This 4 lesson Self Paced course will teach your learner how to make their own crocheted stuffed toys! This fun class starts with the basics & then encourages students to build on that with their own ideas. This is a SELF PACED class - which means there are NO LIVE CLASSES. Instructional videos will be posted for your learner to watch and crochet along to, as well as optional classroom discussion. Students will be expected to also post photos of the work they have completed. The more your learner participates the more value they will get from this class! Students will be expected to already know single & slip crochet stitches, as well as how to weave in yarn ends & sew pieces together. If students are new to crochet they should take my beginner level class first: https://outschool.com/classes/beginning-learn-how-to-crochet-tweens-NkfcaKGZ NOTE: Learners should have the dexterity to use a crochet hook & yarn without assistance. There is also a decent amount of counting involved. If a student struggles with counting I recommend buying a stitch/row counter, which will help them keep track. Learners will be expected to purchase supplies & tools that they will use to complete class projects. Please see the attached Syllabus for details on each Lesson. I want this to be a fun activity, & encourage my students to ask questions and share both their successes and struggles so we can all support each other & learn from one another. Supply List: Learners will be expected to have yarn & a crochet hook before the start of the first class. * your yarn can be any color you like; I recommend something that is not fuzzy or loose in texture for learning on; you will likely need at least a couple of colors throughout your projects in this class * your crochet hook should be the size listed on your yarn label, or a size smaller (it is recommended to have several hook sizes) * sharp scissors for cutting the yarn * a blunt yarn or tapestry needle * at least a small amount of black yarn for adding things like mouths & other details to your toys * plastic safety eyes in a few sizes for adding faces to your toys (these can usually be found in variety packs) * stitch markers
