Dear users, dear designers,

I’ve created a beginner-friendly crochet loop that consists only of chain stitches and single crochet.



You’ll need either 90 m of yarn suitable for a 7–8 mm hook or 180 m of yarn suitable for a 3.5–4 mm hook (this yarn is then worked double), plus a size 8 crochet hook.

This loop can be made beautifully from leftover yarn. Rainbow colors or different shades of the same color also look great. That way, even beginners can quickly achieve their first lovely results.

Questions? I’m always happy to answer them, of course.

The ideal starter project for anyone who loves amigurumi! Single crochet stitches, increases, and decreases. Versatile and customizable. Just stuff it differently and give it a different face. A few bits of leftover yarn are all you need, and you’re ready to go.

And for beginners who are ready to take on a bit more, there’s “Knirps.” Knirps is free and perfect for practicing. Use it as a bag charm or as a little doll for decoration on the changing table. Here, too, a bit of leftover yarn is all you need. And those first double crochets aren’t really that hard. Why not give it a try?

The small flowers made from leftover yarn are very well suited for beginners.
And so you can turn them into something great right away, the pattern also explains how to magically make a necklace, ring, and bracelet from them.
But this pattern is also ideal for jazzing up a shirt or dress!

You need to know: chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet, and half double crochet.
Almost everyone has a few bits of leftover yarn and a button for fastening at home, and then young and old can get started.

A lovely floral greeting like this is always well received. And with the detailed, illustrated pattern you can crochet one, two, or even a whole bouquet of tulips in no time! The pattern is generally suitable for (ambitious) beginners. For each tulip, you’ll need about 10 g of green yarn (stem + leaf) and 7 g of a color of your choice for the tulip blossom (+ pipe cleaners and stuffing). The tulips are about 22 cm tall-

90% of my patterns are intended for beginners, and I’d be happy to introduce you to my 3 “favorite” crochet pieces here.

Lucky Charm Snail is quick & easy to crochet. The pattern includes pictures and is described in detail.
For yarn, I recommend 100% cotton, for example Catania Uni. A 2.5 mm crochet hook as well as a 3.0 or 3.5 mm hook can be used. To the pattern: click here




The dragon Lovely is also a great project for beginners.
Best of all, he can already be used as a toy animal for babies.
You can use almost any type of yarn with the matching crochet hook.

Here you can get to the pattern


My Favorite Play Kitchen includes several patterns for crocheting various little items for the play kitchen and children’s grocery store. Quick and easy for crochet beginners.
This way to the pattern

Christmas isn’t far away anymore; my Advent calendars are kept extra simple,
for one thing, they’re suitable for beginners
and for another, they should be quick to crochet, since you need 24 pieces
whether 24x the same little animal, or different ones
there’s room in the belly for a small gift

at the moment there are 12 different little animals, but more will be added before Christmas

Easy, quick and still a cute and unusual design! Whether as a gift or for yourself, everyone will love this hat!

Difficulty level: Very easy! Absolutely anyone can crochet this hat! With the help of the included template, you can crochet any size with any yarn. No annoying stitch counting is needed! You just crochet and crochet and crochet, and every now and then simply hold your hat up to the template to compare. Crochet time: 2-3 hours

You only need to know how to crochet chain stitches and half double crochets. And if anything is still unclear, just write to me and I’ll help you.

Here’s the pattern!

Very simple, but with a wow factor: the diagonally striped hat, which is also very easy to adapt to any type of yarn. Beginners
can use the included photo tutorials to learn decreases and increases, as well as
the (really very simple!) provisional cast-on and the
3-needle technique for joining pieces (instead of sewing :-)). Both techniques are
simple and useful for many other projects.

Lokman the Tiger is a wonderful beginner’s project for anyone who wants to try their hand at knitting stuffed animals. The pattern is designed so that anyone can choose whether to knit in rounds or rows. And, let’s be honest, doesn’t he have a heart-melting look? You just have to adopt him!

A neck warmer made from a rectangle—it doesn’t get any easier than this.
Even kids can make it, and the chunky look gives this scarf that special something.

This triangular shawl is perfect for beginners! With the yarn of your choice, you can get started right away and knit the shawl as large as you like! The pattern for the knitted rose is, of course, included too! Basic knitting skills are enough as prerequisites (and a little crochet for the shawl’s edging). That’s relaxed knitting!

You can find the knitting pattern for the triangular shawl here:

The pattern is very well suited for beginners because the design is easy to crochet and easy to remember. That means you can take the shawl with you anywhere to crochet. Everything is explained step by step in the pattern and with pictures!

If you want to start crocheting or have just started, then this shawl is the absolute summer MUST for you :-)

Measurements

Length: 150 cm
Width: 80 cm

The shawl can be enlarged as much as you like. However, you will need 50 g more yarn for that. The shawl has no border.

What do I need?
  • Schachenmayr Batiko Sun, 200 g (or yarn of a comparable weight: 50 g = 90 m)
  • Crochet hook size 7
  • Medium yarn needle
What should I know how to do?
  • chain stitches
  • slip stitches
  • double crochet
And here is the link:

The buttonhole band is crocheted with single crochet stitches. In the pattern, I show you exactly how it’s done. You need 200 g of thick “Olympia” yarn by Lana Grossa, a size 9 circular knitting needle, a size 6 or 7 crochet hook and a decorative button. Then you’re ready to get started!

Best wishes and have fun making it - Your Ina

With gradient yarn, even as a beginner you can knit wonderful shawls. 

The pattern for the Magnolia shawl is one of my patterns that, like a few others, is well suited for beginners.


You will need the following materials

1100 meters of gradient yarn, 4-ply, 1 size 4 circular knitting needle, 1 darning needle for weaving in ends. Possibly 4 stitch markers, if you would like to mark the spots for the increases
.
In the pattern you will find a small overview of online shops that carry gradient yarn.

So get a yarn cake in your favorite colors and you can get started right away. You should be able to knit knit stitches, and if you get stuck, I’m here too.

I hope you have lots of fun with your project.

Here is the pattern

Best wishes

Christa

No matter how hot it may still be right now – autumn is sure to come, and after a beautiful, colorful time it will turn rainy and gray again. With this window decoration, you can bring golden autumn into your home and let it shine on your windows a little longer.



These autumn leaves are made from photo cardstock and transparent paper, approx. 18.3 to 19.2 cm wide and approx. 23.2 to 26.5 cm tall. They are wonderfully suitable both for craft beginners and for crafting with children!
