Quick Ribbed Hat Pattern

What Makes a Quick Crochet Project?

I love projects that are quick and easy to make. So a quick crochet project is one that is small, has easy stitches and an uncomplicated pattern.

One of my favorite stitches to uses for quick crochet patterns is the double crochet stitch. This basic stitch is easy to do and does not take up a lot of yarn.

When you use the stitch and a variation like front or back post, the pattern is interesting but works up quickly.

A quick crochet project is typically one that uses bulky or chunky yarn and large hooks. The projects also tend to have relatively simple stitches and shapes.

This combination of factors makes them quick and easy to work up. Perfect for when you need a last-minute gift or just want to treat yourself to a new project!

Want your project to go faster? Choose bulky or super bulky yarn for your project. Use self striping, variegated or solid yarn as the main color with no changes.

1. Simple Double Thick Potholder

This double thick potholder is one of the first things I learned to make. You just use single crochet stitches and go around and around until it meets to form a square.
