Funky Squares workshop | Mosaic and Tapestry crochet

This is an in person class held at Baaad Rabbits in New West.

You need to be confident in working a double crochet to take this class.

Funky Squares scarf (Ravelry link) by Mette Hesselbjerg combines overlay mosaic and tapestry for this spectacular design.

In this workshop you will learn foundation single crochet, this gives you an elastic edge and is far superior to a chain start, it ensures the two edges of your scarf have the same stretch. You will learn how to read a mosaic crochet chart, work tapestry and mosaic crochet.

This class will cover:

• Foundation single crochet.
• How to read a mosaic overlay crochet chart.
• Tapestry crochet; working two colours across a row at the same time.
• Working through the back loop
• Working overlay mosaic

Materials required (not included):

• Yarn: You can use any fingering weight yarn, sample uses Heritage Sock in Real Black and Edelweiss. You need 2 x skeins for the main colour, and each ball of Edelweiss will work two repeats of the pattern. For a seven colour scarf you will need one ball of each colour except for the colour you start and finish the scarf with where you'll need two. You can also use a heavier weight yarn if you wish.
• Pattern: Funky Squares scarf available on Ravelry 
  • Please bring a print out of the chart with you, if you do not have access to a printer, please contact Rebecca and she will print a copy for you.

• Colouring pens/ pencil: Please bring colouring pens/ pencils in the two contrast colours you are using for your swatch.
  

• Hook: 3mm for fingering weight yarn, we recommend Chiaogoo due to the narrow width of the hook head which makes it easier to work through the back loop.
• Removable stitch markers: We recommend Coco Knits Split ring markers. (These will be back in stock soon)

Dates: 

• Sunday January 12th 12:30pm - 3:30pm
  
• Sunday February 9th 10am - 1pm
