You've got your yarn, your hooks, and are ready to sit down and start creating that beautiful piece from the pattern you just purchased.  You turn to page 44 and start looking at the pattern... what the heck is HDC?  What direction am I supposed to be working?  There's something that looks like Egyptian hieroglyphics on the next page... what have I done? GAH!!

Fear not intrepid crocheter!  Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby and Craftsy are here to give you all the answers to finding, reading, and understanding crochet patterns.

Yep, Shannon and the folks at Craftsy have been working on another FAB crochet class and this one is all about Reading & Understanding Crochet Patterns.  In fact that's what its called, "Reading & Understanding Crochet Patterns" (direct and to the point!).

This course  was created to teach new crocheters all the skills you need to read and successfully navigate crochet patterns. This will also be a FAB reference tool for the "I've been reading crochet patterns for fourty years" experienced stitchers. Regardless of your skill level you'll be learning tons about the in's and out's of crochet pattern reading and you'll be able to keep the class as an instant reference tool anytime you need it!

Picture
You will learn by watching Shannon complete each stitch, while at the same time seeing the stitch's name, abbreviation, and chart symbols on your screen, so you'll recognize them in multiple formats... That's just the start!

You get to apply what you are learning right away by making the "Modern Sampler Scarf" pattern that comes with the course.  Shannon
 helps you with reading the written pattern AND the chart and how it all translates into actual stitches and rows.  Before you know it you'll be piecing together your own sampler scarf with stitches so true they must have been blessed by a Pink Fairy Armadillo  (which incidentally is a real animal… GAH!). I'll be there with you every step of the way!   

When you’ve completed the entire course, you'll be shocked by how easily you can read through crochet patterns and get to stitching more and more advanced pieces.  Don’t worry about forgetting any of the tips and techniques because the BEST part of all Craftsy classes is you can watch them whenever, and wherever you like and you can watch them as often as you like since your purchase never expires! Have a few minutes to watch a segment? Need to go back and see one of our tips & tricks again? Want to watch that technique one more time to get it juuuuust right? You can do ALL that with a Craftsy class because you own it forever!
