Ready to take your crochet skills beyond the basics? Dive into the world of granny squares—a classic design with a contemporary flair! In this class, you'll learn how to crochet these timeless squares, and join them first into a headband, and then make them into a hat. Skills learned in this class will be beneficial as you move on to create a variety of projects like blankets, scarves, bags, and even stylish garments like skirts, tops, and jackets.

You'll be guided through each round of the granny square with clear, step-by-step instructions. Along the way, you'll pick up tips on color changes, managing your stitches, and staying on track as you work. Whether you're eager to use up leftover yarn or embark on a new creative journey, this class will open the door to endless possibilities with one of the most beloved crochet designs. Join us and discover just how fun and versatile granny squares can be!

This class will meet on two Saturdays, with time in between to practice what you've learned.

In the second session, you'll learn:
