Tunisian Crochet in the Round - Lori Harrison

Sunday, August 11
2:00pm - 5:00pm (3 hours)

About the Class:
Learning how to do Tunisian crochet in the round opens up a whole new world of fun projects and colorwork. From hats to sweaters, a lot of patterns use Tunisian crochet in the round. Tunisian in the round uses a double ended hook and 2 strands of yarn. If you've been wanting to try this fun and versatile technique, come join me for this 3 hour class.
  
For this class we will start out creating a simple coffee cup cozy. This small project will teach us how to work in the round without any shaping. After we are comfortable with the mechanics of Tunisian crochet in-the-round, we'll start on the hat where we'll learn how to do a magic ring foundation row along with in the round shaping. We'll finish the crown in class and you can finish the remainder of the hat at home.
