Post Stitch Crochet

Scarf
This crochet scarf uses post stitches to create the
appearance of a woven fabric. It is a perfect design to
use with one of Classic Elite Yarns 6 packs. Each row
will be worked with a new yarn, but don’t worry about
lots of tails. They will be incorporated into the fringe. In
class we’ll make a small sample piece that will work you
through the crochet methods that may be new to you:
foundation single crochet, standing stitches, and post
stitches. You’ll find that this pattern is ideal for throws
and shawls as well as scarves.

Clogs are knit XXXL size in wool and then run through
the washing machine to shrink the wool into a tight, firm
fabric. Susan will share her tips and tricks to help you

create the clog shaping. There are size options for every
