers are still going to want you to play scales, (ugh) which I'll grant is important, but it's not what's going to keep you practicing and progressing.
The only way to really get better is to love what you're doing. (Sprinkled with a little technical knowledge)
Playing with yarn is exactly the same.
The best way to learn to crochet, is with a pattern you love and will stick with - even if it gets hard or you mess up.
So my suggestion is to learn the skills you need as you go through a specific project, then come back and learn the other
Don't start with a boring dishcloth square.
Don't just use your grandma's reject yarn that you hate.
Pick something fun like:
- any of the adorable Woobles animal kits for crochet beginners
- small fully crocheted potted plants to spruce up a space with unbreakable decor
Bonus about the above suggestions: all materials are included, so you won't have to research and wade through the millions of online options to pick what you need. You can just order and jump right into becoming an awesome fiber artist!
