Grades Offered
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.
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
Crochet involves the use of a blunt yarn needle and sharp scissors. By signing their learners up for this class guardians are giving their approval for their learners to use these items for this class.
