Description

A supportive top-down garment crochet course for learners who have mastered basic crochet, designed to develop skills, refine techniques, and build confidence while creating a made-to-measure seamless garment. Taught using the right-handed technique, with support available for left-handed learners who notify the tutor in advance.

What can students expect?

You will learn the top-down crochet method and create a seamless garment. You will be able to decide the style and length of your garment. 

You will discuss swatching for your project (checking if your stitches match up with these of a pattern) and how to calculate how much yarn you need to complete it. 

Finally, you will learn how to block your garment and get it ready to wear. 

A guide to the yarn required for this course will be sent before the start date. Please wait until you receive this guide before purchasing any yarn.
