My patterns are sophisticated but not all of them require you to learn a lot new stuff - some are outright mindless. So, here’s a bundle of introductory patterns. No claim on completeness… First, all patterns from my ABC der Handarbeiten: Häkeln are introductory, as the book is an introduction to crochet. If you want to learn my horizontal cables, I recommend Elementary Mittens. Flying 60s is the easiest slip stitch mitt pattern I wrote. Twister is not much harder. Orangenhaut, Helen Mittens, Quaint and Blaues Wunder started out as mystery patterns, so they have extra-extensive photo tutorials, even if they introduce new techniques and stitches. Igel is a pretty easy shawl, using just one kind of slip stitch. Shift uses more stitches but no complicated techniques. Rainbow Cowl is straightforward, too, especially if you leave out the planned pooling, same for Afire Cowl. Scholar is easy, too. Into the Blue and Ringel Beanie are easy hats.
