Tag: are assorted crochet kits good for learning crocheting
Today, I’m bringing you another Christmas crochet project inspiration. This time, with a free pattern included! I bought an assorted kit for making a garland of crocheted Christmas trees, but ended up changing the pattern to my own taste, and making individual hanging decorations instead of a garland. It was a bit of a learning cure, especially with the pattern tweaks, but I’m really pleased with how cute these turned out!

In today’s episode of learning to crochet from zero to hero, I’d like to share with you my most elaborate project so far. I bought an affordable crochet set for making a cute gingerbread man toy, wanting to challenge myself with techniques I haven’t tried before. It wasn’t a smooth journey all along, and I did make significant mistakes along the way. But, I also learnt several valuable lessons and will now approach future projects armed with additional knowledge. Despite his flaws, I still think that this crocheted gingerbread man turned out adorable and I did quite well. What’s even better, I completed it in just three evenings!

Learning to crochet was one of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2025. I thought it would be great to be able to turn a ball of yarn into any shape imaginable. Well, I’m still miles from being able to create my own patterns, but I’ve made good progress learning various types of stitches, and successfully completed about 10 small projects in the last few months. This time, I’d like to show you my latest creation – a cute hedgehog, which taught me how to add interesting texture to a crocheted piece. As usually, I got an assorted set in TK Maxx for a bargain price.

When I was still at the very beginning of my crocheting journey, I got carried away buying assorted DIY kits for simple crochet projects. I’m still far from being a crocheting pro, but I’ve learnt a lot since then and can finish simple projects in close to no time, without the need to look at tutorials. I’m still going through the stash of sets I bought a few months ago, and recently, I crocheted a simple watermelon keychain. And although it was a very basic project, it still taught me a lesson. Here’s some crochet inspiration, and a great candidate for a first crochet project!

Happy Halloween week! Today, I’m coming with my most recently completed crochet project – a cute ghost with a pink bowler hat. One of my New Year’s Resolutions for 2025 was to learn to crochet, and I think it’s going well. I bought an assorted DIY set with the pattern and all supplies, so it’s not my original design. But, if you’re a seasoned crocheter, I’m sure you can still take inspiration from this design. It definitely put my beginner skills to test, but overall, I think it was a success!
