Hello! :) Welcome to my new Skillshare class!

My name is Vania and I will be your teacher! I love to knit, to do crochet, to sew and to build things using laser machines and 3D printers. At the moment I am working at a makerspace, where I am responsible for the textiles department! I am also studying fashion design :)

In this class I am going to teach you the basics of crochet. You will build samples for each type of stitch, and you will do a granny square!

The students will learn:

The US crochet nomenclature
How to do a slip knot
How to do a chain
How to do the single crochet
How to do the double crochet
How to do the half double crochet
How to do the treble
How to do a slip stitch
How to weave in the ends

Who the class is geared toward?

Complete beginners – with no experience in crochet!

Materials:

. Yarn

. Crochet Hook

. Scissors

. Tapestry needle

Class Project:

Project Description

In this class we will practise each crochet stitch, making small samples for each stitch. I recommend to have these samples so it will be easier to see the different way each stitch looks. And of course, it will be an opportunity to practice the technique!

After practising doing the samples we will make a lovely granny square!

There are 2 documents available for this class. One with differences between the US and the UK nomenclatures. The other with the pattern for the Granny Square Project.

Make lovely squares, and play with different colors to build them!

I would love to see the photos of your squares! Please share them :)

Thank you!

Happy makings! :)
