Intermediate Crochet: Begin Your First Project * In-Person* *NEW*

In this intermediate crochet class, we will venture to complete your first crochet project! This class is ideal for students who have completed Intro to Crochet or know the basics of crochet. Students are invited to come to class with a selected crochet pattern, and the instructor will guide students through the steps of making the pattern. We will learn about gauge, garment construction, and stitch patterns. Bring a pattern of your choosing, crochet hooks, stitch markers, and enough yarn to complete your project to the first class. If you have questions on patterns and yarn amounts, bring your inquiries to the first class and we will walk through them together! Basic patterns to make a hat and tote bag will be offered. Instructor: Olivia Hochstadt
