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.

MY FIRST TUNISIAN CROCHET-Lamia Wrap

The cozy Lamia Shawl pattern ($7.50) designed by Toni Lipsey uses a worsted/heavy worsted weight yarn to show off alternating Tunisian stitches. Start small at the bottom corner and see how quickly you progress with this triangular shawl pattern.

CROCHET SHORT ROWS-Hope Eternal Scarf

Do you love the small scarves that are trending but only see knit options? The Hope Eternal Scarf ($6.20) designed by Liudmyla Hefny has the look of knitting with the ease of crochet. We will learn to identify back and front loops of the stitch, how to work a slip stitch, a yarn-over slip stitch, half-double crochet, and an extended half-double crochet. Be prepared to learn some stitch modifications that create the design and form short rows. We will start by learning how to make the stitches with a swatch and then move onto the scarf. This class is best for confident crocheters ready to learn a more complex technique. By Rebecca Cook.
