The Hannibal Arts Council invites visitors to learn how to crochet a Diamond Gauge Block on April 4.
The Hannibal Arts Council will host a beginner-friendly crochet workshop with Grace Tate of Graceful Stitching Co. on Thursday, April 4. The workshop will begin at 6:30 p.m. and take place at the Hannibal Arts Council, 105 S. Main St. Instructor Grace Tate has been crocheting as a hobby for 10 years and is looking forward to sharing her love of the art with others.
The workshop will focus on pattern reading and practice chain and single crochet stitches to create a small Diamond Gauge Block. Participants will be given the full scarf pattern for practice at home. (The approximately 19”x74” scarf using size 3 yarn weight requires about 1500 yards.) It is recommended that participants are familiar with how to create a chain and single crochet, but proficiency is not required.
Needed supplies include yarn (weight 3 or 4) and a size 5mm or 5.5mm crochet hook. If a participant previously attended one of Tate’s workshops, the yarn and hook are compatible. Recommended but optional supplies include stitch markers.
If participants do not have the needed supplies, supplies can be provided, including necessary hooks, yarn, and any additional crocheting supplies needed to complete the project.
Class size is limited to 10 participants. The cost for the workshop is $10 (bring your own supplies) or $15 (supplies provided). Registration is required. To register for the workshop, go to https://hannibalartscouncil.eventbrite.com, call (573) 221-6545, or stop by HAC, 105 S. Main St.
