Twenty-two patterns that use a small number of stitches and do not punish a wobbly tension. If you can chain, single crochet and work a magic ring, you can make most of what is here.
A sensible order: start with a flower coaster to get comfortable working in the round, move to the honey bee for your first stuffed toy, then a basket or a bag where the piece is bigger but the stitches are the same. Both of those are free.
Three guides worth reading alongside: how to crochet a magic ring, gauge explained, and US vs UK crochet terms. That last one solves the single most common reason a pattern suddenly stops making sense.
