Learn to Crochet: Granny Squares

Revisit the retro art of crocheting granny squares with instructor Judy Ostrander in this beginner-friendly crochet workshop. Students will learn how to create colorful fiber art pieces that can be used in numerous ways. Make a potholder, coaster, blanket, or upcycle your favorite jeans to incorporate granny square pockets! The possibilities are endless. Granny squares are a great way to use scraps of yarn from prior projects. We’ll provide assorted acrylic yarns to choose from, but students should bring their own crochet hook (size H) and any additional yarn scraps in their colors of choice. This workshop will be held from 5:30-7:30 pm on Thursday, October 1 in the Brannan Family Meeting Room at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway in Mount Pleasant. Recommended age: 13 and up Basic crochet experience is helpful, but not necessary. In the beginning, it’s all about getting comfortable holding your crochet hook, consistency, and patience.
