Crochet: Beginners Stage 1
In this beginners' crochet class, you will learn the basic stitches needed to start you on your crochet journey. We will practice these by making small motifs which can be joined together to make a garland or used for brooches, hair clips, decorative appliqués. If time permits we will also learn a basic granny square.
