In this class for beginners, you will learn foundations of crochet including tension and hand positioning, base chain stitches, building on stitches, all working towards making a square. After learning the basics we’ll get started on a project, making a small bag if time allows. You’ll leave with the skills needed to make everything from earrings, coasters, and pillows, to hats and scarves, tops and pants, bags and plant hangers, and many more.
