T-Shirt Re-Storage: Crocheting with T-Shirt Yarn

Transform those worn out or stained T-shirts into a crocheted bowl/basket. Very basic crochet skills are recommended, but not required. If you can single crochet and use a ruler and pair of scissors, you can create this beginner-crochet friendly project!

We will walk through creating the yarn from old T-shirts, using a magic ring for the base and increasing crochet stitches in the round. All supplies will be provided.

Participants will leave with the foundations of a crocheted bowl, enough yarn to complete the project, a printed pattern and crochet hook.

These crocheted bowls or baskets are unique and colorful, and in addition to storing various items, might also hold lots of memories, if made from favorite (but no longer wearable) garments.
