Hybrid/Tunisian Crochet Virtual Workshop July 18

Delve into a hybrid crochet technique which is easy for beginners and interesting even for experienced crocheters! Tunisian crochet uses two passes to create a single row, building up stitches on your crochet hook, then working them off on the return pass. It creates a soft, squishy fabric in a process that feels like a mix between knitting and crochet, with endless possibilities for texture and lace.

This workshop will take place on Zoom and registered students will receive the link two days in advance. Students will receive a handout as well as the slides shown during class, and will have the opportunity to ask questions during the workshop. The workshop will not be recorded and students do not have permission to record it themselves, but videos shown during class will be available to re-watch.

A Note on Pricing: There is a sliding scale for low-income makers, on the honor system, and a generous person has offered to sponsor a low-income student by paying full-price registration for them. Please email me at kirakdesignsATgmail.DOTcom if you’d like to claim that sponsored registration which means you’d get to attend the class for free.

Materials Needed: 40 yards smooth worsted or aran weight yarn, G or H crochet hook: a long-handled Tunisian hook, a hook with attached cable, or a smooth-handled hook (no rubber grips or thumb grooves). You may want to print out the handout that will be emailed to you two days in advance and/or have note-taking supplies and a calculator on hand. 

Teacher Background: I have worked in the yarn industry since 2002, as a yarn shop employee and later manager, teacher, pattern designer, and event host. I love exploring new techniques and have designed multiple patterns using hybrid/Tunisian crochet.

Cancellation Policy: If the organizer cancels for any reason, students will be offered a choice of rescheduling or receiving a full refund. If a student cancels before receiving the class handout (two days in advance) they will receive an 80% refund.
