Welcome to the forum. I'm sure you will find everyone extremely helpful and friendly. Hope you enjoy your time here.
I knit and also crochet. Been crocheting for 40 years. I do the same thing as you, get a pattern and then tweak it for my liking.
Presently I do alot of baby/toddler outfits, etc. as I have two grandchildren one 2 1/2 months and one 2 years old.
Enjoy
