What should I teach an absolute beginner?

Hey everyone! I'm meeting up with a new friend soon and he wants me to teach him how to crochet. What would be a good beginning project? Should I just teach him basic stitches and start him on a scarf or should I try to teach a granny square? I'm an upper level intermediate crocheter, but I taught myself and I didn't learn basics first, I just kinda collected skills as I went on with more complex projects.

Thanks :D

My very first project was a bathmat. Just a rectangle with sc. But what helped me most as a beginner was using t-shirt yarn. It’s nice and big, so I could see my stitches more easily.

You can buy t-shirt yarn. Or (what I did) you can go to the thrift store, get a few $1 XXL cotton t-shirts, and make yarn out of it. Plenty of YouTube tutorials out there on how. Plus, it’s nice if you don’t want to commit to the hobby yet and spend more money on a full skein of yarn.

Good luck!
