Hello, sighted person here. Since nobody else has answered yet, I will propose crochet. You would probably need somebody to teach you but this would be doable. Start with big yarn so it is easy to feel the structure. I personally prefer knitting but I think crochet is more beginner friendly and probably also easier to learn by touch.

There is a great adaptive crocheting technique for the blind by a visually impaired nun named Sister Margaret Mary on YouTube if that helps.

I don't know how to crochet, but my wife taught me how to knit and I've taught some of my clients as well. They like it, and chunky yarn definitely makes it easier (but not the stuff that can split easily).

Knitting, and some sculpturing with clay are the two big ones I've seen.
