How to Crochet for Complete Beginners
In this beginner how to crochet course we’ll take you through every technique and stitch needed to learn how to crochet! This 10 chapter course guides you through the techniques needed and 6 unique projects along the way to not only help practice, but put your new skills to the test!
Hey there!
Thank you so much for supporting me and our small business!
Your kit includes all the materials to learn to crochet and make the 6 main projects from the Crocheting 101 Series, and you can use this page to find everything you’ll need.
This series is designed in 10 chapters going through the basics of crochet and a variety of stitches. Between every few chapters we’ll be making a variety of projects incorporating a few of the techniques we’ve learned. I highly suggest following the series in order starting from from Chapter 1. You can begin using the Start Now button below or this link.
Included with this kit is also a downloadable PDF version of the entire series, chapters, and projects. You can find a button to download it below. Both the PDF and digital patterns on the site are interactive and incorporate checkmarks to keep track of progress, and links to each sections complementary video tutorial.
At the end of each chapter and project there is a link to continue on in the series. The series completes with a bonus project for a beanie, the Starter Kit does not include the materials for the bonus beanie, but is included in the Delux Kit.
Some additional patterns from the library can be made with this kit’s materials as well, and once you have a firm grasp on the hook you can find them in the Alternative Patterns section below!
If you’re having extra trouble check out the official Club Crochet Facebook Group or Discord. I’m usually around, but there are a bunch of other members of the community who would be happy to help if I’m not! I also do weekly live crochet alongs and can answer any questions live, see the calendar at the bottom of the page for specific dates and times.
Thank you again for supporting Club Crochet! I’m honestly jealous of your journey, it is one of the greatest joys I’ve found in life and I’m honored to be the one to guide you through it.
Happy hookin!
