Crocheting – Basics

Crochet is a versatile technique, easy and quick to learn. It only requires yarn and a crochet hook. Unlike knitting, every stitch is worked individually, allowing freely creating diverse shapes.

You will be able to identify crocheted fabric, learn the basic crochet stitches, recognize yarn types and read crochet patterns (written and charted).

During the course we will develop two and three-dimensional projects, and work in rows and in the round.
