Crochet 103 is the next step in our crochet curriculum. If you've surpassed the basics and are ready to venture beyond beginner tutorials, this workshop is designed to give you the confidence to read patterns, choose the right yarn, and understand why different yarns produce dramatically different results.
Throughout class, we'll use the exclusive Makeshift scalloped crochet garland pattern as a practical guide to understanding how crochet patterns are written.
Rather than simply talking about pattern reading, they will learn by actually trying the project stitch.
The most valuable part of this workshop is learning how fiber choice changes a finished project. Every participant will receive one mini skein of chenille yarn and one mini skein of cotton yarn and crochet the exact same scalloped pattern using both. They will be able to see and feel how texture, stitch definition, drape, and overall appearance change depending on the yarn you choose.
This workshop is all about building confidence and walking away feeling good about buying a pattern and starting the project! They can also maybe bring a pattern they are confused by and we can help if there’s time at the end of class.
Prerequisite: Participants should already be comfortable with chaining, single crochet, and double crochet.
Perfect for:
🧶 crocheters ready to move beyond double crocheting “scarves” and “blankets”
📖 anyone intimidated by written patterns
🛍️ newbie makers curious about which yarn to choose
✨ crocheters who want to build confidence and independence
What you'll learn:
📖 How to read and understand written crochet patterns
🧶 Common crochet abbreviations and terminology
🔁 How to identify stitch *repeats* and pattern construction
🧵 How different fibers affect stitch definition, drape, texture, and finished appearance
🛍️ How to confidently choose and substitute yarn for future projects
✨ Techniques for crocheting a polished scalloped garland
Your registration includes:
🧶 one mini skein of cotton yarn
☁️ one mini skein of chenille yarn
📖 an exclusive Makeshift scalloped garland crochet pattern to take home
✨ guided instruction and plenty of time for questions
Workshop Age Guidance
Our workshops are designed to be a welcoming and inclusive creative space for all. Please note that workshops are intended for participants ages 14 and up, with instruction, pacing, and materials geared toward teens and adults rather than young children.
Workshops that are appropriate for younger participants will be clearly labeled as family-friendly or “Grown-Up & Me” activities. Thank you for your understanding!
