@Timecircleline I'd recommend a hat. It's quicker than a scarf and you learn lots more from it (eg: decreases).
Also, if you come from crochet, take a look at continental knitting! You tension the yarn in your left hand which is more crochet-like.
If a long tail cast on (probably what your mum was trying to teach you) was too much at once, try a knitted cast on: put a slip stitch on your left needle, knit it but don't slide it off, put the new stitch next to it on your left needle, repeat.
I just watched a video on continental knitting and the tensioning seemed so close to what I use for crochet! Thank you!
Also thay cast on method also makes a lot of sense. I’ll keep a look out for a pattern for a good beginner beanie.
I learned to crochet before knitting, and continental is pretty similar hand positions, especially with the tensioning. The trick for me was getting used to keeping all the stitches on the needles and not losing them as I worked a row. :)
Very pick knits on YouTube has lots of great tutorial videos. youtube.com/@verypinkknits?si=hwc9U1nsZSY40QHO
There are also crocheted cast ons you can try if you want to practice stitches without fighting the cast on process. youtu.be/Q45uaQRy8XQ?si=cJNZuQFTlty8JXyn is a good example.
