What you'll learn

By the end of the three lessons, you will have your first square that can be used for projects such as a Blanket, a scarf, a cardigan, or table doilies.

Use your imagination, and you can create anything you want with a combination of squares. Each square can be a different colour, or the same colour, for a unique design not duplicated as if it came off an assembly line.

A greater understanding of incorporating up to three different stitches is fundamental to making your square unique.
Master the art of crochet by integrating three individual stitches for your masterpiece.
Developing a simple square and duplicating that square over and over brings you to a finished product, such as a scarf, cardigan or blanket.
Implementing the three stitches to complete the individual squares gives you the opportunity to utilise different coloured wools/yarns.
Combining the different colours makes your project a one-of-a-kind.
Crochet is a form of meditation for me as it helps me to get out of my head and into my heart.
Crocheting is a way to keep your mind sharp and reduce stress.
