This will be a class for total beginners (Ages 8 and up) to advanced beginners, but any level of ability is welcome to join us. I will teach all about materials needed, how to read patterns, the basic crochet stitches for beginners, and more advanced techniques and stitches for more advanced students. My goal is for all kids to have a completed project they can give away (or keep) for Thanksgiving and Christmas and to know the basics of crochet.

For the first class just bring whatever yarn and/or hooks you already have. If you don’t have any I will have extras and plenty of yarn to play with. If you’d like to get a head start you can purchase this crochet hook set on amazon:

Susan Bates Silvalume Crochet Hook Set in Pouch Sizes F, G, H, I, J, K https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XZYISM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_BRD9VD929C4CB33JSB8N?psc=1

It’s also usually at Walmart for a dollar less. Or you can buy a size 5.5 mm crochet hook of your choice, but I recommend Susan bates because it’s an easier shape for a beginner.

If you’d like to buy yarn I recommend any worsted weight yarn (it will have a symbol on the back that looks like a ball of yarn with a 4 on it) like Red Heart Super Saver or Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn, in any color.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
