WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Learn how to create modern, geometric crochet hexagon motifs! They're fun and easy to stitch, and finished hexies can be used as a launching pad to create tons of crochet projects. Led by instructor Kat Petrillo, in this workshop you'll learn:
- How to crochet in the round to create a hexagon shape
- How to double crochet
- How to change colors to create stripes and other fun color combos
- How to select the best yarn for this type of project
- How to join hexagons together to create blankets, pillows, accessories, and more
You'll leave with a finished hexagon or two (depending on skill level/speed) and the know-how to make more, so you can be on your way to stitching anything and everything from blankets to bags! A pattern for the pillow in the image above will be provided, as well.
Basic crochet skills are very helpful, but are not required to attend this workshop. If you are a newbie and would prefer to master the basics before tackling hexagons, join us for Crochet 101 first-- register here for our next virtual session!
