Absolutely suitable for beginners is this
practical shopping net
with the life motto "Live Love Laugh".
This cute shopping net reminds you to take a short break now and then and enjoy life. Thanks to the filet pattern, the bag is crocheted in no time and also makes a great gift.

For the material, I used Catania by Schachenmayr, of course
you can also use any other cotton yarn - also great for
using up leftovers. Crochet hooks 2.5 mm and 3.0 mm.
The bag is 35 cm wide and 45 cm tall (including handles).

Suitable for beginners.

The pattern is described in detail with a counted pattern, crochet chart, and lots of pictures.

The little ghost, a fun bookmark, is perfect for beginners! It works up in no time and is therefore a "very last-minute idea" for a gift. (Maybe together with a ghost book?)
It is super easy to crochet, and you only need a tiny bit of yarn. A little tip: the thinner the yarn, the better, so the bookmark won’t be too bulky!

Even complete beginners can crochet this little airplane, because you mostly only need to work single crochet stitches. If you crochet just one, you’ll have a fun keychain. If you make several of them, you can turn them into a pretty mobile for a child’s room. Also ideal for using up leftover yarn!

You can find it here.
