Curious about crochet but not sure where to begin? This three-week course with Malavika Rao is designed for complete beginners and anyone looking to build a strong foundation in the craft while exploring creative ways to work with reclaimed materials.
During the first week, students will learn the essential crochet stitches, develop confidence with tension, and become comfortable reading their work through guided demonstrations and hands-on practice. In the second week, we’ll explore sustainable approaches to crochet by learning how to reclaim yarn from thrifted knitwear, identify fibers suitable for unraveling, and experiment with alternative materials such as plastic yarn and fabric yarn made from textile offcuts. Students will then begin a beginner-friendly project of their choice. The final session is dedicated to troubleshooting, refining techniques, and receiving individual guidance while completing projects.
By the end of the course, students will leave with a finished project, a strong understanding of crochet fundamentals, and the confidence to continue making with both new and reclaimed materials.
