CULINARY ARTS

Learn the basics of amigurumi crochet and how to crochet in a spiral using just one stitch. You will create a tactile toy, an octopus, the perfect gift or donation to a local hospital NICU. For this class, it would be helpful to be familiar with the single crochet stitch and chain stitch but it is not required as the instructor will guide participants in both types. The following supplies will be needed for class: a safety pin or stitch marker, scissors, tape measure, yarn needle, and a small amount of poly-fil or polyester stuffing – about 2-3 hands full. If you are making a NICU donation, you will need a 3.25 mm OR 2.75 mm crochet hook, 1 skein of or worsted weight cotton (recommend Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton). If you are making it for a gift, you will need a 4 mm to 6 mm size crochet hook and at least 4-8 oz worsted weight cotton or acrylic yarn.
