What's provided:

- hooks and yarn (available for taking home)

- scissors and needles for tying off and finishing projects (available in class only)

- a basic pattern to follow (one copy per student for keeping)

What to bring:

- If you want to use your own materials (hooks, yarn, tapestry needles) you're welcome to bring them.

- A favorite funny joke or improv game, if you have one :)

If you'd like to use your own yarn, please contact Hands ahead of time to make sure that it's workable!

This class is designed for people ages 6-10 years of age. We will learn or review basic stitches as needed, with ongoing guidance on following a provided pattern for each student. Students will be able to take home the patterns and any needed materials and contact the teacher with questions as they arise. We will also learn basic anatomy of the hand and wrist, and exercises to warm up the fingers and wrists before working.

Class 1: We'll spend some time selecting our yarns and hooks, then we'll review the basic stitches we need to follow the provided pattern. Students will be encouraged to practice at home.

Classes 2 & 3: we will review stitches as needed, and each at their own pace, we'll start our projects. Hands will be available to answer questions outside of class should they arise.

Class 4: Completing our projects- adding on any finishing touches, maybe starting a second project depending on individual pace.

Hands Condon has been crocheting for more than two decades and loves teaching people of all ages, whether they are a beginner getting started or a more advanced crocheter wanting to learn new skills or techniques.
