Learners will also have the opportunity to learn how to create lacy patterns in their work along with knitted flowers. In the crochet element, learners will cover double and treble stitches and how to create other stitches building on those basics. Learners with cover how to increase and decrease and how to create different patterns within their work through the use of different stitches along with how to crochet in spirals. There will also be an opportunity to create crochet flowers, enabling learners to compare those with flowers they have knitted. There will be a number of weeks where the learners will have the opportunity to undertake projects of their choice using the skills they have learnt.
