About this Event

Crochet for Improvers: Stripes and Checks

This course follows on from our Crochet Foundation course, exploring a variety of stitches worked in rows and with multiple colours. It is a great way to build on your foundational skills, expand your crochet knowledge, and grow in confidence.

Every week we will work on a different striped or checked pattern, and through making these samples we will explore working with different stitch heights, carrying strands across a row, and increasing and decreasing.

A kit including some yarns and a hook will be provided to make your samples. You may bring your own yarn and tools if you prefer, and a notebook if you like to make lots of notes.

Course outline

WEEK ONE: Colourwork - We will learn how to work with multiple colours within a row to create a checked pattern, and will explore the technique further, looking at how to create other shapes and motifs.

WEEK TWO: Wave stitches - we will explore using combinations of double and treble stitches and changing colours to create different striped wavy patterns.

WEEK THREE: Chevron stripes - We will learn the chevron stitch, working stitches together and working multiple stitches in the same space to understand the technique and experiment with scale and repeats.

WEEK FOUR: Practice and recaps – no new stitch today! We will have some time to practice all the techniques covered, ask questions, and troubleshoot anything we had problems with. You can also bring project ideas to this session for some advice on getting going.

This course is suitable for experienced beginners who have a grasp of basic crochet skills and want to increase their knowledge of different stitches and techniques. The level is appropriate for those who have completed a Crochet Foundation with Cathy, or who are comfortable with foundation chains, and double and treble crochet stitches.

This course takes place on Monday evenings, 6:30pm - 8:30pm - 23rd Feb & 2nd, 9th, 16th March

Booking early helps independent facilitators like me to organise events in a cost and energy efficient manner, which gives us more time and energy to make the workshops fantastic for you.
