30-Minute Virtual Crochet Lesson

10


10 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Oct 27, 2017

Via a 30-minute Skype session, I will teach you some basic skills needed to begin crocheting (how to hold the hook, how to make a slipknot, how to chain, and how to single crochet). By the end of the session, you should be able to practice these skills on your own. With time and practice, you can use these skills to begin making simple projects like scarves and dishcloths.

You will need these things:
1. A size H or I crochet hook. The size should be on the packaging. I like hooks with comfort grips, but you can choose whatever you like.
2. A ball or skein of yarn. I recommend a medium-weight yarn with no special textures (Red Heart Super Saver is a good choice) and a solid color so you can easily see what you're doing. On the label, it should either say "Medium" or have a picture of a skein of yarn with a number 4 in the middle. A bright color is ideal so I can see what you're doing and give you feedback.
3. Skype with a good internet connection. If the video is grainy, it's hard for us to see each other's work.

Training & Qualifications


I have been crocheting since April 2017 and own a crochet shop on Etsy (CrochetAwayCo). I have also taught high school and middle school. I have taught myself through books and the internet and have made a handful of projects ranging from scarves to adult-sized blankets to hats to sweaters.

Availability & Preferences


Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern (US) time

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

I have often wondered what life was like during historical periods when people used a barter economy. I can't wait to see how this community can bring people together for mutual benefit.

About Candice Bellows

I am an editor and writer with a first-rate eye for detail and a knack for finding issues that others fail to notice. I have seven years of experience in various types of editing (copyediting, line e...diting, proofreading, and substantive editing) and have worked for several large publishers and other companies as an intern, proofreader, and freelance editor. I also taught high-school and middle-school history for about two years. I am also the owner of a crochet shop on Etsy, CrochetAwayCo. I began crocheting seriously in 2017 after a serious foot injury that left me stuck on the couch for most of the spring and summer. I crochet everything from hats to sweaters to blankets and love trying out new ideas, so I always have entirely too many projects going at the same time. ;) I adore bright, colorful, soft yarns and use all sorts of them in my work. My shop mascot is my stuffed polar bear, Rowan.show more
