Learn to Crochet at Casa Belvedere
An 8-week program on Mondays, March 24 to May 12 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm
Fee is $225 member, $250 non-member
In the first four classes of this beginner-level series, you will learn how to comfortably hold a crochet hook and the yarn and learn the basic crochet stitches: chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, and double crochet. During classes 5 to 8, you will make something!
Once you have mastered all the stitches, there will be some discussion on what you would like to make, and provided with a suitable pattern.
Students should bring these required materials to each class:
- Susan Bates Crochet Hook – Size 5.00mm/8/H or Size 5.50mm/9/I
- A skein of yarn to accommodate your crochet hook, size H or I. You can get worsted weight, DK weight or sports weight yarn. Instructor’s favorite is Caron Simply Soft, but use what you like, just keep it a simple yarn. Please note that dark colors and speckled yarns are difficult for beginners. Some other brands to start with are Red Heart Super Saver, Caron One Pound, Caron Simply Soft or Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice)
- Regular scissors or embroidery scissors
- Plastic or steel sewing needle for weaving in ends.
