80+ Small Crochet Projects (2024)

Small Crochet Projects

If you are looking for free patterns for small crochet projects, you have come to the right place! I’ve rounded up some of the very best small and quick crochet patterns out there.

While crocheting a large project can be very rewarding, sometimes you need some instant gratification. That’s when I like to to start and finish a crochet project in a short period of time.

Small crochet projects are great to make as gifts or just to try out new patterns and techniques. Small crochet patterns can also be great for craft shows as you can make a high volume of an item quite quickly.

Useful Small Crochet Projects

Some examples of small crochet projects are dishcloths, bookmarks, coasters, cozies and scrubbies. There are lots of patterns for each of these items included below. The best part about making these small things to crochet is that they are all very useful small crochet projects.

For example, this Lumberjack Crochet Can Cozy is an excellent small project and it makes a very unique gift that will be loved and actually used.

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.
