Make wearable pieces like hats, scarves, wraps, and bags; home décor such as baskets, placemats, and blankets; stuffed toys; and decorative embellishments including flowers, ruffles, and trims. Beginners: Designed for true beginners, this class introduces the essential techniques needed to start crocheting with confidence.

During the final sessions, put your new skills into practice by completing a beginner-friendly project, such as a hat or basket. Please note: The class fee includes the supplies to get started. Once you decide on a project, you will need to purchase additional supplies specified by instructor ($10-$15). This class is paced for students new to crochet.
