How about trying tieing a safety pin on your thread and giving yourself something to hold on to while starting to crochet? Or making your first loop and putting a safety pin in that loop to hold on to while making your chain, if that is the way you are going.. If you are making a circle, like for a doily, you might be able to do the same. I know sometimes it seems I'm all thumbs until I get started, and having something to hold that can be removed easily might help. Hope this helps you start.
Thanks for the pattern, BellaBoo
