1 live meeting
55 mins in-class hours
Homework
1 hour per week. The student needs worsted weight yarn and one of either an I, J or K (5 to 6mm) crochet hook. If you choose a bigger yarn, please select a bigger crochet hook, such as an 8 to 10mm. Metal hooks tend to be easier to use for beginners, but be sure there are no burrs on them.

Class Experience

We will be learning how to start a crochet project with a slipknot and how to hold the yarn. Then we will learn the chain stitch, and slip stitch. When given the time to practice these two stitches, learners will naturally get better at keeping good tension, and making uniform stitches. which is a good base to create more complicated stitches. We will then make a pretty garland or flower, whichever the class decides!

If your student needs extra help, I am pleased to stay after class to assist them if time permits. Since this is a complete beginner class geared toward younger crocheters, some concepts will be repeated multiple times so that everyone gets a chance to try the new skills!

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to tie a slip knot and put it on the hook, how to hold the yarn, the chain stitch, and the slip stitch, and will have started a garland or flower project they can finish during or after class.

Other Details

Supply List
Worsted weight yarn
Crochet hook in size I, J, or K (5 to 6mm)
If you choose thicker yarn, such as "bulky" or "super bulky", you will need bigger hooks like M,N, or O (8 to 10mm). Keep in mind that it is difficult for young learners to work with a hook that is too small for the yarn they are working with.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a homeschooling mom, math and writing tutor, and STEM and crochet teacher. My teaching style is encouraging, engaging, and eclectic. I like to learn my student's interests and goals, then give them the tools to meet those goals using real-life examples from topics they love.

As a parent of a special needs child, I understand that not every student learns the same way, but each can be successful! My greatest joy is to help a student find their own power to learn, and in the process, discover the love of learning. :) 

I think we learn better together, and on Outschool we have the privilege of learning with people from all over the world! I am grateful to be a part of such a wonderful platform. 

Thank you for visiting, and I hope to see you in class!
