Led by fiber artist Billie Theide, students will learn the basics of crochet, how to chain, create basic stitches, change colors, read work, fix mistakes and bind off; and join squares to create dishcloths, coasters, bags, scarves, pullovers and throws.

Each student will leave with at least one uniquely designed crocheted “granny square”
that can serve as a start for a bigger blanket, scarf, bag, and more!

$95/person - supplies not included 
(Ages 13+; 13-15-year-olds must be accompanied by an adult, who does not need to register.)
Register here. Registration will close Jan. 8 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
