Community Education of the Black Hills

Have you mastered the basics of crochet and are ready for your first wearable project? You might be surprised to learn that if you can make a slip knot, foundation chain, and double crochet, you already have the skills needed to create a beautiful poncho. In this two-session workshop, you’ll learn the stitch pattern and simple construction techniques while starting your project in the first class and building confidence reading and repeating the pattern. Between sessions, you’ll continue working at home, and in the second class we’ll answer questions, troubleshoot challenges, and ensure you’re ready to finish on your own. Students should be comfortable with basic skills (slip knot, foundation chain, double crochet, and consistent tension) and bring about 1,400 yards of worsted weight yarn and an appropriate hook (instructor will demonstrate with a 6.0 mm hook).
