Crochet Workshop

​Join us for a fun and relaxed evening of crochet, where we’ll be creating handmade square coasters or pot warmers with fellow crafters at Bolo Bolo! This workshop is perfect for those with some previous crafting experience (whether crochet, knitting, sewing, or other needlework) and will guide you through the process of making a cozy, personalized coaster or pot warmer. The session covers how to start a project, work basic stitches, create a coaster/pot warmer and confidently cast off.

​All materials will be provided, including: • Yarn • A crochet hook • A finished sample coaster to take home • A handmade zine with clear instructions and future project ideas • A craft bag

​Throughout the evening, we’ll review key crochet skills, including the half double crochet stitch, color changes, and tips for creating neat, even edges. This is going to be a fun evening of crafting, creativity, and community!
