    Ready to start your crochet journey? Then join us for a beginner crochet class where you'll be shown the mindful art of creating granny squares!

    The class will provide step-by-step instructions with hands-on assistance and endless encouragement. All equipment (hooks and yarn) will be provided but feel free to bring our own if you'd prefer. You can take home any squares you complete, along with written instructions to help you continue your craft.

    Since the late 1800’s granny squares have been the corner stone of crochet creation. The traditional granny square starts at the center and then grows, round by round, until it ends up a square. Constructed of just three stitches, chain stitch, double crochet stitch and slip stitch, the granny square can be made in a large variety of stitch combinations to create different shaped and sized squares.
