Did you for some reason or another just stopped crocheting? Maybe life just caught up with you and the hook just had to take a backseat. Or, maybe you’ve taken ill and just can’t physically take on any projects. Whatever reason it might have been, starting a crochet project might be a little scary for some – which is why starting off with quick crochet projects is the best way to go.

You’ll want to restart your crochet journey with something that won’t overwhelm and instead encourage you to create more.

These easy crochet projects are perfect for those who want to get reacquainted with crocheting but don’t want to be burdened with a huge or difficult crochet project. If you're just getting back to crocheting, I highly recommend checking out the Crochet Fundamentals class that will help you to gain your confidence back.
