@Autoren,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. All patterns presented here must be doable for beginners with basic skills, must have at least 10 sales / a CR of at least 2%, and must not have been presented in the forum in the past 3 weeks. 

This little tissue pouch is very easy and quick to crochet, in many different variations. Your leftover yarn will disappear in no time and turn into a sustainable accessory.

My tip: A pretty pouch like this is also a great place to hide gifts.

Beginners usually start by crocheting pot holders. It’s fairly quick and not too difficult. Crocheting pot holders doesn’t have to be boring either.
How about this sleeping cat, for example?

It’s modeled after the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland and is crocheted primarily in rounds.
