This Intro to Crochet Course provides a standard overview to beginner’s crochet. Attendees can expect to learn how to understand tension, create crochet stitches, weave in ends, switch colors, and complete beginner friendly projects each week.

This every-other-week series builds upon itself, so attendees should feel comfortable with the previous topics to attend the second, third, or fourth weeks. 

  1. Basics: How to hold a hook and yarn, understanding tension, and chains and single crochets.
  2. Doubles: Half double and double crochet, sewing by hand, crochet techniques.
  3. Triples: Triple crochet and switching colors linearly.
  4. Switching: Switching colors to create checkers, the magic circle

Attendees will leave with yarn and hook to practice in-between classes.

About the branch

The first West Indianapolis Branch opened in 1897, following the annexation of West Indianapolis into the city of Indianapolis. A new building on West Morris Street, constructed with funds from a $120,000 grant by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation, opened in 1912 and served the community until 1986, when the current 5,000-square-foot branch began service on South Kappes Street.
