So, you know how to make a chain and you have some experience making squares but you're unsure what to learn next. Colorwork! Colorwork is the easiest way to make an everyday project into something fun and unique. 

This class will begin with an introduction to basic color changing techniques. Then, we will move on to more advanced techniques that allow us to make shapes, like checks or squares, in our work. 

My class sizes are always small so that each student has a chance to ask questions and get the support they need. I do have private lessons available for students who need more one-on-one time.

Learning Goals

1. Learn to change yarn colors precisely.

2. Learn to 'carry' yarn while crocheting.

Other Details

Parental Guidance

Please speak to your student about how to use scissors safely. You know your learner best. If they need more guidance while using scissors, please be nearby to assist them. Thanks!

Pre-Requisites

Students who enroll in this class should already know how to make a chain, make a single crochet stitch, and make a square. (I have other classes that teach these skills so you can always come back to this class!)

Supply List

Materials we will need in class:
1. Yarn, 2 colors of your choice:  I advise against using overly furry or fluffy yarns for beginners as the fluff hides the stitches. 

2. Crochet hook: Your yarn label will suggest a good hook size to purchase

3. Scissors 

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
