Duration: 2½ hours
Ages: 13+ (with basic crochet knowledge)
Led by: Becky Sher (@createatlocallycrafted)
It’s time to take your basic crochet knowledge and actually make something you can actually use! In this advanced beginner workshop, you’ll learn to crochet a bright and cheerful lemon-shaped coaster. You’ll practice crocheting in the round (instead of back and forth in rows), which is the foundation for many crochet projects, including the classic granny square.
Please note: This workshop is not for crafters who have never picked up a hook. You should be fairly comfortable with creating a slip knot, making chain stitches, and working single and double crochet stitches. You certainly don't need to be an expert, just a somewhat confident beginner. We will do a quick review of the basics, but this workshop is not for absolute beginners. Please watch for our introductory crochet workshops!
In this workshop, you’ll learn:
How to choose the right yarn for a project. We’ll use 100 percent cotton yarn so you can use your finished project as a coaster or trivet.
How to crochet in the round to create the lemon shape.
How to work a range of crochet stitches, including half-double crochet and triple crochet.
How to create a leaf and flower (and how to attach them) to embellish your project. (The flower is perfect for adding to all kinds of projects!)
How to block your coaster for a perfect finished project.
All materials will be provided.
This workshop is for crafters 13 to adult, with basic crochet knowledge.
