Thinking of teaching crochet? At a loss as to where to start? Well, below are files to help you get started. If you have done it differently that's great! If you have been to a class conducted differently, no problem. Note that there are no refunds on pdf files since a person could copy them and then ask for refund.
Note that if you are teaching a class where you need to make copies for each student, you must purchase them. You may print them and use them for your class. There is no limit to the number of students or classes. You may not post the files on a web site. You may also provide students with a link to the video tutorials on my YouTube channel if they need more help.
Please contact me if you have a special circumstance as in Girl Scouts, homeschool groups, church groups and such where you are volunteering your time or teaching folks to do charity work. I realize that people do lie, but I choose to believe that most are honest. Those who are not, well that is between you and God. I reserve the right to make exceptions as I see fit.
My daughter conducted a small class with some of her friends. We did many of these things for her class. The class was free, but the students paid for their own hooks. I purchased all the how-to leaflets so they would have the same one and they would be in on time. For Christmas we got them each a small Rubbermaid container to hold their supplies. This might work for a girl’s club, like Girl Scouts, Camp Fire or Keepers at Home. As a first project, or after the girls learn the basics, they could do a charity project. Also, clubs usually have paid dues which could defray expenses. Sometimes local companies will donate supplies towards this sort of thing.
I have also taught Community Education class as well as many private students. My choices depended to a great degree on who my students were - age and skill level.
Let me know if there is something else you'd like to see.
The two files below are free for everyone. Not for resale. All files are pdf files and require a reader to open.
Here is a list the pdf files available for purchase. Payment can be made to my paypal account crochetcabana AT gmail DOT com. Please e-mail me at that address detailing what it is you would like to purchase.
You are not allowed to change anything in the pdf file. If you find an error, please call it to my attention and I will correct the file and send a replacement free of charge.
If you do not want a packet, contact me and we'll work out something for individual files. You can use the files as many times as you want, to teach as many students as you want to, but keep my copyright info on the copied sheets. If you need the files again, you will have to purchase them again. I have set these up in packets for convenience, but individual files can be purchased.
