Not only is it super satisfying to crochet something so quickly but then you can use it right away.

Quick Crochet Projects

There are two ways to define small – there is the actual size of the item (such as mini crochet projects) and there is the time it takes to complete the project. This collection of small crochet projects below includes both physically small crochet projects as well as quick crochet projects.

Quick crochet projects can take anywhere from 5 min – over an hour. The exact timing depends on your skill level and the complexity (and clarity) of the pattern you are following. Below you find lots of easy and quick crochet patterns (free) that are simple to follow.
