Crochet: Cowl
Quick and easy neck-warmer, achievable by a beginner crocheter. In fact, this is so easy that it can barely be considered a pattern.
Crochet: Baby Blanket
This is an easy pattern, suitable for an advanced beginner, especially if the last border round was changed to SC.
Crochet: Throw
You can make this afghan using two strands as I did, or you could make a smaller throw or a baby blanket by using a single strand of yarn and an appropriately sized hook.
Crochet: Washcloth / Dishcloth
Gauge is unimportant. This makes a textured fabric that works well for scrubbing.
Crochet: Washcloth / Dishcloth
I like my dishcloths to be thin, and stretchy, but not have holes in them. This is so simple ,it can barely be called a pattern. it makes a plain serviceable dishcloth.
Crochet: Shawl / Wrap, Scarf
This is a very simple beginner friendly scarf pattern. It uses only chains, single crochet and double crochet, but it looks more complex than that. Gauge is unimportant.
