✨ Learn to Crochet – Beginner Friendly! ✨
Have you always wanted to learn how to crochet but weren’t sure where to start? Crochet 101 is designed for absolute beginners, so no previous crochet experience is needed!
We’ll take things slow and work through the basics step-by-step, giving you time to practice and get comfortable working with your hook and yarn.
This is a learning class first, rather than a project-based workshop. The goal is to help you understand the fundamentals and leave with the skills and supplies you need to continue practicing at home.
🧶 What You'll Learn
During class, we'll cover:
- The differences between crochet hooks and yarn types
- How to hold your hook and yarn
- How to make a slipknot
- How to create a chain
- How to work into your chain
- Single crochet
- Half double crochet
Depending on time and individual skill levels, we may practice additional stitches such as double crochet or begin a small project. Because everyone learns at a different pace, additional stitches or a finished project are not guaranteed. The focus is on making sure you feel comfortable with the basics!
🧶 What's Included
You'll receive a beginner crochet starter kit to use during class and take home with you, including:
- One 5mm crochet hook
- One 50g skein of yarn
- Stitch markers
- Large-eye yarn needle
- Access to our Crochet Club Facebook group with tutorials you can reference at home
Class is approximately 2 hours.
🖐️ Are You Right or Left Handed?
The instructor is right-handed and teaches crochet using right-handed techniques. If you are left-handed, please let us know when registering. We'll see if one of our left-handed makers may be available to assist so you can get the most out of the class.
📍 Location
Maxilyn House inside Maltworks
2224 Northwestern Ave, Suite #100
Racine, WI 53404
Come ready to learn, practice and probably unravel a few stitches along the way. That's all part of learning! 🧶🖤
