Description of classes
Discover Single Crochet: we’ll focus on beginner crochet techniques. This class will be perfect for those who have never crocheted before and those who want to brush up on their basic skills. We will take a trip to the yarn department to pick out an appropriate yarn and hook (worsted weight yarn and a 5.5mm or 6mm hook)

Discover One Piece Granny Throws: this is about all things in-the-round! We’ll do the Granny Square and any other motif we feel like making!

Discover Time For Crochet: this is the catch-all class. See the list below for possible topics, and feel free to suggest one.
