Textured stitches: post stitches (cables), popcorns, and bobbles

Advanced techniques: chainless foundation stitches and no-turning-chain dc and tr 

Do you get frustrated with your foundation chains being too long or short? Learn to create the foundation chain with your first row and it will never happen again! Do your turning chains create a whole in your fabric? Learn a new stitch that eliminates turning chains and looks just like a double or treble crochet stitch. These techniques will transform the way you crochet and give your items a professional look. You must be proficient in basic crochet (i.e., feel confident in your crochet abilities) with a good understanding of how stitches are made in order to take this class. *
