Websites and blogs with free and paid patterns will be shared so you can find the perfect pattern or just some inspiration. Join me on this colorful yarn journey and learn the lifelong skill of crocheting. 

***I am a right-handed crocheter so some left-handed students might find it difficult to follow along since they will be working in the opposite direction.

Learning Goals
