There are also some excellent instructional booklets available for beginning crocheters, including: American School of Needlework #1146, "Learn to Crochet in Just One Day" by Jean Leinhauser (Right-Handed Version). American School of Needlework #1147, "Learn to Crochet in Just One Day" by Jean Leinhauser (Left-Handed Version). Leisure Arts Leaflet #2738, "I Can't Believe I'm Crocheting" (instructions for both right-handed and left-handed). Crochet books can be found in Walmart Stores, Ben Franklin Stores and most stores that sell material or crafts. There are many Web sites to go to for help which includes illustrations.
