2-4 hours per week. In order for learners to make a granny square bag in lesson 6, using the joining techniques they will learn in a video tutorial, learners are expected to make 4 of each of the granny squares they make in lessons 1, 3, and 4 of this course, and 2 of the granny square they make in lesson 2. This will give them lots of practice, and let them finish the course with their very own crocheted creation! If they want extra practice with granny squares, they can make 12 smaller granny squares in their favourite pattern for the handle on their bag. I demonstrate this in the tutorial videos in lesson 6. Each granny square typically takes about 30 minutes to make, depending on the difficulty of the pattern and the skill level of the crocheter.Assessment
Learners are expected to follow the detailed patterns in the video tutorial to create their granny squares for each lesson. They are also expected to post a photo of their completed granny squares to the class page for each lesson. I will respond to each class post with my feedback. I will respond to all messages and class posts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.Class Experience

You will learn about crochet pattern abbreviations, how to change colours in a granny square, the treble crochet stitch, and the standing double crochet stitch. In the final lesson, you will learn blocking techniques, and how to join your squares together to make a bag! This course is intended for upper-beginner level learners. Learners should already know the chain, single crochet, double crochet, and slip stitches before enrolling in this course. 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. ------------------ C O U R S E C O N T E N T : For each lesson, learners will… 👉 Watch the tutorial video that gives detailed instructions on how to make your granny square.* 👉 Consult the written patterns for more help while making your granny squares. 👉 Follow the instructions in the video to make your own granny square (lessons 1-5), or assemble their bag. 🛍 (lesson 6) 👉 Post a photo of their completed granny square (lessons 1-5) or their completed bag. 🛍(lesson 6) * NOTE: Each video tutorial includes written instructions, video clips, and voiceovers.
