Crochet 101 Our extended crochet program is for those who want to get a rock solid foundation in this lovely craft. In these 4 classes the basic stitch patterns will be practiced and perfected.

Circular or 3D crochet forms will also be covered and applied to a basic hat pattern and a crocheted toy.
