Beginner Crochet
Learn how a simple hook and one skein of yarn can be transformed into a beautiful lacy scarf! Perfect for a quick gift or an accent for an outfit. In the first session you will practice holding a crochet hook and maintaining even yarn tension. Four basic stitches will be introduced and you will have time to master them. In the second session you will learn how to read written instructions and start working on your scarf. Topics such as joining yarn and weaving ends will also be demonstrated.
