This class is for beginner crochet students who would like to practice reading a pattern and completing a project. We will focus on learning the half double crochet stitch, changing colors, reading a pattern, creating straight sides, and creating tassels. Skills needed to enroll in this class: You should be able to make a chain as well as create at least one type of crochet stitch. (If you have taken a class with me, you are prepared for this class.) If you would like to learn HOW to crochet, please check out my Introduction to Crochet classes. Week One: Begin pattern reading. We will begin to learn our new stitch while making something called a “gauge swatch”. Week Two: Continue pattern reading, learn to change colors, practice using stitch markers for straight sides. Week Three: Review pattern, correcting mistakes, time for support/questions. Week Four: How to bind off, make tassels, weave in ends.
Learning Goals
Half double crochet stitch, changing colors, using stitch markers, binding off, pattern reading, keeping edges straight, tassels, learn how hook size effects drape, learn about creating a gauge swatch.

Hello! My name is Brittany and I’m excited to help your child tap into their creative side. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art with a minor in Bookmaking. I have experience teaching adults and children of all ages in museum and summer camp settings. I also have 6 years of experience in online teaching.
I am a certified ACE educator here on Outschool which means that I have taken training to give your child the best possible learning experience in our virtual classroom. Whether we are crocheting, knitting, or making art, I want your child to have fun and feel confident in their abilities. I always want to prioritize the idea of adding “yet” when we feel overwhelmed. “I can’t do this…YET!”
I have two very serious studio assistants (cats) who like to see what we’re working on. I am also an avid reader, knitter, and crocheter. See you in class!Reviews
