Welcome!

My best advice is to start small...I know, small graphs aren't as appealing, but it's good practice to start small and to see what graph crochet is like before embarking on a huge project that may end up daunting.  I know that I don't like to start small, but I always regret it when I don't, like when I tried bead crochet and had so much trouble with the extra step of holding the beads, I almost gave up!  But that's when I took a step back and started small...LOL, or big, in this case , with a very small, simple pattern and pony beads.  It worked!

Hi there and welcome,

I don't like the start small advice (because I'm a glutton for punishment and love a challenge), but also because I have found that if you do make a small graph, it should be really, really simple or you'll lose a lot of the detail.

Sherry,

Great advice!  I second that...a very simple small graph is best.
