2 new Beginning Crochet classes starting in February!


Harlan County is going crazy for Crochet! The response has been phenomenal so two new Beginning Crochet class series are being offered in February.


Beginning Crochet 
~ The Basics ~


SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1 or WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12
Session 1: FOUNDATION CHAIN and SINGLE CROCHET STITCH. We will also cover ways to hold the yarn and crochet hook, making a slip knot, and how to read a pattern. 

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8 or WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19
Session 2: HALF DOUBLE STITCH and DOUBLE STITCH. We will also cover an alternative way to make a foundation row than was taught in session 1 and a simple edging technique.

Session 3: TREBLE STITCH, SLIP STITCH, and WORKING IN THE ROUND (Granny Square). We will also cover a third way to make a foundation row than was taught in sessions 1 and 2, finding the right gauge for a pattern, and understanding yarn types and weights. The students will choose a project to work on in the next session.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22 or WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5
Session 4: READING A STITCH DIAGRAM, CHANGING COLOR, and FINISHING OFF. Students will work on their selected project with the instructor. I have many suggestions for a beginner project on my Facebook page.
