Learning a new hobby is so much fun, but it can be hard to wait until your skills improve so you can start working on more exciting projects. A lot of compilations of beginner crochet patterns have too many boring projects like dishcloths.
The cool thing about crochet is that there are so many kinds of projects that a newbie can tackle with just the basic stitches. Beginner crochet patterns don’t have to be boring, and you’ll soon see just how exciting they can be!
1. Drawstring Pouch
Ok, maybe a drawstring pouch doesn’t sound too exciting to you, but hear me out. Instead of using your hard work to wash dishes with, you can use this pouch to store cool rocks and crystals!
