You don't have to be a crochet expert to make sweaters, cardigans and tops you love wearing...

 

There are 4 crucial steps that need to happen before you can start crocheting a garment you're truly proud of for yourself:

1. Select the right pattern for you​​

2. Figure out your size​​​

3. Select your materials​​​​​​

4. Make a swatch to check your gauge

Selecting the right pattern for you can make or break your garment

Getting this right and picking a style that fits you can be the difference between a failed project hiding in the back of your closet and your new favorite sweater.

 

It's also why so many people get stuck and give up on crochet garments.

MEET YOUR HOST

Hey! I'm Hortense

My mom taught me to knit, one summer when I was bored on the beach at age 10. From there my love (some would say obsession) of yarn was born and I never stopped stitching. 

 

A few years ago I started to dig into the online world of yarn and discovered so many techniques, constructions and concepts I had never heard about before. That's when a pattern tricked me into teaching myself to crochet and I got hooked.

 

Slowly I started to move away from following patterns until 2018 when I finally launched my blog Knitting with Chopsticks where I share my easy knitting & crochet patterns. 

 

My goal is to break down knitting and crochet so they become simple enough for you to create exactly what you want, the way you want it through my patterns, blog, ebooks, courses, the Stitching Squad and summits like this one. 


And making your first garments you'll actually want to wear is the perfect place to start!

YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS? I'VE GOT YOU COVERED

How do I know wether this bootcamp is right for me?

If you're curious about crocheting garments, this event is for you! We'll be specifically talking to beginner crocheters and focusing on making your first garment you'll love to wear, but anyone else who wants to get better at crocheting garments is welcome to join us.

When is this event happening?

The bootcamp runs from Monday July 21 to Friday July 25th with live sessions happening at 10 am ET each day. You'll also be able to join our community as soon as you register, so you can join in on the fun right away!

 

What materials do I need?

You don't need any specific materials to follow the classes.

 

In most of the classes, the designer will share her knowledge and expertise to help you make the best choices and plan your knit wearables. Therefore, I'd recommend a pen and paper to write down any ideas you have while watching the classes.

 

For the more hands-on classes teaching a specific skill or technique, I recommend having some worsted weight yarn (preferably in a lighter color) and 4 or 5 mm / US 6 or 8 knitting needles on hand to try out any new technique / skill during the class.

What if I'm not able to attend live?

While I recommend that you join live to make progress alongside others and have the chance to ask questions, you will have access to replays for 24h so you can catch up, take action, and feel confident to start your first garment you'll love to wear.

How much time will I need to dedicate each day?

Each live training will be around 15-20 minutes long. Since the purpose of this event is to make real progress, I also recommend setting aside 1-2h afterwards to take action on what you'll learn.

Are the sessions captions or transcribed?

Yes. All sessions will have live closed captioning enabled and replays will also be captioned. You'll also have access to written lesson notes.

I'm not on Facebook, can I still participate?

Yes! All the lessons will be live on Zoom and replays made available on the website. You will not be able to win prizes and connect with other crocheters as much without Facebook, but it's definitely not a requirement to participate.

 

I still have questions!

If you still have questions, I encourage you to go ahead and register. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Facebook group, which you'll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket.

 

However, if you need to ask me a question before registering, just send me an email at hortense@knittingwithchopsticks.com.

Join the Crochet Closet Bootcamp and get on the fast track to crocheting sweaters, cardigans and tops you'll LOVE wearing.
