Are you after the satisfaction of completing a whole crocheting project but find yourself limited in terms of either time, resources, or both? Then a small, simple crochet project could be just the venture for you. Here are five small but perfectly-formed crochet projects for you to try today.
One: Dishcloth
Simple, practical and useful, crocheting your own dishcloth will help to add a little home-spun joy to your chores. Try adding a loop so your dishcloth can be hung to dry and choose bright and bold yarns to give your kitchen a pop of colour.
Two: Amigurumi
For the ultimate small crochet project with an almost infinite number of possible patterns and designs, why not try amigurumi? The Japanese craft of crocheting cute little animals and other characters is becoming increasingly popular with crafters across the world and to make it easy there are hundreds of amigurumi crochet kits for you to explore.
Three: Christmas tree decorations
If you are looking for a project to keep you busy as the nights draw in, why not try making crocheted Christmas tree decorations? Online retailers such as https://www.woolcouturecompany.com have a range of festive crochet kits that are ideal for adding a touch of homemade magic to your festivities.
Four: Mini baskets
According to the BBC, approximately 92 million tonnes of textile waste is generated globally every year. Therefore, for the sake of the planet as well as your purse, it pays to use every last scrap of your craft supplies to avoid waste. Try creating a miniature storage basket out of a colourful assortment of the odds and ends from your yarn supply – you’ll be surprised by how effective this can look.
Five: Keyrings
Finally, for a truly compact crochet project, you can’t get much smaller than a keyring. Yet for such a small item, the range of designs is as endless as your imagination. Almost any diminutive crochet project can be turned into a keyring with just the simple addition of a metal split ring attached to your design with embroidery thread. Small, simple but oh so satisfying to create!
