So you’ve made a pile of gorgeous granny squares… now what?
Joining motifs is the step that turns individual crochet pieces into blankets, garments, cushions and more. In this class you’ll learn several ways to join crochet motifs and understand how each method changes the look and structure of your finished project. By trying the techniques yourself, you’ll gain the confidence to choose the best joining method for your projects and create neat, professional-looking results.
