Welcome to Crochet Skill Building!

I'm Salena Baca, founder of the American Crochet Association, crochet instructor, and author. I've been working in the crochet industry since 2009, and I created this workshop to help you take your crochet skills to the next level—whether you just started or are looking to build your skills.

In this workshop, I'll focus on the four levels of crochet skill, and in building your essential skills through each level with hands-on practice. From mastering stitches, terminology, and techniques to refining pattern-reading and project finishing, each section is crafted to deepen your understanding and expand your abilities. Whether you're working to improve precision, tackle new projects, or simply strengthen your foundation, this workshop will give you the tools to succeed.

To get started, introduce yourself in the comments! Share a bit about your crochet journey and let us know what you think your current level of skill is. I’m here to help you grow every step of the way!

Peace + Love + Crochet
