Whether you are brand new to needle crafts or are a seasoned knitter wanting to branch out, crochet is a fun, portable craft to ignite your creativity.

 
In this 4-hour workshop, you will learn all the fundamentals to get you started! We will go over materials used for crochet, making a foundation chain and basic stitches including slip stitch, single crochet, half-double crochet, and double crochet. Work through a few swatches to practice the different stitches, and then using these skills, create a simple ear warmer, perfect for chilly weather or a great last-minute gift!
