Learn to Crochet Kit

With all you need to start crocheting your very own chenille scarf, this kit includes a step-by-step, 32-page booklet that contains illustrated instructions for learning basic crochet stiches. Even if you're a beginner, you'll have a 5.5" wide and 58" long scarf when you're done!

Crocheting expert Deborah Burger will teach you about hooks and other crochet tools, yarn, and all the basic stitches. You'll understand crocheting instructions, symbols, and diagrams so that you'll have a handy list of abbreviations for all your future crochet projects.

The Learn to Crochet Kit also comes with worsted-weight yarn in two colors (150 yds. each), size J (6 mm) and I (5.5 mm) crochet hooks, 4 open stitch markers, and a yarn needle.

Deborah Burger is the author of Crochet 101 and How to Make 100 Crochet Appliques. She learned to crochet from her grandmother at age 12. While she has found enjoyment in many fiber, textile and other art forms, crochet remains her lifelong favorite. She has been teaching crochet for more than 20 years, through Girl Scouting, various community centers, summer camps, at Charlotte’s Fibers (a yarn shop in Western North Carolina), and the John C. Campbell Folk School. She is active in the online community, Ravelry, and has written articles and patterns for Interweave Crochet and the e-zines, Crochet Insider and Crochet Uncut. Deb and her musician/potter husband, Don, are the parents of seven grown children and have several grandchildren, most of whom also crochet. In addition to crochet, Deb enjoys knitting, embroidery, painting, fiber sculpture, gardening, performing folk music, and reading.
