In this workshop\, participants will learn the essential stitches that form the foundation of Italian crochet while creating classic quadratini della nonna (granny squares)\, a beloved motif traditionally shared among mothers\, grandmothers\, and neighbors.\n\nInspired by Trivento\, the small village in Molise celebrated as the “world’s capital of crochet\,” this program honors the enduring importance of handmade traditions in an increasingly fast-paced world. By slowing down and stitching with intention\, participants are invited to connect with Italian language\, heritage\, and community—helping to preserve a living craft that embodies patience\, memory\, and care\, one little hook (uncinetto) at a time.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!
