Whether this is the month you finally learn to crochet, or it’s time for you to add new stitches to your arsenal, expert crocheter Twinkie Chan will show you how. Begin with learning basic crochet stitches and their written abbreviations, then work toward crocheting small, friendly swatches with more decorative stitches. Once you’ve spent the month immersed in Twinkie’s wonderful world of crochet, you’ll end up with a beautiful collection of square swatches that you can use as coasters or seam up to make a super cute and colorful stitch sampler to hang on the wall. Build the skills - and the confidence - to crochet almost anything with just yarn and a hook.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Crochet hook in size H/8 5.0mm or I/9 5.5mm
Worsted weight yarn (#4 weight) - Twinkie is using Red Heart Super Saver in Perfect Pink, Baby Pink, Minty, Coral, Gold, Soft White, but you only need one ball of any yarn color to start. Avoid black or very dark colors while you're learning what stitches look like.
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Stitch markers
Straight pins.
Optional: ruler, permanent marker, piece of cardboard,
For wall hanging, you’ll need a wooden dowel or stick that's slightly longer than the width of your seamed piece
