Description

Geared toward beginners or as a crochet refresher, this two-part class will cover the slip knot, chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, and turning chains.

Once you’ve got the hang of those, we’ll add a little magic to create playful fan-shaped granny stitches.

After a few simple stripes, your thoughts will already be wandering to your stash, making plans for a colorful granny-striped blanket.

But wait! There’s more!

You’ll be introduced to an easy beginning and a slip-stitch join, and then Bob’s yer uncle and the world’s your oyster, because NOW you can make granny SQUARES till the cows come home.

Tips and tricks will be included for choosing yarn, hook, and colors, for keeping your place, and for preventing a “crooked” square (nobody likes a crooked granny).

You’ll be hooked!
