Learn to Crochet

Ready to start stitchin'? Learn to Crochet for free with our online Learn to Crochet class. Everything you learn in our tried and true classes, but available to watch from the comfort of your couch! You'll learn all the crochet essentials: how to chain, single crochet, double crochet, pattern reading, and finishing techniques!

- 2 x buttons (2" or so) 

- 1 x darning needle

- 1 x removeable stitch marker
