I’m excited for new session of in-person crochet class in Des Moines! Learn crochet stitches, how to read patterns and techniques as you make projects to wear or give as gifts! See what you can do!
Class: Learn to Crochet • Dates: 1/8/2025 – 2/12/2025
If that session doesn’t work for your schedule, join me after spring break:
3/26/2025 – 4/30/2025 •
What if you don’t live in the Des Moines are still want to take this course? Beginning in December you can register for the online class that will held on Tuesdays beginning January 7. We will cover the same material in a virtual classroom you can join from anywhere!
A crochet and coffee will be held Saturday mornings via Google Meet and in-person students can join online students to ask questions and chat about your projects in a virtual classroom setting.
I love to crochet hats for two reasons. They are fast and, for the most part, only use one skein of yarn. Keep in mind the larger the hook and thicker the yarn, the faster it will work up. This makes hats an ideal item for craft fairs and online shops. There’s a lot of room for creativity too. Colors, shape, design and embellishments all combine to make a unique project with a lot of personality.
This easy spiral single crochet beanie hat uses increases to create the shape of the hat. For smaller sizes, use a smaller hook and lighter weight yarn. For a free copy of this hat pattern with links to a video demonstration, email me at Victoria@crochetclasswithvictoriacarrington.com and say free hat pattern! Then be sure to share a photo of your completed project so we can see your own personal touches.
To crochet an increase, crochet two or more stitches into the (one) stitch below. The abbreviation for increase in inc.
An example of a pattern will read: two dc in next dc (two double crochets in the next double crochet stitch below)
Or
3 dc in corner sp (all three double crochets are done in the space created by chains created in the previous row in the corner).
