A really simple pattern that even crochet beginners can handle easily is the pair of “Snowman and Snowwoman” pot holders, which would love to make themselves at home in your kitchen this winter.

They’re essentially made up of circles crocheted in spiral rounds. The pot holders are crocheted in double layers so you can slip your hand in from the bottom, just like a glove.

You should be able to do the following:

• Magic ring,
  
• chain stitches,
  
• single crochet,
  
• half double crochet,
  
• double crochet,
•  crocheting in rounds and rows.

And here’s what you’ll need:

• 120 g white cotton (130 m/50 g),
  
• leftover yarn in black, orange, pink, and light blue,
  
• Crochet hook size 3

You can find the pattern here!

Bookworms can always use bookmarks. How about giving these funny ghost bookmarks to the neighborhood kids who visit you on Halloween instead of candy? That would be something completely different!

You can crochet the bookmarks quickly and easily and use up your leftover yarn. Use the thinnest cotton possible (such as Catania fine or sock yarn) so the bookmarks don’t add too much bulk inside the book.

Here’s the pattern!

Perfect for beginners and just right for the season—these Halloween window garlands are super easy to make and require no prior experience.


 
All the garland elements are cut out of cardstock and threaded onto the nylon string. The chains shown are each about 85 cm long, but can be adjusted as desired or needed.

These lucky ladybug potholders can be the highlight and a splash of color in your kitchen. They are very easy and absolutely suitable for beginners (basic knowledge is required).

My tip:
Crochet 2 pairs right away, then you'll have a pretty gift in reserve.

This blanket is perfect for beginners



The pattern explains each round in written form; if you prefer to work from a crochet chart, you’ll find one included in the pattern as well. You’ll only be crocheting double crochets, chain stitches, and slip stitches.

I used up leftover yarn to make this blanket: Schachenmayr Regia Angora Merino. However, any other yarn will work just as well.

A small project for beginner knitters



For this dishcloth, you’ll need basic knowledge of knit and purl stitches.

The sheep design is provided as a knitting chart so you can count the individual stitches yourself, or it is also shown row by row in writing with pictures.

For my dishcloths, I used cotton yarn with a meterage of 115 m (e.g. from Gründl) or Pro Lana Joker 8 with a meterage of 87 m. The shorter the meterage, the larger the dishcloths will be. I made sure they can be washed at a minimum of 40°C.
