20 quick, easy and beautiful things to crochet

In today’s post: Find 20 easy beginner crochet projects and free patterns so you can learn to crochet.

January always feels like the perfect time of year to hunker down with a good movie and a new handcraft project. Since I had carpal tunnel surgery last spring (totally worth it!) I think I can finally learn how to crochet! But I’ve been looking through cool crochet projects on the web and getting intimidated: I can’t crochet something like a basket! How many hours and skeins of yarn does it take to make one of those anyway? So I’ve gathered up some quick, easy and beautiful crochet projects: all of them are fairly small so they don’t require a big investment of time or supplies, and many of them are great projects for beginners. Hooray!

Here are 20 quick, easy, and beautiful things to crochet:
