Others require you to know how to make simple color changes, increases and decreases and working into the back loops, making them for excellent patterns to build upon your beginner crochet skills.
It is the perfect collection of beginner crochet projects for the absolute beginner.

First, A Few Tips For Beginners
Choose a simple pattern with simple stitches and next to no shaping for your first projects. A crochet blanket, coaster or dishcloths are great options for your very first projects.
Also, take baby steps and stick with a solid color. Changing colors is not hard, but it can make this a little more stressful when you’re still trying to get the hang of the stitches, not to mention holding your yarn and hook. So my advice is to learn the basic crochet stitches and become one with your hook and yarn. Your projects can still come out just as nice in a solid color, if you ask me.
Another tip is that many crocheters find it easiest to learn with a worsted weight yarn. This yarn is not to bulky and not to thin either where it becomes like super awkward to hold onto.
Red Heart Super Saver is an awesome yarn for beginners to work with. It is not only comfortable in the hands, but it is easy to ravel if you make a mistake. And, it doesn’t get all funky on you, even after a few unravels, the yarn is still good to go, unlike many other yarns. Vanna’s Choice, Bernat Premium and any similar yarns are also a good choice for first-time crocheters.
Not only is the yarn easier to work with, but the hook size for a worsted weight is also easier to hold onto. A 5 or a 5.5 mm crochet hook is usually the easiest for many.
