I need a really simple pattern..

[Purple*Lotus]

I crochet, but all I can make are squares and rectangles. Every time I search for a pattern I either can't figure out the abbreviations or it makes no sense. Can someone point me in the direction of the easiest crochet pattern ever, so I can practice on it?

How about a BICO?? http://www.crochetme.com/node/110/print

Only 2 stitches to know: half double crochet and single crochet. Plus it's super quick and cute.

I second the BICO suggestion. They're so cute and super-easy. Plus, they work up so fast that it's almost instant gratification!

Um... That BICO isn't as easy as it looks, esp. the sleeves! : Why don't you try a simple amigurumi or some juggling balls.

has patterns for both, and more.
