This five-part series of classes will take you from complete beginner to confident crocheter. You will learn foundational concepts and skills by crocheting a series of coasters using different techniques in progressing difficulty. We will then finish the class by crocheting a hat as our final project. By the end of the class you will have a strong understanding of foundational concepts and the skills to complete many beginner and beginner+ level crochet patterns.
In this class, you will learn:
--three or four foundational crochet stitches
--how to read a pattern
--how to begin your crochet project
--yarn 101
--how to change yarn
--how to bind off
--how to end your project and give it a professional finish
--all about gauge and how to make projects that will fit
Why learn with us?
--Small Class Sizes: Our crochet and knitting classes are capped at 4 students, so every learner gets individual attention and help.
--Professionally Designed Curriculum: Our curriculum has been designed for complete beginners by an instructional designer and crocheter to give you the knowledge and skills you need to be successful on your crochet journey.
--Encouraging Community: We really care about your success, and we strive to create the best learning environment we can for our learners. This is a low-pressure, fun, encouraging place to learn. No need for perfection - just bring your willingness to learn.
--Supplemental Learning: You will receive a handout at every class that has the pattern we covered in class, supplemental pattern recommendations for additional practice, and a link to video playlists that show the skills we covered that lesson - so you won’t get lost after you go home!
Homework: Homework will be required every week to develop your skills. Please be aware that completing your homework is a crucial part of your learning in this class. If you don’t have the time to complete 1-2 hours of crochet per week outside of class, we recommend waiting to take this class until you have the time.

You may purchase your own materials, or we can provide them for you in a kit for a $10 fee. If you’d like to purchase the kit from us, you may pay for the kit at the first class session. Additional materials will be required to complete your hat.
