Crocheting 101 with Shelby

Description: In this three-week course, you will learn the basics of crocheting, including:

• Making a slip knot and chaining
  
• Single crochet, worked flat
• Double crochet, triple crochet, and half-double crochet, worked flat
  
• Common crocheting errors
• Ribbing
  
• Weaving in ends

This class is accessible for right-handed and left-handed students and is a great fit for those who have never taken a crocheting course or need a refresher. The first class will cover making a slip knot, chaining, and single crochet, worked flat. The second class will teach you more foundational stitches including double crochet, triple crochet, and half-double crochet. We will also discuss common mistakes new crocheters make. The third class will be more open to allow you to practice your skills and include instructions for ribbing and other stitches of interest, and invisibly weaving in your ends.
