Learn to Crochet

Posted in Crochet, tagged , , on September 1, 2017| Leave a Comment »

Crocheting is a terrific hobby to develop.  I learned as a young child from my grandmother who was patient enough to teach a curious young girl.  And I’m glad she was because I have made hundreds of items over the years.  It is something I can do for a few minutes in between other things or I can sit for hours and crochet.  That is the beauty of it.  You can pick it up and put it down without any  preparation or clean-up.  And you can take most of it anywhere to do.  Stick it in a bag and crochet while in a waiting room or on a long car ride.  I LOVE IT!  If it’s time for you to learn then be sure to come to The Studio later this month and get in on the fun. We will learn to make an infinity scarf.  Click here  for more information and to register.

Tulip Stitch

Now that the weather is cooling off it’s time to think about picking up some needlework.  I love to crochet when it gets cold outside.  So I have been working on some ideas for crochet classes for The Studio.

 

Crochet Infinity

Beginner’s Class Infinity Scarf

We will have a Beginning Crochet Class on October 25th.  You can get  more information on that here.  The great thing about this class is that you will not only learn to crochet but you will actually make a beautiful infinity scarf.  Just ask some of the ladies who took this class last year.  I created a few “monsters” as they made dozens of scarves that all of their friends are now enjoying.

 

We will announce a few other crochet classes soon – one that will include how to work more advanced stitches and joining them like this Tulip Stitch afghan.  Watch for it.

Diamond Lattice Infinity Scarf

Posted in Crochet, The Studio/Classes, tagged , on January 12, 2015| 1 Comment »

2015-01-11 17 35 39_resized Crochet InfinityWe had our Beginning Crochet Class at The Studio yesterday with a full house.  Everyone got a great start on their Diamond Lattice Infinity Scarf.

This is a super easy pattern for beginning crocheters and it’s pretty enough that long-time crocheters will want to do it too.  Many thanks to Jen Keng of Classy Crochet for making this pattern available for us to use.  I love that you can find wonderful patterns all over the internet to keep trying new and fun projects.

Here is the pattern (or you can see it on the site link above).  This pattern works best with bulky yarn.

Easy Diamond Lattice Infinity Scarf

Chain 30.  (You can chain 25 if you want a little smaller scarf.)

Row 1: Slip stitch into the 10th chain from the hook.  Chain 5, count every 5 chains, slip stitch, repeat to the end.

Row 2: Chain 5, turn, and slip stitch into the middle of the chain 5 loop.  Repeat: chain 5 and slip stitch into the middle chain of each loop.

End of row 2.  Chain 5, turn, and repeat.  Continue until scarf is desired length.

Join by laying the ends together and whipping them up with a large yarn needle.

I spent some time working on another Infinity Scarf.  We have a Beginning Crochet class coming up this Sunday at The Studio and I made one sample scarf but decided to do another and make it a little smaller so the students can see the difference.

Lincoln was nice enough to model this one for me since Janet wasn’t here to model like she did the first one.  🙂

Be sure to check out the calendar for classes coming up at The Studio-A Place for Learning.
