This 90-minute beginner crochet workshop offers a welcoming, hands-on introduction to crochet through a simple, functional project. Participants will learn how to hold a crochet hook, create a slip knot and chain, and work basic stitches while making the Castle Rock crochet key chain, a momento of the City of Golden. Designed for absolute beginners, this class focuses on building confidence, creativity, and foundational skills. Participants will leave with a finished or nearly finished piece and the knowledge needed to continue crocheting on their own. <\/span><\/p>\n
