Sure the phrase may seem overused, but especially since you're just starting to squat...Squat More
. Choose any rep range you want, just keep doing them. Practice good form again and again. Just learn the movement, don't worry about what's on the bar right now, and the weight will come.
after that point, i'd say just keep (somewhat) slowly increasing weight, decreasing reps when necessary. Then, as was mentioned, there are a ton of squat routines in the stickies at the top of this forum.
good luck!
