With Samantha Groth
Let’s learn how to crochet cute things together! This is a family workshop for kids and adults to attend together.
In this workshop students will learn crochet basics to crochet their own adorable whale toy and headband. Have fun using plush chenille yarn to make your own creations. Crochet is a great challenge for the mind, and the possibilities are endless when you know how to do the basic stitches.
In this workshop you will learn some basic and common stitches, how to hold the crochet hook, how to hold and work with the yarn, and how to read crochet patterns. You will start with making a headband or wrist cuff to practice your stitches, learn how to stitch in rows, how to change colours and tie off your yarn ends. Then you will learn how to crochet in the round to create your own whale, a basic introduction to the craft of Amigurumi crochet. You will be taught how to crochet in 3D by increasing and decreasing your stitches, plus learn how to add features to your creature like fins and facial features to create character.
With the skills you learn in this workshop you can then go on to attempt more difficult patterns for toys, accessories, blankets, clothing, and even come up with your own designs!
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those that already know how to crochet, and for ages 9 years old and up. Kids do not need to be accompanied by an adult, but the more the merrier! The class fee price is per person. All tools and materials are provided.
