Description: Learn the basics of crochet and make a cute set of coasters in the process! In this beginner-friendly class, we will learn how to hold our yarn and hook, how to read a pattern, how to chain, and some basic crochet stitches. Using what you learn, we will begin to create your very own set of crochet coasters!
Feel free to bring your favorite beverage to enjoy while crafting. We have glasses available, no need to bring disposables.
When: Friday, 7/31 6:30pm-8:30pm
Skills taught: You’ll learn basic pattern reading, chaining, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, turning your work, and finishing a project. Are these terms new to you? That’s ok! Don’t let them intimidate you, this is truly a beginner’s workshop.
Skills needed: None! Just a desire to learn crochet and patience with yourself.
Supplies used: All supplies will be provided by CraftNation and will include worsted weight yarn, a 5mm crochet hook, and darning needles. Crochet hooks will also be available for purchase.
What you’ll leave with: Students will leave with one finished square coaster and enough yarn to complete three more.
Meet your teacher: Sloane started crocheting in 2023 as a way to work through grief and anxiety, and she’s been hooked ever since! She loves making everything, from garments to bags and blankets, and especially cute amugurumi. Sloane opened a small crochet business in 2025, Sloane Stitches, and she sells her amigurumi plushies on etsy and at markets around Philly!
All workshops at CraftNation are offered at a sliding scale. For guidance on which price you should pay, please see our Sliding Scale page.
