What can students expect?

<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&#34;Times New Roman&#34;,serif"><span style="color:black"><span style="font-family:&#34;Arial&#34;,sans-serif">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 <em>swatching</em> 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. This is not a beginners’ course; you will need some previous knowledge of crochet. Learners MUST contact the tutor before buying any yarn. She will advise on the type of materials you will need to buy before the start of the course and a rough amount of yarn. She can be emailed at </span><a href="mailto:info@tenguerengue.com"><span style="font-family:&#34;Arial&#34;,sans-serif"><span style="color:#0070c0">info@tenguerengue.com</span></span></a>   </span></span></span></p>
