The methods for forming the stitches and holding the hook and yarn remain the same; you simply use your left instead of right hand. Although different kinds of yarn are used by different people for crocheting, a very popular and widely appreciated variety used for crocheting is Cebelia, a 100% cotton crochet yarn.
If you make enough of them, you can sew them together to make hats, Afghans, and many other warm and creative items. It's always best to choose a yarn of the same weight - worsted, finering, chunky etc. Over the years, there have been many, many books written on crochet and baby blankets are easily one of the most popular items to crochet.
You can follow books, or you can watch video's to learn. Some of the more common stitches are chain, single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet, popcorn crochet, and cluster crochet. In the past it was very common to work directly from a picture of finished work or from a sample.
As you practice, you will learn more and more. Everyone can learn to crochet, practice up!
