Crochet Tools & Materials
Every craft begins with the right tools, and crochet is no different. In this module, you will become familiar with the essentials that set the foundation for your projects. You will explore crochet hooks in different sizes and materials, learn how yarns vary in fiber and thickness, and understand how to read yarn labels so you can choose the right supplies with confidence. Alongside these, you will also discover simple but useful accessories such as scissors, stitch markers, and measuring tapes that make the process smoother and more enjoyable. By the end of this module, you will not only recognize the tools of crochet but also know how to select them for your specific project needs, setting yourself up for success from the very first stitch.

Basic Crochet Stitches & Pattern Reading
Purpose of this module: This module introduces you to the foundation of crochet—the basic stitches. You will begin with how to hold the hook and yarn correctly, creating comfort and control in your hands. From there, you’ll learn the slip knot and foundation chain, which are the starting point of nearly every project. Step by step, you’ll practice the most common stitches such as single crochet, double crochet, half-double crochet, treble crochet, and slip stitch. By the end of this module, you’ll not only know how to form each stitch but also understand how they combine to build patterns, textures, and complete pieces. These core skills will prepare you for your very first crochet projects in the next module.

Your First Crochet Project
This module is where you put your new skills into action. You’ll start with a simple beginner-friendly project, a crochet coaster, that allows you to practice stitches while creating something useful. From there, you’ll move to slightly bigger projects like a scarf or dishcloth, which help you build confidence and consistency. You will also learn finishing techniques such as weaving in ends, blocking, and creating neat edges to give your projects a professional look. Finally, the module will show you how to troubleshoot common beginner mistakes like loose stitches and uneven edges so you can improve with practice. By the end of this module, you’ll have completed your first crochet pieces and gained the confidence to keep exploring bigger and more creative projects.

Creativity and Advanced Sewing
This module takes your crochet beyond the basics and introduces creative and advanced techniques. You will learn how to add personality to your work through decorative stitches and embroidery, and how to handle more challenging fabrics like silk, denim, or stretchy yarns. You’ll also explore customization skills such as adding pockets, collars, and cuffs to your projects, along with professional finishing touches like linings and pressing. By the end of this module, you’ll not only have the technical ability to create more complex pieces but also the confidence to make your crochet projects truly unique and professional-looking. This is where your creativity begins to shine, turning simple stitches into personalized, polished creations.

From Sewing Skill to Side Business
In this module, you’ll learn how to turn your crochet hobby into a profitable side business. You will explore which crochet products are in demand, from clothing and accessories to home décor and toys. The module will guide you through pricing strategies so you can calculate material costs, factor in your time, and add a fair profit margin. You’ll also learn where to source materials affordably, how to package your creations attractively, and how to track profit and loss with simple cost logs. By the end of this module, you’ll not only know how to make crochet items but also how to sell them with confidence, ensuring your craft can become a reliable source of income.
