In Lessons 8 and 9, you'll expand your stitch repertoire with the half double crochet (hdc) and treble crochet (tr), opening up new possibilities in your crafting projects. Lesson 10 is dedicated to teaching you how to crochet in both joined and continuous rounds, techniques that are invaluable for making items like hats and seamless garments.

A special 14-day masterclass is also offered, designed to guide you through crocheting a scarf from start to finish, perfect for the complete beginner who is ready to tackle their first substantial project.
