Flower Power! Crochet Coasters
Instructor: Katherine Applegate
Dates: Saturdays, February 22, March 8 and 15, from 1:30 - 3:00pm
Description: Join Katherine's class to crochet these beautiful flower-inspired coasters. This three-session series will cover one new coaster in each class to highlight in-the-round construction and various textured crochet stitches for the home. Students can use cotton or other yarn at DK, worsted, or Aran weight to make one of each coaster or multiples for a whole set.
Experience: Students should be comfortable with chaining, slip stitch, single crochet, half
double crochet, and double crochet stitches. We will cover working in the round, reading basic crochet patterns, the popcorn stitch, back loop only stitches, and the front post double crochet stitch.
