New here? Welcome, You’re in the right place!
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure where to start, or like crochet looks easier for everyone else… you’re in the right place.
At Mouse & Sparrow, I love helping you make things you’re proud of.
1. Start with one small, confidence-building win
If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure where to begin, start with this — a free beginner-friendly project you can actually finish.
My free Classic Granny Square pattern is designed especially for beginners.
It walks you through each step so you can relax, follow along, and finish something without second-guessing yourself.
2. What you’ll find next
Once you’ve made your first square, you can take things at your own pace.
Here you’ll find:
Fun Projects — beginner-friendly things you can finish
Learn the how-to — tutorials for stitches and common challenges.
Go further with support — my Basket mini course if you want guided help.
There’s no “right” path — just the next step that feels good to you.
3. Want everything clearly laid out?
If you already know you’d like a fully guided project with video support, you can jump straight to my beginner crochet basket mini course.
