Learn the basics of crochet shaping while making this disarmingly charming Marin Hat! The techniques used in this adorable sailor hat make it the perfect project for a confident beginner looking to expand their crochet skill-set. This class will cover how to crochet in a spiral beginning with the Magic Ring technique and learn the basics of shaping by increasing stitches. We will also go over creating stripes and managing more than one ball of yarn attached to our project.

In this workshop, each week progresses to the next step outlined by the instructor. This class includes “homework” that will need to be done outside of class for the next session. Any missed classes will need to be made up during the week, before the next class.
