Learning how to read crochet diagrams starts by learning the simple symbols for the basic stitches. Diagrams simply place these small symbols in the order in which you stitch them, creating a visual "picture" for you to follow instead of line-by-line written instructions. But don't worry -- this class also includes the patterns written out word-for-word so you can learn at your own pace.
In this class you'll learn how to:
- Recognize all basic crochet stitch symbols including chain, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and treble crochet.
- Read crochet symbol diagrams for projects worked in the round.
- Read crochet symbol diagrams for projects worked in rows.
- Follow a crochet symbol diagram to make increases and decreases.
- Make five exclusive crochet projects working from symbol diagrams.
