Instructor: Karen Whooley
Skill Level: Beginner
Pre-requisite: Students should know how to chain, single crochet, double crochet, and triple crochet.
Class Description: The foundation stitches create the chain and the stitches at the same time. Most crocheters are not taught that, they chain first then work the stitches into the chain. This technique bypasses that. Just like building a house, the foundation of the crochet project is the most important – and is always the hardest part to get just right. By learning how to make the chain and the foundation of the most popular stitches (single, half double, double, triple) at the same time, we will solve one of the biggest problems crocheters have. We’ll also work on making some alternate foundations that allow for openwork and other types of project-starts.
