Join us for Taste of Crochet: Granny Squares with Connie Lee Lynch.
Take your crochet skills to the next level with one of the most iconic motifs in fiber arts! Crochet Designer and Fiber Artist Connie Lee Lynch will guide you through the construction of the timeless granny square. Building on the foundations of basic crochet stitches, you will learn how to work in the round from the center out and practice changing colors.
We will also explore the modular nature of these squares, discussing how they can be joined together to build everything from retro-inspired blankets and bags to modern garments.
The supply fee covers a curated kit that includes two different shades of yarn to practice color-changing techniques, but students are welcome to bring their favorite supplies from home, including any yarns they are excited to use. This workshop is best suited for those who have some experience crocheting already and are comfortable with basic stitches like the chain and either single or double crochet.
Some experience in crocheting is recommended. Students should be comfortable with the slip knot, chain stitches, and either single or double crochet stitches.
Supply Fee Includes:
- Crochet hook
- 2 skeins of yarn
- 2 stitch markers
- 1 darning needle
What to Bring:
- $25 supply fee
- The supply kit will include everything needed to practice granny squares with two colors, but students are encouraged to bring their own favorite supplies from home, as well.
- Drink or snack (optional)
- Wear comfortable clothing.

How do I get to the Studio? From the Chinatown Gateway Garage, take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk to the large double doors on the left. Enter the gallery and turn left; we are the last door on the left, past the kitchen. If you are parked elsewhere, walk up the steps to the DAC gift shop, go past it to find the elevator, and follow the instructions above to access the studio. There is a handicap ramp if you cannot walk up the stairs for the DAC building on the Nu'uanu entrance side. Walk towards the street lights, and you will see the ramp; you will need to walk through the courtyard to the elevator.
