Kids Level 2: Crochet Amigurumi

Welcome back to the wonderful world of crochet! This class is for kids ages 8-12 who have some crochet experience. If your child has never crocheted before, please register them forKids Level 0: Learn to Crochet.

Learn to make your first amigurumi, a little bee! The necessary materials and pattern are included in the cost of the course and will be provided to in the first class.

Classes are held in small groups of up to five students, led by an experienced instructor. To ensure a positive experience for everyone, we ask that participants are able to sit calmly and engage respectfully throughout the session.

These are drop-off classes designed specifically for children and youth—parents and caregivers do not stay during class time. If you are looking to take a class with your child, please register for Parents & Kids Level 0: Learn to Crochet.

Students are supervised at all times, but we ask that parents ensure their child is comfortable in a small group setting before registering. Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before class begins and pick up promptly at the end of the session.
