Crochet Rose Flower

Learn to crochet roses in time for spring and Mother’s Day!

Beginning crocheters and beyond are all welcome – the instruction will focus on each student’s experience level. Beginners will learn (or brush up on) chain stitch, single crochet and slip stitch, double crochet and working into a chain space.

Or, choose to learn i-cord. Those who finish early will see a few different options for the stem.

More experienced stitchers will learn a special hack to crochet a chain row and single crochet at the same time – two rows in one fell swoop – plus special contours for the rose petals.

Class will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026 from 1 – 3 pm. The class will be repeated on Friday, May 1, 2026 from 5:30 – 8:30 pm.
