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

My First Crochet Vest

The Happy Granny Vest ($7) by Lonneke Stoop is a great layering piece for your wardrobe. Crocheted top down using the granny stitch, this vest is perfect for an adventurous beginner. The pattern calls for a DK weight yarn. It would be very sharp in Jill Draper's Kingston tweed yarn. The pattern is size inclusive covering finished measurements of 30 to 65." By Rebecca Cook.
