Crochet Sampler
The Crochet Sampler: A Daily Practice from Creativebug is a FABULOUS way to learn to crochet and add new stitches and skills to your crafting repertoire. Join Crochet Designer Twinkie Chan as she walks you through the basic crochet stitches and teach you their written abbreviations.
Once you’ve learned the basics, you will begin to crochet small swatches combining the stitches you’ve learned to create a decorative pattern. You could even crochet one swatch per day and at the end of the month decide whether to use your swatches as coasters, or seam them up to make a stunning Crochet Sampler to hang on the wall!
During Crochet Sampler: A Daily Practice, you will learn how to hold your hook, make a chain as well as how to single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet. You will then learn to make over 15+ decorative stitches, as well as how to make a granny stripe, a granny square, seam up your work and much, much more!

Crochet Hat Patterns
Rocky Shore Hat
by Emma Zobel
The Rocky Shore Hat by Emma Zobel is a fantastic, beginner-friendly pattern. The pattern is designed to look like waves hitting the rocks of a shore and it is comprised of simple and familiar stitches.
The Rocky Shore Hat is crocheted using Gloss DK weight wool. Opt for the colorway Robot (as in the pattern photo) or consider my favorite Gloss DK colorway, Plume.
Ready to top it off? Opt for a Faux Fur Pom-Pom or make your own with the Pom-Pom Maker Set by Clover Needlecraft:

Crochet Wraps Patterns
Summer Solstice Stole
The Summer Solstice Stole by Mary Dickerson is a gorgeous wrap crocheted seamlessly from side to side. The only two stitches used in this beginner crochet pattern are chain and double crochet.
The open pattern work makes this a stunning stole for spring and cool summer evenings, but layering it as a scarf in the winter would be sure to keep you warm and snug.
The Summer Solstice Stole pattern is both written and charted to help you on your journey. WeCrochet recommends Gloss Fingering Yarn (70% Merino Wool, 30% Silk) in the colorway Copper. I also love the colorways Plume and Clarity:

Crochet Beginner Blanket

Intertwine Pullover
If you’re eager to crochet your own sweater, the stunning Intertwine Pullover by Brianna Fernandez is a good splace to start . The cable is created first and then you crochet the rest by off of it.
The Intertwine Pullover Pattern is a size inclusive pattern and is filled with loads of photo tutorials to help you every step of the way. The yarn used to create this gorgeous design is WeCrochet’s High Desert Sport. The colorway featured is called Lupine. I also love the colorway Mountain Bluebird.

Crochet Dishcloth Patterns
Jazz Age Washcloth
I just LOVE the Jazz Age Washcloth by Jenny Catchings. I might even be tempted to do more dishes if this fabulous design was waiting for me in the kitchen sink!
The Jazz Age Washcloth features a 4 row repeat of fan and v-stitches, making it a simple pattern to memorize and a suitable crochet pattern for beginners.
Too precious to use on the dishes? Crochet this gorgeous pattern and keep it as a washcloth instead. Use a cotton-linen-blend yarn like Cotlin to achieve the best result!
Crocheted washcloths are the PERFECT place to practise new stitches and techniques. Keep scrolling for even more Dishcloth Crochet Patterns for Beginners!
