32 Crochet Ideas for Aran or Worsted Weight Yarn
Do you have a bunch of medium yarn, aran or worsted weight, that you just don’t know what to do with? You’re in the right place. I’m going to start by sharing some general inspiration for bags, clothes and accessories, slide into some really beginner friendly amigurumi patterns and then finish off with some slightly more detailed, intermediate and advanced crochet toy designs.
Bags
Medium weight yarn is absolutely perfect for crocheting bags with, and it’s my go-to thickness for this type of project. I highly recommend a cotton or cotton blend too, for the perfect practical finish with just the right amount of strength.
Clothes and Accessories
I don’t crochet clothes as much as I’d like to, but some of my favorite accessories have been made with aran weight yarn. I also tend to favor it for interior projects like cushions or throw pillows. You’ve got a bit more freedom with fibers for these type of projects too.
Beginner Friendly Amigurumi
These plush patterns are specially designed to be simple and fast to hook up, but have a bold and colorful finish. And medium yarns work really well for all of them.
Crochet Toy Patterns
My more detailed amigurumi patterns are where the heart of my interest in crochet really lies. These are some of my designs which make use of aran weight yarn.
