Learn to Crochet Online - Each Tuesday at Crafty Daisies

Starting next week Heather at Crafty Daisies will be hosting a 12 week crochet class on the Crafty Daisies blog! Now you can really learn how to crochet.

Heather writes:

Each week we will discuss a new technique or stitch, and then there will be a pattern at the end that will allow you to use your techniques just learned. The patterns will be for afghan squares. The idea will be that you can make up a couple of the squares each week, and then when we get to the later lessons you will finish off the squares, seam them together and then you will have a lapghan to show off!

Read more about the supplies you'll need to start and check out the lesson plan at Crafty Daisies here. - Link.
