I have to tell you, I'm a sucker for a gorgeous afghan. I have so many of them all over the house. They're great for decorating the backs of couches and chairs, for beds, or just for cozying up to when it's a bit cool outside. This one can be done in whatever color you want of course, but I really adore the off white look. It's also easy and you can finish this in about a week or so even if you're not working for more than just an hour or so a day.

Believe it or not, the ruffles aren't even that difficult, and this is a great bag for your first crochet project. The bag is just a bit larger than a clutch, so it's relatively small – perfect for holding lipstick, cell phone, and other essentials for a night on the town.

11 Crocheted Popsicle Snuggy

Crocheted Popsicle Snuggy
I really needed this pattern when my kids were younger. It's a snuggy to hold a popsicle and it's wonderful. Kids love popsicles, you know those thin ones in plastic, but they really do get very cold. These snuggies will keep your little one's hands from getting too cold and allow her to enjoy her popsicle at the same time. Messes aren't a problem either, because you can wash the snuggy when you need to. You could make several of these in a week, and it's the perfect project for summertime fun.

12 Handmade Crochet Trinket Boxes

Handmade Crochet Trinket Boxes
These trinket boxes are great for décor and for organizing. They're also great for giving out as Mother's Day gifts or for any special occasion. Use them on the dresser to hold rings or earrings and keep them in place. The pattern is really easy, and since the boxes are small, they won't take you long at all to make – even with the tiny lid. Note that the pattern only covers the box itself – you'll have to make the decorations separately if you want to decorate your box.

13 Shell Stitch Cowl Pattern

Shell Stitch Cowl Pattern
This cowl scarf is gorgeous no matter what color you choose to do it in. The shell stitch is really easy, even if you've never done it before, and it makes this scarf look really beautiful. You'll need a 6 mm crochet hook and worsted weight yarn. Four skeins of yarn make a 60 inch cowl, so you can alter the number of skeins you need based on how long or short you want the scarf. The overall workup is really easy though and you can probably finish this in just a few hours.

You won't believe how easy this adorable crocodile pixie hat and booties are to crochet. You'll definitely want to give these a go if you have a little one coming or if you know someone who is expecting. There are three sizes available; ranging from newborn to 24 months, so this one is great for mothers to be or new mothers. I love the vintage look of the hat, it has such a frontier bonnet appeal to it, and the booties are just too cute.

19 Cuffed Baby Booties

Cuffed Baby Booties
Speaking of baby booties, these cuffed booties are just entirely too adorable. The little buttons on the side really makes them stand out, and I love that you can do the cuffs in a contrasting color from the actual bootie. The pattern fits sizes six to twelve months, but if you know how, you could adjust it for smaller or larger sizes. There's also instructions on how to create the cute little flower for girls.
