Whether you are an absolute beginner or someone who once learned to crochet and have forgotten how, this class is for you! We start at the beginning, looking at tools and yarn. You will learn chain stitch, slip stitch, single, half double, and double crochet, increasing and decreasing, how to read patterns and diagrams. You will make a dishcloth, scarf, granny squares and a small stuffed animal. Required supply list: (Note: Occasionally classes are canceled due to low enrollment. Please wait to purchase supplies until 5 business days prior to the start of this class to ensure the class will be held.) Crochet hook, size H/8 (5mm) Scissors Stitch markers (not the ring-type, the type that clip closes like safety pins) A bag to carry your project material in (a shopping bag is fine) At least 2 ounces of worsted weight crochet cotton yarn (such as Sugar 'n Cream). This type of yarn has this symbol on the paper band that goes around it: You will need to purchase a couple of additional skeins of yarn and additional hooks in other sizes for projects as the class progresses, but it will be discussed in class. Stores frequently sell kits with a range of crochet hook sizes which may save you a bit on the cost of the individual hooks. If you find a kit that covers the size range from H through K, it would be a good investment.
