Students will learn how to crochet in this beginners' class. Crocheting is not only a fabulous life-long hobby, but it is also a great way to express yourself with your own creations! Imagine wearing a one-of-a kind hat or scarf that you crocheted yourself! Each week, students will learn a new stitch or stitch group and learners will progress at their own rate. This class is structured as a workshop, where students will learn a new stitch or stitches and practice during class. Mrs. Borton will demonstrate each stitch and then help each student to learn the new stitches. The class will be completely hands-on. Week 1 - Students will learn how to make a slip knot. Students will learn to do the chain stitch and start the single crochet stitch. Week 2 - Students will learn how to do the single crochet stitch. Week 3 - Students will learn how to do the double crochet stitch. Week 4 - Students will learn how to do the half double crochet stitch. Week 5 - Students will learn how to do the treble crochet stitch. Week 6 - Students will learn how to read a crochet pattern to combine the stitches we learned in class. Since this is a beginners' class, no prior knowledge of crocheting is needed. Learners will start crocheting on day one! ***Please note*** Students will progress at their own rate in class. Some students will learn all the stitches and some students will want to keep practicing the basic stitches. ***Another note*** This class will be offered EVERY OTHER week. SUPPLIES: 1. One skein of yarn in a size 4. This can be of any fiber content, but acrylic, acrylic-wool blend, or wool will be the easiest to use. The yarn should be a smooth yarn, and not one that has a lot of bumps or loops. 2. A crochet hook in a size G (4 mm) or H (5 mm) 3. small pair of blunt scissors Other sizes of yarn and hooks may be used. In general, if you use a bigger yarn, use a bigger hook.
