First attempt at a blanket🌸

Here is the beginning of my 1st crochet blanket. It’s all half double stitches. Wish me luck! I’ll update once I finish it!

For beginners, starting a blanket project is an excellent way to practice essential techniques like the half double stitch, which is both versatile and easy to learn.

Cat blanket for Iris & my first attempt at a hat
Made a belated birthday present for my cat (Iris) 😅 and she really enjoys it. Tried to make a hat without any tutorial and it turned out pretty good (: might expand on it at some point just to make it a little longer #crochet #newcrocheter #beginnercrochet #beginnercrocheter #Lemon8

First blanket
I learned how to crotchet about two weeks ago, I threw myself into it so I wouldn’t be focused on grief and made an over 5 foot blanket in 6 days. I think I did pretty well for it being my first one, I know it’s not the best and it’s not even. But I think it’s pretty decent :) #crochet #crocheti
