1-2 hours per week. Practice is so important for building your speed and improving your skills. I've been doing this for many years and practice still helps me to improve. :) So practice, practice, practice if you want to master your skills.Class Experience
In this class students will complete a crocheted amigurumi flower with a smile and eyes using four basic crochet stitches. This is a great project for advanced beginners that already have good basic crochet skills. ***Students should know how to make a magic ring and be very proficient at doing single and double crochet stitches.*** Students will: 1. Make a "magic ring" 2. Crochet 2 flat circles working in the round 3. Add facial details to one of the circles, attach them together, and stuff the center of the circles 4. Join a second color of yarn and make flower petals 5. Practice four crochet stitches, including the chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet and slip stitch 6. Students will complete one amigurumi flower For this fun project I will demonstrate each step clearly as we create 2 small flat circles, add facial details, crochet the circles together and add petals after stuffing the flower lightly. Learners in this class should be familiar with working in the round with single crochets and increases. I will continue demonstrating each step, stopping regularly to check on the progress of each student. Everyone will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive individual assistance. I love to crochet and this is one of my very favorite projects! I can't wait to see you in class and make this cute flower with you. :) My teaching style is relaxed and patient. I want everyone to feel welcome and have fun in my classes. All learners are encouraged to converse, ask questions and express themselves. Please note: This class is not a beginner class. If students do not have the skills mentioned in the description, I will not have time to teach basic skills in this class. But I do have several classes to teach basic skills! Please see my profile or contact me to learn more. If the times listed for this class are not suitable, please let me know. I can probably change it to a better time. Please contact me if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help!

🌸 Hello! It’s so nice to meet you. I’m currently teaching the wonderful craft of crochet here on Outschool. I’ve been crocheting since I was a little girl and I still get excited about every new project I start! What makes me even happier is to see the excitement on the faces of learners when they learn to crochet themselves.
🌸I recently completed my B.A. degree in Clerical Education and I am a certified ESL teacher with a 120 hour TESOL Certificate. I’ve been a reading tutor and have taught English to many children. I've also been enrolled for many years in a training program that includes volunteering to teach people of all ages.
🌸 When my grown children were young, I enjoyed home-schooling them for part of their education. I fully support the idea of home-schooling and the appreciate the dedication of families who are able to do it.
🌸 I love crochet, crafts, sewing, cooking and organic gardening ...anything creative.
🌸 My philosophy when teaching children is to encourage and support them as much as possible, while being sure to patiently and kindly correct them when they make mistakes. I feel that there are no mistakes in my class....only opportunities to learn. I am a fan of alternative learning philosophies that allow for learners to explore their interests, learn progressively at their own level, include plenty of physical activity, and other ideas that seem to be absent in the typical classroom.
🌸 I was very shy when I was little, so I understand when students need time to warm up to new people.
🌸 I have some experience working with people with disabilities, such as autism. They have a special place in my heart along with elderly people.
🌸 My husband and I have 12 lovely backyard chickens that we enjoy taking care of. We always feed the squirrels in our back yard (along with stray cats and birds too!) and the squirrels sometimes tap on the glass door to ask for peanuts.
🌸 I’m excited to be a part of the Outschool community and I can’t wait to meet you!Reviews
