Skill Building and Project Crochet

The classes listed below are suitable for stitchers who have been actively crocheting and would like to expand their technical skills. If you know how crochet, but it has been a few years since you picked hook and yarn, please take the Introduction to Crochet class first.

PRAIRIE MARKET FLOWER BAG

We love this adorable summer bag with its diamond lace and shell stitch lace motifs. It looks like a complicated pattern, but we rate it at an intermediate level. The stitches are easily memorized as you repeat them throughout the bag. You will use fingering weight yarn like Cascade Cotton Sox or our organic Ad Astra cotton. By Rebecca Cook.
