🌟 beginner-friendly crochet projects 🌟

new to crochet? looking for a cute and quick project to practice? here are four of my favorite things to make, either for myself or others:

🧶 trinket tray: i have these things EVERYWHERE in my house, its so easy to make and super useful for keeping organized! they can be as quick as making a square and stitching the corner, or following the shaped patterns i show!

🧶 earbud case holder: little granny square pouches are super simple, and use the popular granny square pattern you see a lot in crochet, add a little loop and it can attach to your bag!

🧶 chapstick holder: add a pop of color to your keychain or bag by creating a little holder for your chapstick, from flowers to mushrooms, there's tons of different patterns online (youtube/ravelry, etc.)

🧶 drawstring pouch: super useful and cute, can be small enough to fit earbuds or hairties, or big enough to fit other necessities! i also really want to make this cute little whale pouch

there are soooo many simple patterns for beginners, and these were a few that would be a great jumping off point for getting to a completed projects while you learn! if you have any more simple projects suggestions, please let me know!!
