Description
Class Experience
I learned to crochet in my middle school home economics class and I've been "hooked" ever since. *pun intended* :D I just did the math and that means that I have been crocheting for 20 years now. Wow! Crochet is a wonderful hobby to make something creative but also useful. I have made many items such as washcloths, shawls, scarves, stuffed toys, and blankets. Over the years, I have learned that blankets are my absolute favorite item to make. There is a crocheted blanket on every bed in my home...and on every sofa...and some are stored... I am the type of person that can not just sit and not have my hands be busy. Crochet is the perfect hobby to do while watching your favorite show for the 346th time. My hope for the crochet classes is to spark that love of crochet for every student that comes into the classroom. I hope to see you soon!
Week One: Practice the magic ring and 2-Chain method. Complete the shell. Week Two: Make sure that all the legs are completed. Week Three: Complete the head and the tail.
Three colors of yarn. I recommend yarns like Red Heart Super Saver, Caron One Pound, or Big Twist. Crochet Hook (It's best to have a variety of smaller sizes to do amigurumi crochet. I suggest a 2, 2.5, or 3MM crochet hook.) Scissors Tapestry Needle: they come in a variety of sizes. Just be sure that your yarn can go through the eye of the needle. Stitch Markers: Extra strips of yarn or bobby pins work fine if you do not have these. Poly-fill/Stuffing Safety Eyes (Optional) A PDF file of this pattern will be posted to the classroom after the first class.
Crochet is a craft that takes practice over a long period of time. As you continue to crochet and make more and more projects, you will notice a different in your stitches and your technique. Practice makes progress...not perfection. There's so such thing as perfection!
30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Students WILL need to use scissors and tapestry needles in this class. **Please note that the you will continue to work on the same project each week, so keep it stored in a safe place when you are not working on it.** **Safety eyes are only suitable for children aged 3 years and older. Please be aware of this in case there are younger siblings in the house. Safety eyes are completely optional as the amigurumi's eyes, nose, and mouth can be stitched on with a tapestry needle.** **If your student misses one of the weeks, the video of the class will be available for him/her to watch. A 50% refund for that particular lesson will be given if I am made aware before the class time.**
