SUMMARY:Intermediate Crochet Class: Mushroom Chapstick Holder
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS AN INTERMEDIATE CLASS. BASIC CROCHET KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED. \nMake a crochet mushroom chapstick holder with Alessia! Attach it to your keychain and carry your chapstick with you wherever you go. Or use it as an ornament or bag charm!  \nThis is an intermediate crochet class\, intended for folks who have done some crocheting before. These tiny mushrooms require us to work on a small scale\, which can be tricky for beginner crocheters. \nIf you want to learn how to crochet\, we recommend taking one of Anna’s classes first: link here. \nWe will be using chains and single crochet to make these mini mushrooms\, so make sure you know those stitches. We’ll be using magic circles too\, but no worries if you haven’t done that before – we can teach you! All materials will be provided.
