Let’s Learn how to crochet

Jan 24

Written By Lydia Hooker

Join us for some skill building with UMD student Lydia Hooker of Stitches & Sprouts.

Lydia will be teaching us the basics of crochet! Attendees are encouraged to bring their yarn and crochet hooks (if you have them) to learn this skill in a hands-on way, ask questions, and get instant answers!

Crocheting is often thought to be easier to learn than knitting and a quick way to get into yarn-crafts. Winter is a great time for crocheting and a hobby you can do throughout your lifetime!
