Crochet in A Snap! Working With Super Bulky Yarns

Description Super Bulky yarns are super fun to work with! They work up very quickly and have so much great texture, but sometimes our projects don’t turn out how we had expected them to. Often, we have to choose between a project that has large holes between the stitches or a stiff, unwearable project. But not so with the projects in this class! Crochet designer Brenda K. B. Anderson has created three projects for this class that feature super bulky yarns: a cowl, a beanie, and a headband. Each project features a different stitch pattern that works well for super bulky yarns: showcasing the chunky texture, while minimizing the holes between stitches, as well as allowing for necessary stretch and/or drape for a successful project. Brenda walks you through each step of these projects, from beginning to end, demonstrating all the skills that you will need to know to complete each project successfully. Additionally, all three projects featured in this class serve to showcase many tips and tricks for working with super bulky yarns. Because super bulky yarns vary widely in thickness and texture, Brenda also shows us how to adjust each pattern for a different gauge. This means substituting yarns is not a problem in this class! From creating neat and tidy edges with set-up rows and invisible joins, to techniques for blocking, you will learn loads of new skills for making your super bulky projects polished and beautiful! In a bonus lesson, Brenda shares three more stitch patterns that are great for using with super bulky yarns. By the end of this class, you will have learned a total of 6 different stitch patterns perfect for those thicker yarns, and you will also gain an understanding of what kinds of stitch patterns work the best with super bulky yarns. With over 2 ½ hours of clear video instruction, and three fashion-forward patterns included for hands-on experience, you will be well on your way to gaining a new understanding of how to use super bulky yarns to create fast, fabulous, and wearable projects every time!
