    So you have discovered that crocheting is an awesome hobby! It is gratifying, with its quick-to-make projects, and it is incredibly portable! It’s perfect for always having a project on the go.

    Crochet Ability: To be successful in this Intermediate class, you will need to be proficient with the following crochet stitches: chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, and double crochet. Please know that we will challenge ourselves and learn front and back post stitches and treble crochet as well.

    Material needed: Materials will be determined by you. If you need a suggestion, use Lion Brand Pound of Love; other brands are Red Heart Super Saver, Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft or Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice. The amounts will depend on what you want to make. A hook is needed; most of these yarns require a (J) hook. Sometimes we crochet loose or tight, so bring one needle larger (K) for tight crocheters and one needle small for loose workers (I). The instructor will supply a pattern for the first class.

    Materials required: Yarn; I, J, K crochet hooks; regular scissors or embroidery scissors; and plastic/steel sewing needle for weaving in ends.
