Level Up Your Crocheting (Intermediate)
Comm Ed - Lifestyle | Available
Time to level up, crocheters! This class is designed for the crocheter who has mastered the basics and is ready to expand their skills into more complex techniques, creating beautiful and professional-looking projects. We will move beyond the fundamental stitches to delve into exciting new textures and construction methods, such as how to read crochet more easily, master new stitches, increase and decrease your stitches to widen and narrow, and to create 3D shapes.
What we will make: a succulent plant that you can hang or put in the container of your choice. No water or sunlight required!
What you should bring with you: if you'd like to pot your plant, bring a small container (see picture). Hooks and yarn are provided.
What prerequisites are required: This is NOT a beginner's class. Participants must be proficient and comfortable with the following skills before enrollment:
- Chain Stitch (ch)
- Slip Stitch (sl st)
- Single Crochet (sc)
- Half-Double Crochet (hdc)

- Pattern Reading: participants must be able to read and understand US crochet pattern abbreviations and instructions (e.g., "row 3: Ch 3, dc in next 5 sts, sc in next st, hdc in next 2 sts, repeat from * to * across, turn")
- Tension and Gauge: participants should be able to maintain a consistent tension and understand the concept of gauge and why it's important for project sizing
