Beginner and Novice Crochet Class — Pattern Notes & Gauge

Learn how to choose and read patterns, acquire materials, assemble pieces, and finish projects with step-by-step instructions and support along the way! This course will be taught in the style of the working bees from our history. The instructor will demonstrate a skill, then attendees will be given “workshop” time to practice their new skills. Over the course of six weeks, we will have the opportunity to fine-tune our skills and build a friendship afghan using more advanced patterns.

Classes run from 3:30-5:00 PM at The New School, 38 York Street, Kennebunk. Open to ages 13+. Only 12 spots available, so register early!

• Full 6-week course costs $140 and includes all material costs.
