Classroom: The Learn-To-Crochet Companion

The Design

“You’ll be crocheting in no time.”

In our shop, we knitters continue to fall in love with crochet. There are things crochet can do that knitting just can’t!

The Learn-To-Crochet Companion is a 16-page booklet that uses more than 150 instructional photos that will turn you into an accomplished crocheter. Just follow the steps! With The Companion by your side, you can even begin one of the First Projects patterns in the Churchmouse Classroom collection.

PHOTO TUTORIALS IN THIS PATTERN:

• Choosing and preparing your yarn
• Getting started: slip knots and how to hold your hook and yarn
• Making a chain
• How to perform a variety of crochet stitches: Single, double, half double, treble, and slip stitch
• Keeping your edges straight
• Working in rounds
• Increasing and decreasing
• Finishing and blocking
• Swatching for gauge and fabric

To get started, grab The Companion and a hook, and choose a shade of Manos del Uruguay Maxima, a super-soft, hand-dyed fine merino wool yarn that’s easy to use. You’re on your way!
