Join us for a fun and beginner-friendly crochet journey as you create a beautiful 50" x 60" sampler afghan from start to finish! In this workshop, you’ll learn 30 different crochet stitches over 16 sessions, building your skills one square at a time.
Each session introduces two new stitches and techniques while helping you grow more confident with your crochet skills. Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to expand their stitch knowledge, this workshop walks you through the process step-by-step while you create a cozy, heirloom-quality blanket to take home when the course is complete. Along the way, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to tackle future crochet projects with ease.
No crochet experience? You’re absolutely welcome! Beginners will just need to complete two additional foundational sessions before jumping into the sampler so you feel comfortable with the basics.
Attend any 16 sessions that work for your schedule, and receive individualized guidance each time so you can move confidently through your pattern at your own pace. You’ll choose your own color options to make your afghan uniquely yours.
All materials are included with your registration, so you can simply show up ready to stitch.
Need extra support between sessions? You’re welcome to attend Cozy Stitch Club or Crochet Confidence for additional help and encouragement along the way. Want to come in for extra sessions to make your afghan faster? Just contact Shelly at The 815 Artisan Collective to schedule!
