What if your crochet projects could say something… without saying it out loud?
In this creative craftivism workshop, you’ll learn how to encode hidden messages into crochet using Morse code. By combining single crochet stitches (dots) and double crochet stitches (dashes), you can secretly spell out words, phrases, or affirmations directly into your projects.
This project actually has historical roots! During World War II, there are stories of crocheters and knitters incorporating Morse code into their work to pass along hidden information without raising suspicion. Textile crafts were everywhere, making them the perfect place to hide messages in plain sight. In this workshop, we’ll explore that clever tradition and bring it into modern craftivism.
Throughout the workshop, we’ll learn the Morse code alphabet and practice translating letters into crochet stitches. Using two colors of yarn (provided), you’ll create practice swatches that make the pattern of dots and dashes easy to see while you learn the system. Once you understand the code, you’ll be able to start incorporating hidden messages into scarves, blankets, bags, and other crochet projects.
Whether you want to stitch secret affirmations, quiet protest messages, or meaningful words into your work, this workshop explores how crafting can become a subtle form of personal expression and craftivism.
