What to Expect at Hooked Academy
Classes (Beginner to Advanced)
Structured, skill-building lessons designed to take you from “never held a hook” to confident maker. Each class focuses on one clear outcome, so you always leave with a new stitch, technique, or finished mini-project.
How it works:
- 60–120 minute sessions (virtual or in-store)
- Small groups for real-time feedback
- Supply list provided
- Step-by-step demos, live Q&A, and simple take-home guides
Who it’s for:
- Total beginners who want a friendly start
- Returning makers brushing up on fundamentals
- Intermediate/advanced crocheters leveling up skills (texture, shaping, garments)
What you’ll learn:
- Technical: Tension control, stitch anatomy, increases/decreases, reading patterns/charts
- Practical: Yarn weights/fibers, hook sizes, blocking/finishing, fixing common mistakes
- Creative: Combining colors, choosing patterns, adapting designs to your style
Why you’ll love it:
Clear progress, supportive instruction, and projects that actually get finished. Replays available for virtual classes where noted.
Social Sessions (Community Stitch-Alongs)
What it is:
A relaxed, low-pressure meetup to stitch together, swap tips, and stay motivated. Think: cozy, chatty, and judgment-free—perfect for keeping your crochet habit joyful.
