Beyond the Basics Crochet



This is the perfect class to follow our Learner’s Permit to Crochet class. This is a basic, top-down, double crochet beanie that you can customize with your favorite colors and to your favorite person's head.

The Bronco Beanie pattern has 3 sizes: Child Large/Adult Small, Adult Medium and Adult Large.

Amanda will teach the magic circle, increasing stitches to create a flat circle, crocheting in joined rounds (and optional changing colors), basic hat sizing, front loop/back loop crochet stitches, adding ribbing and reading a pattern.

Please come on into LambShoppe and choose a few colors of Cascade 128 Superwash. Please keep in mind that lighter/brighter colors will make it easier to see your stitches. If you want the added challenge of making a striped hat, please pick 3 colors. If you choose to make a solid-colored hat, you’ll still need 2 colors: 1 color for the body of the hat and 1 color for a contrasting brim.

We will not be able to stitch every stitch together in class so please be prepared to complete a little homework!

Supplies:

  • Bronco Beanie pattern. Purchase here!
  • Cascade 128 Superwash (in 2 or 3 colors)

  • 5.0mm/H hook hook   

    AND

  • 6.0mm/J hook

Homework: Measure the head circumference (around where the brim of a beanie will fall) of the person you are going to make this for and bring that info to class.
