Intermediate & Beyond Crochet

$99

with Myriah Davis, Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult Education

Calendar Oct 30, 2024 at 6 pm, runs for 6 weeks

If you already understand the basics of crochet, but want to take your skills to the next level, or just never knew how to decipher a pattern independently, then this is the course for you! Learn to read more complex patterns, get tips and tricks to work smarter not harder, and finish your projects with support every step of the way! Taught with both instruction and working time, students will have the opportunity to fine-tune their skills and build a friendship afghan using more advanced patterns and stitches. Choose a pattern, or provide your own, and Myriah will offer support in reading crochet shorthand and notes, choosing materials, making substitutions, and finishing projects with edging and borders.

Required: Bring a size H (5mm) crochet hook and sharp scissors to the first class. Other materials will be determined after choosing a pattern. No class 11/28.

Myriah Davis, owner & operator of Davis Arts, a pop-culture-based art business, has more than 20 years of crochet experience. Her goal is to share her enthusiasm for all things yarn, but especially crochet, with everyone she meets.
