What's included in this course?
Begin by getting to know SusiMiu a little better. She talks about how she turned her hobby into a way of life and shares her biggest sources of inspiration.
Next, learn the basic foundations of color with a focus on applications in the crochet world. Your teacher shows you how to mix your own palettes using materials from around the house and to work with various fibers and textures at the same time.
Then turn your attention to practicing some stitches, starting with the simpler ones. Discover different ways of introducing the thread to completely change the result and give your piece more volume. Once you've mastered the basic techniques, experiment with other combinations to create original and groundbreaking textures, including the Even Berry stitch, hemstitching, the crab stitch, and honeycomb lace.
Now it's time to put everything you've learned into practice and bring your unique, colorful sweater to life! Analyze the pattern and get to work crocheting each part: the ribbing, the front, and the back. Move on to join all the pieces and create the neckline before adding the sleeves with a creative twist on the cuffs.
Put the finishing touches on your sweater and wrap everything up by hearing some of SusiMiu's tips on photographing your work and helping your online followers fall in love with your creations.
