Are you always in a mood? Aren't we all? We can all use a little self care these days and I can't think of a better way than relaxing with yarn and a hook, after all, crochet can be a fun way to express your mood which is exactly what you will do in this class.

But first, let's talk "Granny Squares". We have all seen them, they're what most people immediately think of when crochet comes to mind, and one of the best beginner projects in crochet.

Today's class we are going to make a granny square from start to finish, learn to change colors to add a border, and learn how to join the squares to make virtually anything from a blanket, pillow, scarf, bag...Grannies are so versatile!

Grannies are definitely for beginners and enjoyed by experienced crocheters alike!

You'll need a few materials today including:

yarn in multiple colors (worsted weight)
hook (5.0mm preferably)
scissors
yarn needle
coffee (optional)
positive attitude (mandatory)

Don't forget to download the PDF of the pattern to follow along as you watch the lessons! It can be found in the "Projects & Resources" section.
