Engaging Starter Projects for Art

As a beginner,I would say to try to learn the basic stitches(slipknot,chain,single crochet,half double crochet,double crochet,& treble crochet). It seems like one or more of those show in every project.

What I did when I first started learning was I practice all of the stitches like I would chain 50 and just practice doing the stitches for as many rows until so that I can visually see them getting better
