Foundation Crochet Stitches

With Sharon Carter, Dragon Hill Studio

Saturday: 15.00 – 17.00

You will learn this extremely useful technique which allows you to work the chain and first row simultaneously, resulting in an even, stretchy foundation. You will also learn how to combine different stitches for a ripple pattern, mesh pattern etc , as well as how to easily add stitches at the end of a row, make buttonholes, and create handles.

Skills Needed: This is an Intermediate class and not suitable for beginners. You must be confident working a chain, double crochet & treble crochet.

Attendees will be working with sport weight yarn. Please bring a 4.5mm hook (you might need a larger / smaller hook if you tend to be a tight/ loose crocheter), scissors, stitch markers and a note pad & pen if you like to take your own notes.

Participants will receive yarn and comprehensive class notes.
