Annie's Online Classes are video classes that cover specific interest areas in a variety of craft categories. Designers and experienced instructors, who are leaders in their field, create and instruct the video classes, using demonstration as a way to teach the tips and techniques they are known for. You can view the video classes at your convenience, as many times as you like, and can ask questions that will get personalized responses from your instructors.

Most Annie's Online Classes include projects and patterns as part of the class material. Project instructions and patterns are available as a PDF download.

You can watch a short preview of each class to learn more about the class and the skill level required. Click on the play button you see on the title photo of each class to watch the free preview.

All our instructors use fairly common supplies, many of which are carried by Annie's. However, if you are unable to get the specific brand used, you can easily find a substitute at your local craft retailer. Just be sure to purchase items with the same specifications, such as yarn type that matches the gauge the project pattern calls for. Your success in completing any of the class projects is not based on using the exact same supplies the instructor used.
