Interested in becoming bi-craftual? In this class, you’ll learn some basic crochet stitches and techniques, aimed specifically at knitters. You’l see how some of your knitting skills can help you get ahead with this fun craft, and how some of them might hold you back. You’ll learn the chain stitch—crochet’s version of casting on—as well as single crochet,  double crochet, and slip stitch, and understand how to read crochet patterns and instructions. Then you’ll get started on your very first project: a lacy scarf you can complete with a single skein of yarn. Yes! You can jump straight into lace with crochet!

Knitting and crochet aren’t two different ways of doing the same thing: they are two different ways of doing two different things. So why not expand your yarn-y horizons and become a happy hooker.
