Knitting, like any new hobby, can be a little overwhelming when you're just starting out. But, just because you're a beginner who's still learning how to knit, (let me help you with my 2 day FREE Learn to Knit course)it doesn't mean you can't create beautiful knit accessories – things like blankets, toys, bags, pillows and more.

To get you started on some gorgeous but simple projects, we've found the 20 easy knitting projects that every beginner can handle.

Now your biggest decision is deciding which one of these knitting projects you'll start first.

Want to spice up any of these patterns? You can customize any of these patterns with some new Knit Stitches. I have 50 Knit Stitches in my video class library. Get access to all 50 for 2 days here.

Bitty Baby Booties

We can't get enough of these adorable little knit booties. These booties are fit for 0-3 months size although they have such a nice amount of stretch depending on the baby, they could fit for longer.

Finger Knit Rope Trivet

We love this trivet’s simplicity and natural feel that the rope lends to this project. The best part is that you can make the trivet in a jiffy, under a half an hour, with only rope and tape (to keep the rope from fraying)!
