ATTENTION CROCHET BEGINNERS!

Are you ready to finally read crochet patterns without headache and a tangled yarn mess ?

 

(hint: You know you are!)

Join me for a private training workshop + Q&A where you'll learn how to decipher any crochet pattern.

​Hurry! Limited seating available to make this training as valuable as possible to you!

LET'S GET REAL:

You’ve been wanting to follow crochet patterns, but whenever you sit down to make it happen, you’re immediately overwhelmed.

  • You have no idea how to even get started: ​Do you start at Row 1? How do you select your materials? Should you read through the entire pattern first?

 

  • You're confused not knowing how to decipher all the symbols -- What does (, ], * mean?
  • You're frustrated by all the abbreviations you can't make sense of.

 

 

 

 

  • You're lost not knowing what half of the pattern information even means: Gauge? Blocking? What language is this??

Ugh, it's overwhelming even thinking about it!

NOW I WANT YOU TO TAKE A MINUTE AND IMAGINE...

  • Going out proudly wearing your handmade cardigan

​(that actually fits and looks store-bought)

  • Making everyone in your family the perfect personal handmade gift this year. 

(let's face it - matching scarves are great and all but ... picking the right pattern for each person is part of the gift.)

  • Spending all your crochet time actually crocheting.

(relaxed knowing what you're doing, what information you need and where to find it)

  • Being able to accept making your daughter the sweater pattern she's been dreaming off.

(and she'll actually wear it non-stop)

All without the endless headaches and tangled yarn messes of trying to understand what you're supposed to do next.

Sounds like something you could get on board with?

 

If so, then let me introduce you to your new bestie!

​​Ready to read crochet patterns like a pro?

Have we not formally met? If not, let's do something about it!

Hey! I'm Hortense

​ 

Mom, avid baker and lover of all things yarn (he I even have a pattern Etsy shop with over 2000 sales ;) )

 

 

I'm betting we have a thing or two in common.

 

A few years ago, bored making the one blanket I knew on repeat, I taught myself to read crochet patterns.

 

I spent a gazillion hours looking for patterns matching what I wanted and the yarn I had on hand only to get stuck halfway not understanding any of the crazy abbreviations and symbols.

 

With time and practice, I slowly got better at understanding the directions but I still ended up with dozens of half-finished projects hidden in the back of my closet.

 

But then I started to look at all the information in the pattern, made a plan before starting a new project and stopped crocheting blindly.

 

That's when things finally changed.

 

Fast forward to today and I'm designing my own patterns.

 

I created this workshop because I want to help new crocheters dive into the world of crochet patterns without the stress, headache and tangled yarn messes I had to go through.

 

...and I can't wait to show you how it's done!

​Your life BEFORE Proficient in Patterns:

 

  • Frustrated your cardigan didn't turn out anything like the pattern pictures and you can't gift it to your daughter as you planned.

 

  • Confused about all these parenthesis, numbers and crazy abbreviations in the shawl pattern you're desperately trying to decipher.

 

  • Lost not knowing what half of the pattern information even means: Gauge? Blocking? What language is this??

 

  • Panicked when your friend asks you to make that pattern's pretty blanket for her new grand-daughter.

 

  • Crying over a giant pile of tangled yarn from undoing your project for the third time.

Your life AFTER Proficient in Patterns:

 

  • Confident tackling the sweater pattern you've been drooling over knowing what information you need and how to use it.

 

  • Motivated to learn new stitches and techniques now that you can follow any crochet pattern.

 

  • Relaxed spending all your craft time actually crafting and recharged after a good yarn session.

 

  • Proud of all the handmade gifts you've made your friends and family (they even fit nicely!).

 

  • Looking forward to the next new pattern you'll tackle (when you finish your 3 current work in progress that is). 

(I think I know which one I'd pick every time!)
