Crochet: the beginnings and more
So many patterns suggest a crocheted edge as part of finishing the project, but you never mastered crochet. This class will cover crochet basics; stitches, gauge, etc. We'll discuss how to read crochet patterns and how to use some easy crochet methods for finishing knitted items.
Bring a crochet hook with you, a size G, H or I is preferred or you can purchase one at Dancing Leaf Farm
