Does your learner want to learn to crochet and express their creativity in a new way? Join me for these fun and engaging one on one lessons, where beginner crocheters will learn the basic crochet stitches. Learners will be introduced to the chain, slip stitch, single crochet, and double crochet stitches. As we progress in our lessons together, we will start combining these beginner-level stitches to make more complex patterns. 

I have been crocheting for over 30 years! My mother taught me how to crochet when I was 8 years old, and I've never stopped. Crocheting is a wonderful way to release stress and anxiety, while being creative at the same time. 

👉🏼This private lesson is perfect for the learner who is learning to crochet, and wants focused instruction tailor made to meet their needs.

👉🏼I will meet your learner where they are on their crochet journey, and we will work together to build their skills and confidence.

CLASS CONTENT: 

I believe that the best way to learn to crochet is to practice your stitches by making different crocheted creations. In this class, learners will choose from this list of projects ONLY. These crochet projects are listed in order of difficulty, from easiest to more challenging. 

⭐️ Basic foundation stitches (chain, single crochet)*
⭐️ Scarf (chain, single crochet)
⭐️ Dishcloth (chain, single crochet)
⭐️ Hair scrunchie (chain, single crochet)
⭐️ Bag (chain, double crochet)
⭐️ Moss stitch dishcloth (chain, single crochet alternating)
⭐️ Coaster (magic ring, single crochet, stitch increases)
⭐️ Coaster 2 (magic ring, double crochet, stitch increases)

* If your learner is brand new to crocheting, I recommend starting with the basic foundation stitches to provide a strong start to their crochet journey. 


🔴PLEASE NOTE 🔴

❗️It will be up to the parent to communicate ahead of time what crochet project your learner is interested in, and if your learner has some background knowledge in crochet!
