3 How to Make a Crochet Washcloth

Crochet washcloths are my favorite way to wash my face at the end of the day.  The yarn adds enough extra texture to the washcloth to help exfoliate and make sure my makeup is removed.

4 Gathered Buds Crochet Headband

If you want simple steps that look "extra", this headband is perfect!  The stitch on this looks difficult but is honestly one of the easiest beginner stitches to learn.  A nice thick headband, it works great for keeping your hair back but also as an ear warmer in winter.

5 Gathered Buds Crochet Hat with 2 Styles

This is a two-in-one pattern!  The simple crochet hat has two finishing options to choose from.  I personally love that this is such a great crochet "Santa hat" around the holidays when you use red and white yarn.

These dishcloths remind me much more of the ones my grandma taught me to make as a child.  It's a simple dishcloth pattern with a tight weave ideal for scrubbing dishes.

7 Rippled Crochet Blanket Pattern

This easy crochet blanket is a super-fast pattern for a beginner.  Rather than taking days and days to finish, this is ideal for just a few hour's time.  The simple stitch is accented by slightly elevated ripples for a beautiful style that is classic and functional.

11 Crochet Newborn Winter Hat Pattern

This is my favorite baby hat pattern.  While it is perfect for winter, a lighter weight yarn makes it great year-round.  These are fast to make and ideal for those wanting to crochet and donate to a local shelter or cause. 

Source: Crochet.Life

12 Red Clover Accent Crochet Bag Pattern

This is another great bag pattern to try.  The difference with this is the addition of different colors in a simple clover accent stripe.  Use any color combination you want to turn this into your own custom bag. 

Source: Crochet.Life

13 North Ridge Basic Crochet Headband Pattern

I love this simple pattern that has tips for adding an accent crochet flower.  These are some of the most classic headbands or ear warmers and ideal for a beginner's first crochet project.

14 Small Delights Crochet Baby Blanket Pattern

I am in love with the easy crochet accents throughout this pattern.  While it takes a bit of time compared to others on the list, it is still simple to complete.  Make this with a single color, or follow the tips for adding stripes of colors to accent the pattern. 

Source: Crochet.Life

15 Simple Crochet Ear Warmer Pattern

If you are looking for something as basic as the classic dishcloth but also functional for daily wear, this accessory is the solution.  A simple crocheted ear warmer is great for winter months but can be used as a headband if desired. 

Source: Crochet.Life

16 Bon Bon Crochet Basket

Did you know you could crochet a basket?  This pattern is super easy to make and great for helping keep things organized.  Since the accents are a bit "messy", they hide a newbies mistakes easily and make this look pretty without having to be so exact. 

Source: Crochet.Life

17 Simple Cowl with Toggle Accents

Want a warm neck without the ends of a scarf hanging down? Make this pretty and warm cowl.  The simple added toggle or button accents really make this beautiful and more than just outerwear.  It's a perfect fashion piece! 

Source: Crochet.Life

18 Easy Crochet Hat in 4 Sizes

This fabulous hat pattern comes with 4 size options to fit children and adults of all ages and sizes.  A fast project to create, this one is a favorite of mine to whip up with small amounts of leftover yarn or even to use scrap yarn pieces and create a multi-colored hat. 

Source: Crochet.Life

19 Classic Striped Crochet Blanket

If you are looking for the quintessential crochet blanket, this pattern is sure to please.  The simple striped design adds to the beauty, but don't fear, you can follow this pattern with only one color and have a stunning result.

21 Easy Crocheted Chunky Blanket

Okay, so even if you don’t crochet, you have to admit that this blanket is absolutely stunning. I love the details in the stitches and what’s even better – it’s so easy to make! This is a great blanket for giving as a gift or keeping for yourself. You’ll need a size Q crochet hook and your yarn in whatever color you choose. It takes about 13 balls of yarn – this is a really large blanket! It also takes only a few days to make, even if you’re new to crocheting, you can have it finished in about a week.

Tutorial and Pattern: alwaysrooney

22 Soap Saver Pattern

This soap saver is great for holding those little ends of soap that are left over when the bar gets smaller. The pattern is so easy to make and allows you to use your soap until it’s all finished – even with the little bits and pieces.

This one takes an H crochet hook and just very little yarn. It’s also a really simple project that you can easily have finished in a day, even if you aren’t an avid crocheter.

Tutorial and Pattern: thestitchinmommy

23 Slouch Hat And Fringe Infinity Scarf

This slouch hat and infinity scarf go together and both of them are really easy to crochet.

These would also make wonderful gifts and they’re just so stylish! Bulky weight yarn works wonderfully for this one and you could do so many different colors. Imagine having a great hat and scarf to match every outfit!

Both the hat and scarf take little time even for beginners and are great for showing off your skills.

Tutorial and Pattern: littlemonkeyscrochet

24 Easy DIY Chain Necklace

If you’re really new to crocheting, this chain necklace is the perfect place to begin. There is very little crocheting needed to create it, so it’s a wonderful practice piece.

Plus, when you’re finished you will have this amazing homemade necklace to wear.

You could even do this with different colors if you want to up your skillset just a bit and make the necklace more easily matchable to everything in your closet.

Tutorial and Pattern: jessieathome

25 Summer Popsicle Bag Pattern

No, you won’t be storing popsicles in the bag when you’re finished. This is a pattern for a great summer snack bag that looks like a popsicle. It’s also a great place to keep sunglasses, water bottles, or your cell phone safe and handy when you’re at the lake or beach this summer. I love the red, white, and blue color scheme. You’ll get to practice changing colors of yarn while you work, and the overall project is really easy and can be finished in just a few hours.

Tutorial and Pattern: snappy-tots

26 Pretty Crocheted Afghan

I have to tell you, I’m a sucker for a gorgeous afghan. I have so many of them all over the house. They’re great for decorating the backs of couches and chairs, for beds, or just for cozying up to when it’s a bit cool outside. This one can be done in whatever color you want of course, but I really adore the off white look. It’s also easy and you can finish this in about a week or so even if you’re not working for more than just an hour or so a day.

Tutorial and Pattern: persialou

27 Adorable Crochet Giraffe

Oh my goodness this little giraffe is cuteness overload. Honestly, he’s just too adorable and would make a wonderful gift at your next baby shower. Or, you could make one for your own little one. You could totally do this in pink or blue or choose a neutral color like yellow. It’s such a lovely little baby cloth project and one that doesn’t take long at all to complete. You may even want to make a couple and create a little zoo basket.

Tutorial and Pattern: ravelry

28 Easy Ruffled Crochet Bag

I really like this little ruffled bag. I think if you’re a bit more skilled, you could totally do different colors or even create a chevron like pattern with this one. Believe it or not, the ruffles aren’t even that difficult, and this is a great bag for your first crochet project. The bag is just a bit larger than a clutch, so it’s relatively small – perfect for holding lipstick, cell phone, and other essentials for a night on the town.

Tutorial and Pattern: crochetdreamz

29 Easy DIY Fourth Of July Potholder

So, summer is coming – not quickly enough for some of us, but it’s coming nonetheless. This Fourth of July potholder will be perfect this summer for your barbecues and family get-togethers. It measures about seven by seven inches when finished, and has a gorgeous star right in the center. You could easily make a few of these in a week, even if you’re just crocheting at night after work.

Tutorial and Pattern: crochetjewel

30 Owl Granny Square Crochet Pattern

Granny squares are my favorite crochet pattern. I love how they look when they’re finished. These owls would make wonderful potholders or you could put them all together to form a blanket or any number of other wonderful creations. As complicated and gorgeous as they look, they’re really easy to make and you can customize them with whatever colors you want.

Tutorial and Pattern: repeatcrafterme

31 Crocheted Popsicle Snuggy

I really needed this pattern when my kids were younger. It’s a snuggy to hold a popsicle and it’s wonderful. Kids love popsicles, you know those thin ones in plastic, but they really do get very cold. These snuggies will keep your little one’s hands from getting too cold and allow her to enjoy her popsicle at the same time. Messes aren’t a problem either, because you can wash the snuggy when you need to. You could make several of these in a week, and it’s the perfect project for summertime fun.

Tutorial and Pattern: calleighsclips

32 Handmade Crochet Trinket Boxes

These trinket boxes are great for décor and for organizing. They’re also great for giving out as Mother’s Day gifts or for any special occasion. Use them on the dresser to hold rings or earrings and keep them in place. The pattern is really easy, and since the boxes are small, they won’t take you long at all to make – even with the tiny lid. Note that the pattern only covers the box itself – you’ll have to make the decorations separately if you want to decorate your box.

Tutorial and Pattern: yellowpinkandsparkly

33 Shell Stitch Cowl Pattern

This cowl scarf is gorgeous no matter what color you choose to do it in. The shell stitch is really easy, even if you’ve never done it before, and it makes this scarf look really beautiful. You’ll need a 6 mm crochet hook and worsted weight yarn. Four skeins of yarn make a 60 inch cowl, so you can alter the number of skeins you need based on how long or short you want the scarf. The overall workup is really easy though and you can probably finish this in just a few hours.

Tutorial and Pattern: shesowsseeds

34 Simple Crocheted Car Seat Cover

Any new mother will love receiving this crocheted car seat cover that you can easily make in just a few hours. If you really want to be creative, you can add a crocheted character to it, or just leave it plain.

It’s gorgeous either way. The cover protects babies from wind or sun – just like those that you buy in stores. But this one is homemade, and that is after all, the best way to do things.

Tutorial and Pattern: ravelry

35 Crocheted Chain Bracelets

So, we’ve seen a pattern for a crocheted chain necklace.

This one is for chain bracelets that are even easier to crochet than their longer counterparts.

You’ll need bracelet hooks to hold the chains together – and this one is done in three different colors which makes it look absolutely gorgeous.

This is another one that you can finish in just a few hours, and it’s perfectly simple for those who have never crocheted before.

Tutorial and Pattern: superziper

36 DIY Coffee Mug Cozy

This is a really easy project for a cute little copy for your morning coffee mug. You could probably adjust the pattern to fit any number of cups or glasses.

I love the buttons that hold it all together.

These would make wonderful gifts for anyone you know who really enjoys their morning coffee or you could make a matching set for your own kitchen.

Tutorial and Pattern: ravelry

37 Mystic Mermaid Cocoon

I absolutely love this little mermaid cocoon for babies. It only takes two skeins of yarn to make the cocoon including the tail and ruffles at the top.

I love the entire look of this and any new mother would really love it as a gift for her little girl. You could do it in any number of colors and even change out colors if that’s part of your skill set.

This one looks a bit more complicated but can still be completed easily in just a few hours.

Tutorial and Pattern: bhookedcrochet

38 Adorable Pixie Hat And Booties

You won’t believe how easy this adorable crocodile pixie hat and booties are to crochet. You’ll definitely want to give these a go if you have a little one coming or if you know someone who is expecting.

There are three sizes available; ranging from newborn to 24 months, so this one is great for mothers to be or new mothers.

I love the vintage look of the hat, it has such a frontier bonnet appeal to it, and the booties are just too cute.

Tutorial and Pattern: ravelry

39 Cuffed Baby Booties

Speaking of baby booties, these cuffed booties are just entirely too adorable. The little buttons on the side really makes them stand out, and I love that you can do the cuffs in a contrasting color from the actual bootie. The pattern fits sizes six to twelve months, but if you know how, you could adjust it for smaller or larger sizes. There’s also instructions on how to create the cute little flower for girls.

Tutorial and Pattern: repeatcrafterme

40 Easy Crochet Tank Top For Beginners

Done in two different colors, this tank looks really complicated, but it’s actually something you can complete in just a couple of hours. You’ll love sporting this crocheted tank at your next beach vacation, and it is certain to get loads of compliments. Sizes range from extra-small to extra-large, so you’re sure to find the right pattern and there’s even a nice little slit up the side to add to the beauty. This is such a great tank top and so easy to make.

Tutorial and Pattern: cre8tioncrochet

41 Easy Crocheted Ear Warmers

Ear warmers are so in style right now, and you can save yourself about $20 if you make one as opposed to buying it. I really love the big crocheted flower on the side of this one. I bought one similar a few months ago and paid way too much for it, considering I could have made it in a couple hours and for just a couple of dollars’ worth of yarn. I also like the grey color, but you could do this in any color that you want – or several colors and have one to match every outfit.

Tutorial and Pattern: growcreativeblog

42 Cute Baby Turban

How adorable is this little turban for little girls? This is honestly the cutest thing I have ever seen. It’s really easy to make, and would be a wonderful gift for anyone you know who is expecting a girl. You can easily make this in just a couple of hours, and in so many beautiful colors. You may also be able to adjust the pattern to make it a bit larger if you need something that’s not just for newborns.

Tutorial and Pattern: crochetforchildren

43 Crochet Peppermint Swirl Afghan

Christmas may be over, but it will come again and you can really be ready when you take the time to crochet this beautiful peppermint swirl afghan. The red and white coloring is gorgeous and this is such an easy pattern. You’ll need two colors of yarn of course, and you can even make a pillow to match – there’s a pattern for that, too. You have plenty of time to get this done before the holidays roll around again. Go ahead and make more than one – keep one for yourself and use the others as gifts.

Tutorial and Pattern: bookdrawer

44 Summer Beach Tote

You could use this great tote for the beach or make one to use as a reusable market bag. Either way, it won’t take you long to create and the finished project is just beautiful. I love the contrast in the coloring, but you could do this in a single color if it’s easier, especially if you’ve never done multiple colors when crocheting. This really is a breeze for beginners and doesn’t take nearly as long to make as you may think.

Tutorial and Pattern: thestitchinmommy

45 Crocheted Coasters

These little crocheted coasters are really pretty and they don’t take long at all to create. You could make an entire set of four in just a few hours. I love how vintage they look – think iced tea at grandma’s house. You could also do these as gifts – just give a set to anyone who you know would love them. They look like little flowers when they’re finished and have such a wonderful retro appeal.

Tutorial and Pattern: lululoves

46 Peekaboo Crocheted Flip Flops

Flip flop season is my absolute favorite. I love how comfortable these shoes are, and I really love this crocheted version of my favorite shoes. You’ll need a pair of flip flops to begin, which you can pick up at the Dollar Store for a dollar. You crochet a really stylish top to the shoes, which instantly transforms them into a dressier style. I love how easy these are to make. You can have an entire set of flip flops done in just a couple of hours.

Tutorial and Pattern: cre8tioncrochet

47 DIY Teddy Bear

I bet you didn’t think crocheting a teddy bear would be easy, but it is. The bear is crocheted with two strands of yarn held together while you work, which isn’t as difficult as it sounds. Once you’ve finished with the crocheting, you just stuff him with pillow stuffing, or use up some old rags or clothing, and he’s all done. The mouth and nose are embroidered and eyes are buttons. This is such a cute little bear and any child is going to love him.

Tutorial and Pattern: gosyo

48 Lace Shorts

I have a pair of lace shorts and let me tell you, I paid a lot for them. You don’t have to though, because you can crochet your own. These shorts are very in style right now and are so gorgeous. They’re perfect for casual or even dressier occasions. If you wanted, you could sew in something so that they’re not see-thru, or just use them as a cover up for your bathing suit when you hit the beach. The pattern makes it look so easy to create them, and I really love that wide satin ribbon at the waist.

Tutorial and Pattern: dougthewookie

49 Crocheted Basket

This pattern isn’t just for one, but three baskets. You can create an entire family of baskets, which would be perfect for holding sewing and crocheting projects, yarn, and needles. I love these for storage options, as well. If you don’t want an Ombre or striped look, you can just use one color of yarn for each basket. They are super easy and won’t take long at all to crochet. You could have all three finished in just a week, even if you don’t work on them for hours every day.

Tutorial and Pattern: allaboutami

50 Boho Tassel Crocheted Bag

You could easily just head to a department store and purchase this boho bag for around $30 or so, but then again, you wouldn’t have the joy of saying that you made it. Plus, you can easily create this gorgeous bag in about three hours, and with just a few supplies. This is one of the easiest bags to crochet, and is really beautiful with the tassels hanging down. You’ll need leather strips and a few other purse making supplies, but the gist of the work is in the crocheting.

Tutorial and Pattern: persialou

51 Ultra Soft Blanket

This lovely blanket is super soft and super easy to crochet. It’s also huge, which is perfect for beds or for cuddling up on the couch and watching a great movie. I really love the fringe on the ends, but you could probably leave that out if you wanted. This is one of the easiest blankets to crochet so it’s perfect for beginners, and it won’t take you long to make even if this is your very first crochet project.

Tutorial and Pattern: dabblesandbabbles

52 Granny Heart DIY

Okay, if you’re going to crochet then you really need to learn the granny square. These little granny hearts would be perfect for putting together a Valentine’s Day blanket or scarf or even making a throw for someone that’s getting married. It’s not nearly as complicated as I thought it was to make a granny heart, so I’m sure you’ll find it easy, too. You can practice on these if you’re just beginning and see how well you’re improving from heart to heart. Then put them all together and make yourself a nice little blanket.

Tutorial and Pattern: thecrochetcrowd

53 Easy Black And White Throw

Here’s another really easy pattern for a great blanket. I love the black and white stripes. This gives you a chance to work on changing colors, and you end up with a really nice throw blanket that’s perfect to display on the back of your couch. You can use other colors, of course, just choose two different colors so you can practice on those color changes. The yarn will cost around $20 depending on whether you find it on sale, and you’ll need a few hours of work time.

Tutorial and Pattern: becomingpeculiar

54 DIY Swirly Crocheted Cupcake

This cupcake is in the collection just because I think it’s so adorable.

This is a great project if you have kids and want to give them play food that’s also soft – perfect for smaller children who still tend to put toys in their mouths. You don’t even have to crochet that much.

Once you’re finished, you gather the material up to look like a cupcake. I love the idea of having these in little girls’ rooms for décor or maybe even integrating them into a pillow?

Tutorial and Pattern: allaboutami

55 Easy DIY Crocheted Valance

Yes, you can even crochet curtains for your home, even if you’ve never crocheted before! I love this crocheted valance – it’s easy, colorful, and such a unique idea.

You’ll be crocheting separate little flowers and then joining them all together to make the valance.

This really works up quickly and is a perfect valance for the kitchen or even bathroom – just wherever you want to display your handiwork and add a nice splash of color.

Tutorial and Pattern: onceuponapinkmoon

56 Pin Up Headband Pattern

This headband looks much like the ear warmers, but it fits a bit differently. I really love the large bow on the side, and it’s great anytime you want that pin up look with your hair.

The pattern makes a one size fits all headband, so there’s no need to adjust it for age. It will stretch to fit when you wear it.

The pattern looks really simple so you could probably finish this off in just a couple of hours.

57 Easy Bunny Outfit

This bunny hat and matching diaper cover are just too adorable.

You could get your little one all ready for Easter with this matching outfit, and you’ve got plenty of time to finish it.

I love the white and pink combination for girls, but you could totally change up the colors for boys. It even has a pom pom tail!

I love everything about this, especially the fact that it is so easy to make.

Tutorial and Pattern: repeatcrafterme

58 Chevron Crochet Pattern

So, this chevron pattern is gorgeous and you could make so many things with it. If you’re a fan of the chevron look, you can turn this into a hat, scarf, blanket, or any number of other wonderful crocheted items.

The pattern itself is not at all difficult, and teaches you to integrate three different colors of thread into the same project.

Tutorial and Pattern: rescuedpawdesigns

59 Crocheted Star Christmas Ornament

This ornament may be a little late for Christmas, but don’t worry – there’s another one coming soon, and you have time to make enough of these to completely decorate your Christmas tree in retro ornaments.

This is an easy project, and great for practice.

It’s about four by four inches in diameter, and won’t take long at all to create. If you have a snowy Saturday, this would be the perfect way to pass some time.

Tutorial and Pattern: hopefulhoney

60 Little Girl’s Valentine Head Warmer

This is a beautiful heart head warmer that you can crochet in just a couple of hours. If you don’t want it for Valentine’s Day, you could make it with any color of yarn – and it doesn’t take much yarn to create it. Or, leave the heart off and just make the head warmer – you could have that finished in about an hour or so. It’s really versatile and your little one will adore it!

Tutorial and Pattern: creatiknit

61 Easy Customizable Poncho

I love ponchos. They are just so versatile and stylish at the same time. This great poncho is really easy to make and can be done in so many different colors – you could have a poncho for virtually every outfit.

These look great when paired with boots or you could just have it on hand in case you get chilly at outdoor sporting events.

The one piece pattern makes it a cinch to crochet, and you can totally have it done in just a few hours.

Tutorial and Pattern: ravelry

62 Crocheted Fabric Baskets

Here’s another way that you can crochet nice baskets. This pattern doesn’t call for yarn however – it calls for fabric. Use fabric scraps or upcycled blankets to create them. You use a larger crochet hook for these and they are absolutely gorgeous when finished.

Fabric baskets are so great for storing all sorts of things and these are really simple to make. You can have a basket finished in about an hour or so.

Tutorial and Pattern: we-are-scout

63 Easy Crochet Throw Pillow
