Crochet for Beginners

Get individual instruction to learn the basics of crochet, or a refresher as you start up again, or help with troubleshooting a problem. Perhaps you have tried to learn from videos, but have questions – this is the answer for you!

There is not a set project for this class, but several options for students, depending on each person’s experience level. Instructor Marnie Franklin is ready to meet your needs wherever you are on your crochet journey!

Choose the session that fits your schedule best, or sign up for two or all three sessions in this series to equip yourself with the strongest foundation as crochet is not learned overnight so the closer together your sessions are, the faster your muscle memory kicks in, and the more successful you will be. Register separately for each session you want to attend.

Financial assistance available for those truly in need for multiple classes or multiple student registration OR if you’re bringing any of your own yarn/hooks you will receive discount. Questions? Contact Marnie at the email below!
