5 very easy crochet ideas!

The ABC Crafts Series: C is for...crochet

Welcome to another roundup in the ABC Craft Series. After two weeks on the letter B (the beading projects, and the baby projects), we are moving on to letter C!

In my opinion, crochet is a very relaxing hobby, but whenever I post about crochet on the blog there are always comments from people who say they wish they had learned to crochet but never did.

I may be biased, but I think crochet is much easier than it looks. So for this ABC of crafts post I wanted to show you some very simple crochet projects. Cute and useful items that even beginners can make and enjoy. And who knows, maybe I'll inspire people who never crocheted before to give it a try!

And finally, the Mandala Floor Rug. It's the most time consuming project of the lot, but while it may take you a little longer, it's still as easy as any of the others.

I hope you enjoyed this little collection of easy crochet projects. Next week I'll still be sticking to the letter C, to bring you some cool DIY candle ideas!

In case you missed the previous posts, the ABC Crafts series will be covering one (or more) crafts for each letter of the alphabet during 2016. Each roundup features 5 links, grouped around the major theme. All links posted will be DIY tutorials with clear instructions and/or free patterns, so that everyone can easily replicate them.

I've now created a specific page for the series, which will include links to the crafts already covered, and a list of upcoming topics. You can find the page here. If you have suggestions for any of the topics, feel free to leave me a comment or send me an e-mail and I will try to include your ideas as much as possible (with proper credit)!
