Crochet Sweater Workshop - Sat 1/31, 2/7, 2/21: 12-2pm

My First Crochet Sweater Workshop - 3 Part Series  

Instructor: Joyce Q

Ready to make your very first crochet sweater? This workshop is the perfect place to start! You’ll create a modern, beginner-friendly pullover worked in one piece from cuff-to-cuff, then finished with just two simple seams, no complicated construction.

Using easy, repeatable stitches, you’ll create beautiful texture and learn how to customize the fit, adjusting both the sweater and sleeve length for a look that’s just right for you. This class builds confidence and makes sweater-making feel totally doable.

Perfect for crocheters ready to level up and say, “I can make sweaters now!”

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Students should be comfortable making a starting chain and working single crochet and double crochet stitches. You should have completed a few simple projects using these stitches and feel confident working independently.
