I want to crochet!

I am learning how to crochet and I have so many yarn! I cant decide on what to crochet though. Give me ideas if you can! I will be here looking for patterns :)

Depends on how good you are, but when you are a starter I would begin with mice Steps!

Step 1
This one is great to make your first crochet thingies, youll make a round and you can learn how to make an stitch


Search on this forum: "Colorful Easy Crochet - Olga Tarasova - Stitch Mouse - Free"



Step 2
Make something like this second mouse, here youll learn how to make the circulair rounds motion and it got some ears and a tail.



Search on this forum: "Crochet Fanatic - Christjan Bee - Mouse - Free"


Step 3
When you know how to make rounds, you can get a more complex mouse

This one youll find when you search: "Amour Fou - Carla Mitrani - Tim the little mouse that lives in a tin - Free"


And the final step, Step 4
The mouse with the colourchange, and more addons

This one you can find by searching: "La Crocheteria - Leticia Delgado - Paula the Smug Little Mouse"

PS: I hope you like mice hahahhahah :loveliness: :$

Ofcourse you can do this with all kinds of animals, but mice are tiny, cute and easy!
Have fun!!

What kind of thing do you like to make? You can go for something wearable (a cardigan, sweater, hat etc.) or amigirumi which (dolls or things like a teddy) or maybe something for your home like a blanket or coasters? So many options to chose from! If you have a specific like maybe we can give more fitting suggestions (^_^)

cheapest options will probably be acrylic (synthetic plastic based) and cotton, try using a larger yarn and larger needle if you want to complete your first project quickly/dont have motivation to work on it for a while

Hi! I love crochet!
Look for easy or beginner level patterns. I think to practice, a number 4 or 5 needle will be better for you.
An amigurumi, a blanket, a sweater, a hat, there are many possibilities. For me, an amigurumi is easier than a piece of clothing.

Enjoy!

Hello!
Amigurumi is quite fast to achieve though getting the right tension may be tedious.
A small craft project such as a hat may be a good start, as tension matters a bit less; a scarf would be even easier.

Cotton is cheap but sometimes difficult to work with as the multiple plies dont always hold well together... chenille yarn has gotten expensive since its quite popular at the moment but its really easier to work with. It doesnt age well as a wearable though.

My honest advice would be to start with an acrylic (cheap and easy to work with) scarf in a light color and large hook. This way youll master tension and stitches. Then you can move on to more difficult stuff :)

If youre into clothing, I would try a scarf (youll learn to work in rows) or a hat (youll learn to work in the round).

If youre into amigurumi, you could start with fruit, maybe a pear. This will give you an insight into the most common techniques, like magic ring, single crochet, increases, decreases... and youll end up having a nice piece of fruit.

There are plenty of tutorials on youtube on how to make these and all the techniques you need.

For yarn I would recommend you to start with acrylic of mercerised cotton, though the latter is a little bit harder to work with.
