Learning to crochet is easier than you think! These simple building blocks will allow you to crochet basic projects like scarves, washcloths, blankets, and more. What's more - the skills you learn in this foundational course will provide a solid starting point for advancing your crochet abilities, allowing you to progress to more complicated stitches and patterns with ease. What differentiates this course from others? I am certified to teach crochet via the Craft Yarn Council.I use slow, deliberate videos with close-up views of my hands in order to demonstrate the concepts I'm teaching. I don't assume you know anything about crocheting or handling yarn, so I break down every step so it's easy to understand, even for complete beginners. I pair each video demonstration with a written document explaining what you've learned, as well as the written pattern and diagram information for each stitch.I also offer online one-on-one lessons via Zoom. If you get stuck, you can book a lesson with me and we'll work through it.After taking this course, you will be able to:Make a slip knot (I demonstrate three different methods)Crochet a chain to start your projectRecognize and create single, double, half-double, and treble crochet stitchesRead crochet patterns and diagrams that use shorthand and symbols for each of these stitchesTie off your work when you finish crocheting a projectSew your yarn ends into your project so they can't be seen
