Math for Crocheters
Part 2
What you need to know about "granny square" math
Find out all about modular math
You will learn how to:
- Measure gauge on squares worked from the center out
- Measure gauge in other center-out shapes
- Crochet a flat circle
- Create center-out triangles, squares, and hexagons
- Create non-flat shapes in the round from the center out
- Design modularly, using squares and other motif shapes to create a project
- Calculate yarn needed for a multi-color, modular project
What do I need to know first?
Although everything we will be doing is elementary arithmetic, you do need to be familiar with some basic crochet concepts and some basic math concepts.
- How gauge affects fabric and stitch counts;
- How to calculate yarn usage from a swatch;
- How to crochet simple motifs from the center out;
- Several ways of joining motifs, such as sewn seams, crocheted seams, and join-as-you-go.
I strongly encourage you to take Math for Crocheters, Part 1 before taking this course.
No matter what, don't panic over the word "math"! Edie has plenty of experience teaching both math-phobic and math-lovers. You'll be fine.
