One of my first projects was actually a freehanded Afghan. I just started a chain, and started with a basic single crochet stitch, about 10 rows in, I determined that I was actually doing BLO sc instead of going through both loops of the top v. I then switched to regular sc, keeping the BLO at the bottom, and 10 BLO on each side as a built in border. After a while, I switched to hdc, then dc, back to sc, and just kept switching in no particular order or pattern. It was a great way to just practice the basics. And even though it was supposed to be a couch blanket for me, my husband sleeps under it each night.

So while making something as big as a blanket may be daunting, it is really good practice in keeping your tension consistent ,and reinforcing good techniques.

Hope this helps

I really like teaching people to make crochet frisbees as an early project, especially if I’m teaching kids. They work up pretty quick and help teach the basics of crocheting in the round, and they’re fun! :grin:

Here’s a pattern similar to what I make if you’re interested. :blush:

leggy frogs, headbands, bookmarks, and octos are all fairly easy projects!

When I was a beginner I made granny squares, because you could make anything with them, you could make a lot and make a blanket or something smaller like a bag or small pouch or book cover or just making 1 for a coaster.

Here is a website which has a lot of different granny squares including simple ones and harder creative ones like animals, it has step by step photos so it’s really easy to follow. https://grannysquare.me/

Here is a website to a flower one which teached me popcorn and cluster stitch, it had step by step photos and is also really easy to follow:

If your into amigurumi, I suggest this website with a lot of free patterns, and you should start with the small keychains one. They also have stitch turtorials.

Sorry this is quite long, hope this is helpful and there’s no ribblr patterns because when I was beginner I didn’t use ribblr patterns. Good luck :+1:

Dish cloths, or blankets These usually have repeats in rows. There’s so many stitches you can learn by making these. Not just basic stitches but ones that create texture and detail to your projects.
