Crochet for Beginners

Instructor: Lisa Daehlin

Supply list:

Yarn:

  • Yarn for in-class technique work: 2 balls/skeins of chunky weight yarn, smooth texture, NOT cotton (1 in a light-colored yarn, the other in a contrasting not-too-dark color).
  • Yarn for scarf project: approx 400 yards of chunky weight yarn, smooth texture, NOT cotton (the reason for this is that cotton has almost no “give” or flexibility and is tiring on the hands and can be frustrating for a beginner knitter to use.
  • Yarn for cell-phone pouch project: 1 ball/skein of chunky weight yarn. It won’t even take a full ball.
  • NOTE: More yarn will most likely be needed for subsequent classes (type/quantity will depend on the project(s) chosen).

Tools:

  • 2 crochet hooks (size I or J, or similar).
  • blunt-tipped darning/sewing needle (with large “eye” for yarn), recommended brand: Clover.
  • scissors
  • note pad and pencil or pen
