Thinking of teaching crochet? At a loss as to where to start? Well, below are packets to help you get started. If you have done it differently that's great! If you have been to a class conducted differently, no problem. Note that there are no refunds for the packets since a person could copy them and then return them.
Note that any extra tutorials that are linked to here, or any others on the site, are not free for the taking. I spend many hours on these. Let me know if there is something else you'd like to see in the packets.
My daughter conducted a small class with some of her friends. We did many of these things for her class. The class was free, but the students paid for their own hooks. I purchased all the how-to leaflets so they would have the same one and they would be in on time. For Christmas we got them each a small Rubbermaid container to hold their supplies. This might work for a girl’s club, like Girl Scouts, Camp Fire or Keepers at Home. As a first project, or after the girls learn the basics, they could do a charity project. Also, clubs usually have paid dues which could defray expenses. Sometimes local companies will donate supplies towards this sort of thing.
I have also taught Community Education class as well as many private students. My choices depended to a great degree on who my students were - age and skill level.
The files below are pdf files and require a reader to open.
Here is a list the pdf files available for purchase. Each packet gives a license for making 12 copies of the material. That would cover teaching 12 students. If your class has 6 students, then you can hold a second class with another 6 students in it without paying additional fees. There are no refunds for unusued license fees. You also are not allowed to change anything in the pdf file. If you find an error, please call it to my attention and I will correct the file and send a replacement free of charge.
