Crochet course for beginners

In this comprehensive beginner's course you will learn the basic skills of crochet and gain confidence to create your own fabulous pieces.  Over 4 weeks you will learn how to hold and manipulate the hook, create the basic stitches which are the foundation of all projects, make squares, work in the round and read patterns.

Session 1:  Get to know your hook!

Session 4:  Following a pattern
