Taught by Rhiannon Platt
Rhiannon Platt is at least third generation fiber artist. Raised by seamstresses, crocheters, and fiber artists of all kinds, she picked up her first pair of needles over a decade ago. Since her first scarf, Rhiannon has gone on to fabricate for Lion Brand Yarn, Nathan Vincent, Olek, Jeila Gueramian, Londonkaye, and Levi’s. In between commissions, she finds time to write patterns and make endless sweaters.
Granny squares are a classic crochet motif that, while typically seen in blankets, can be used to make so much more!
In this class, students will learn to swatch so their project fits correctly, how to crochet in the round, change colors, seam their squares together, and make crochet ribbing! With these skills you can create so many projects with granny squares, including sweaters, stuffed animals, slippers, scarves, and even pants.
Prior to class, students will need to know the chain and double crochet and be comfortable working them. No knowledge of working in the round required! There will be homework required between sessions, and please make sure you can attend all sessions before signing up! Materials provided.
