How can I improve my crocheting skills?
​Practice! Whether that's coming to our GBMs regularly, or watching youtube tutorials, practicing with any kind of project will help further your skills! Crochet is very translatable, and once you know how to do all the basic stitches, you can make practically anything! Aim to find comfortable hand placement with your hook and yarn (based on hand dominance).​
