I really want to try the Market Bag pattern on page 94! So I started with the Ashley Bottle holder, the smaller version, using yarn that's a size too big. Its quick to make. I do already know how to start with a magic circle, but these instructions are pretty good too.

Each project is a way to practice a new stitch, which is very helpful, since crochet can overwhelm the beginner with too many new stitches! Many of these projects are fast and small, which is also great for beginners!
