In this 3-hour class, Paulina will introduce you to the art of crocheting by making classic granny squares.
Why granny squares? For starters they’re fun to make and a recent fashion trend. But more importantly, they’re a perfect beginner’s crochet project. No granny-level experience necessary! Or any previous crocheting experience for that matter.
The process of making granny squares:
- is quite repetitive, meaning you’ll get lots of practice and the opportunity to get really good rather quickly.
- requires learning only 3 fundamental crochet stitches, including the chain stitch (ch), the double crochet (dc), and the slip stitch (sl st).
- allows you to insert new stitches into “spaces” rather than other stitches, making it beginner’s friendly.
- gives you endless possibilities to express your creativity by combining colors or arranging your finished squares into projects ranging from coasters to purses, to sweaters, to giant blankets.
Your workshop ticket includes:
- All basic crochet supplies including a set of crochet hooks, a selection of yard, and stitch markers
- 3 hours of hands-on instruction in a small group
- Printed beginner’s friendly granny square pattern, yours to keep.
- Tea and cookies!
This class is suitable for adults and teenagers. Space is limited to 4 people.
All workshop participants will receive 10% off any retail purchases made on the day of the class.
