Does your upper-beginner level crocheter want to expand their crochet skills and explore the exciting world of granny squares? Join me for this fun and engaging 6-lesson self-paced course where learners ages 8-12 will learn to make 5 different granny square patterns. 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.
