Beginner Level
This class is all about the foundations of crochet. Crochet can be a very calming and confidence boosting hobby. Let’s learn together! We will begin our lesson by learning important vocabulary words as well as a brief overview of pairing yarn with appropriate hooks. I will repeat movements and instructions as many times as needed for your student’s success. We will focus on the chain stitch in this class as it is aimed at complete beginners. If you've already mastered a chain, check out my other crochet classes. (Be sure to check out the 4 week version of this class that I offer as well!)
Learning Goals
Our learning goals together are to complete the following actions:
Hold yarn correctly
Slip knot
Chain
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
This is for complete beginners! All are welcome.
Supply List
1. Yarn -(choose ONE ball of yarn) size 5 or size 6. These sizes are also called bulky (5) and super bulky (6). 2. A crochet hook that corresponds to your chosen yarn (I will include a video about this) 3. Scissors **The yarn I use in class is Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick (this is a size 6 super bulky yarn). I use a big hook with this. Usually size 9mm, 10mm, or 11mm.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
For my group classes, I sometimes offer videos that I recorded for my students to be able to practice outside of class without having to watch the entire 50 minute class back. I link these videos in the Outschool Classroom page after the lesson ends.
These videos are accessed through Google Drive as Outschool currently cannot upload them directly in the classroom.

Teacher expertise and credentials
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!
