crocheting class again

This week was part 2 of the 3 class-course. My students have practiced single stitches across, turning chains and came back to the class with nice rectangular patch of crocheted fabric. It was time to show them crocheting in rounds. It went smoother than the last class. Their stitches have become more stable and they are able to count their stitches. We started with 4-chains, then tried slip stitch, and crocheted eight stitches into the round. We did three more rounds and practiced increases for the rounds. It was wonderful. My students can now make circles!!! Circles are great because with that, you can just modify teeny bit to make hats. So they are ready to make things! I am going to teach decrease and long stitches (doubles, trebles) next. I hope the next class is going to be as fun as this one.
