This 8-part series is designed to help students gain introductory skills that will enable them to create personalized crochet projects. A video tutorial showing concepts that will be used in upcoming classes will be shared the week before each class. Students should practice the skills throughout the week so that they are prepared to focus on creating projects during class. Due to factors such as time and number of students, information provided in the video tutorials will not be taught during class, however, the first 7 – 10 minutes of each class will be dedicated to answering any questions that the students may have that will help them to follow along during the day’s lesson. Uncompleted projects can be worked on throughout the week and students are encouraged to share their work with the group. Students will learn that crochet is more than a creative hobby – it’s applied math in the form of fiber arts. Throughout this series, we will discuss patterns and how math is a major factor when deciding which patterns to pick for various projects. By the end of this series, students will have a better understanding of how to read written and graphic patterns. Each lesson will cover a range of stitches and techniques that will allow their budding crochet skills to blossom!
