Love that afghan pattern but not interested in making an afghan? Need a quick and awesome gift?Take your choice of afghan pattern, preferably a square or stitch pattern that can be completed in a 12 x 12-inch area and manipulate it into a pillow cover. This does not require you to be an expert in crochet. If you can crochet the three basic stitches (single crochet, double crochet, chain stitch) then you can create your own pillow pattern. Bring two or three patterns you would like to try, paper, and pencil to the first class and we will plan out your project. The rest of the class time will be completing the project. 12 hrs.
