Crochet 102: Beyond the Very Basics with Elizabeth Durand (10/1/22 PM)

You’ve mastered the basic stitches—chain, single, half double, double—but you only know how to work back and forth in rows. This class will introduce you to the time-honored granny square (both single color and multicolor), the solid granny square, and, if time permits, the granny hexagon.

Supplies:

• 1 ball of a smooth worsted weight yarn in a light solid color
• Worsted weight yarn in at least 3 or 4 different colors (you don’t need a whole ball of any of these)
• Crochet hooks of assorted sizes that work with worsted weight yarns; recommended sizes are 6/G (4.0 mm), 7 (4.5 mm), 8/H (5.0 mm), and 9/I (5.5 mm)  removable stitch markers
• Standard knitter’s toolkit items: scissors, stitch markers, sewing-up needle with a blunt tip, tape measure, pencil, paper, etc.

Homework: 

• Practice your chain, double crochet, and half double crochet stitches so you remember how to do them before you come to class.
• If any of your yarns are in skeins that need to be wound into balls before you can work with them, please do that before class.

Skill Level:  Intermediate
