Learn the ins and outs of creating unique crochet figurines and characters! In this 7-week class, students will learn about different construction and finishing techniques while designing and crocheting their own unique pieces.
This is an intermediate class and students should have experience crocheting basic stitches (chain, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet) and counting stitches and rows. To get the most out of this course, you should have some time in your schedule to work on your project outside of class.
No class 3/26/26
Required Materials

- Locking stitch markers (e.g. the "Clover 353" stitch markers)
