I’d like you to accompany me on an exciting journey as I learn to design my own crocheted garments. I’m no expert, so I’m starting out very simply – simple shapes (squares and rectangles), easy-to-execute stitch patterns, and the ways in which various yarns and crochet hook sizes result in a variety of fabrics.
You’ll learn along with me the importance of–
— Taking accurate body measurements
— Swatching
— Determining gauge
— Deciding on the amount of ease you want in your garment
–Figuring out how your fabric will drape
— Blocking
— Turning your designs in to patterns
…and much much more.
My hope is that we can gain confidence together to start designing our own cool, crochet creations!
