As the simplest of the crochet designs, these can be the best to cut your teeth on when it comes to enhancing your skills. If you don't want to end up with your sleeves a different shade to your body, make sure all of the batch numbers on the balls you buy are the same.
I have known three housewives who have gone into crocheting, first as a hobby, and then into business, making sweatshirts, shawls and pillowcases in different designs and different colors. If you want, you can check with Mom to see what colors the nursery is decorated in. You can follow books, or you can watch video's to learn.
Even so, you may still need to play around wth the tension - adding or reducing the number of stitches until the tension square matches that in the pattern. For beginners, it may be best to first attempt to crochet a dress for a small child. You may be able to find places that you can go to download the patterns onto your computer to print off later.
That is one of the great things about crochet. Crocheting is an art form.
