Get Hooked on Crochet!
Registration is required as seating is limited.
Trying to read a new pattern? Not sure how to hold your hook? If you’ve been struggling to learn crochet, then this program is for you! No question is too silly when you’re trying to learn a new skill. Join an experienced crafty librarian for a crash course in all things crochet and leave with resources to aid in your practice at home!
Already an expert crocheter? Feel free to join us to hang out and work on your current projects or share your knowledge with our crochet community!
Open to crocheters of all levels! Ages 16+. While we may have extra supplies on hand for the duration of the program, patrons must ultimately supply their own tools.
