Intro to Crochet: Textured Slouch Hat

Crochet is creative and fun! Keeping up with the trends is easy once you know the basic techniques.

You'll learn the basics and beyond (chain st, single crochet, double crochet, slip st); enough to start your first project. You will also learn how to do textures, ridges and work in the round to further your crochet skills. You'll make a fashionable beanie for any age!

Classes are designed for people who have NO crochet experience whatsoever. Ambitious beginners are welcome!

All materials provided, including 1 skein of yarn, 1 crochet hook and 1 yarn needle . We will have a variety of yarn colors to choose from! 

Crocheting is good for mental health because it requires mindfulness. As you crochet, you need to pay attention to each stitch, the movement of your hook or needle, your breath, your stitch count.   “When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future"
