Whip up a cheerful, one-skein basket in just one session! You’ll use essential crochet techniques while creating a sweet little basket perfect for holding treasures, organizing your space, or gifting. We’ll start from the bottom with a magic ring and work our way up to finishing the handles—so satisfying to see it all come together! You’ll need one skein of Plymouth Yarns Fantasy Naturale (in a light solid or variegated color) and a size G (4.0 mm) crochet hook. Don’t worry if you don’t have supplies—we’ll have yarn for $12 and hooks for $6 available in class. Walk away with a finished basket and a few new crochet skills to keep your projects rolling! The pattern is provided by the instructor. Students must be familiar with chain and single crochet stitches.
I teach knitting, crocheting and Tunisian crochet classes at several yarn shops and art centers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul/St. Croix Valley area. One of my passions is knitting and crocheting with beads. I teach classes at ThunderWillow Community Arts in Hudson, at the Ramsey County and Hudson libraries, as well as through Hudson Community Education. I have been teaching professionally for seven years. My background as a graphic artist in the publishing industry facilitates my ability to design, write, produce and publish my patterns. I learned to knit continental or combination style at seven years old from my grandmother, who had to teach me in order to get her own knitting back from me! I live in western WI, with my husband, and the boss of the household, Thomas Edison, our stray kitty who came to stay. I am Yarn Happy Bead Happy!
