A cute crocheted bookmark for fans of ghost stories! This bookmark is so simple that even absolute crochet beginners can make it. It turns out best with thin cotton yarn. Ideal for beginners is, for example, Catania fine by Schachenmayr (LL 165m/50g). You only need a small leftover amount in white and a little black for the eyes. Together with an exciting book, it makes a wonderful Christmas gift!

The snowman and snowwoman are a cute pair of pot holders that will bring a wintery mood to your kitchen. Since they are mainly crocheted from circles, they are also very easy for beginners to crochet. They are crocheted double, so you can slip your hand inside. You need white pot holder yarn and scraps of pink, light blue, orange, and black.
You can download the pattern here!

Even knitting beginners can manage this pattern; it consists entirely of knit and purl stitches. The result is a cheerfully colorful pot holder that looks great in any kitchen. It is also quick to knit in thick cotton, so the frustration does not last too long :-)

Sorry, I messed up my first post.

This fluffy, stylish scarf is well suited to crochet beginners and will be finished in no time using thick yarn. For it, you need to be able to do chain stitches and double crochets and be able to count; no further skills are needed.

A rectangular stole that even beginner knitters can feel confident trying. Basically, it can be knitted in any yarn you like, and you can also use the pattern to make it into a scarf. Only knit and purl stitches are needed, and a knitting chart also helps with following the pattern.

This little Christmas tree is a good example of decoration that makes a big impact while being very easy to craft. The little tree can be placed anywhere you have a free area of about 16 x 16 cm. But you can also make several little trees at once and decorate your whole home with them.


 
The 15 cm tall little Christmas tree is made from photo cardstock and is also very suitable for crafting beginners.

Are you still a crochet beginner, but would still like to try your hand at "something bigger"?
And ideally make something that’s just for you and wearable?!
Then crochet this wonderful SOUL WARMER !

The “Snowflake” table runner can be made in any length you need, so you can customize it exactly to your wishes.


Mine is 115 cm long and 12.5 cm wide. I crocheted it with a 3.0 mm hook and a cotton yarn 125 m / 50 g. (e.g., Gründl “Mango uni” in cream)


The pattern is 10 pages long and is also suitable for beginners. Numerous photos complement the individual steps.






Have fun crocheting. :-)

- simple, but not boring.
