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.

The Weekend Waffle Shawl ($6) by Brianna Mason is a cozy accessory for cold winter months. Choose a scarf, shawl, or wrap; perfect for you and your style.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF! THE MOSAIC CROCHET JUMPER
When the gloom of winter comes upon us, cheer yourself up with all the colors used in the Mosaic Jumper ($12.75) designed by Nomad Stitches. You can use up stash or select 9 colors of a Sport weight yarn (single) or 18 colors of a Fingering weight yarn (doubled). This is a good class to experiment with and get creative with color. We are giving you lots of time to meet and work on your sweater as the semester progresses. You will learn the skills for a seamless, top-down yoke sweater with short rows, and mosaic stitches. Choose a cropped or full-length style. This sweater is size inclusive with finished measurements of 33 to 64 inches. It is recommended that you already have crocheted a sweater or crocheted mosaic stitches before but not required. By Rebecca Cook.
