Sunflowers & Poppies Crochet Class
Long days of summer sunshine, fields of flowers, and happy times will be on your mind as you crochet this beautiful throw blanket. If you’d like a smaller project, the pattern can be modified to create a table runner, throw pillow, or shawl/wrap. Intended for intermediate-advanced students, the class will introduce you to a variety of novel techniques to create these gorgeous floral motifs. While the stitches will be familiar, the methods will likely be new to you, so come prepared to learn a lot!
