By using carefully chosen stitches and strategic color changes, you can mimic the design of a graphed image with your crocheted project. This means you can design customized projects that will mean something extra special to you or a loved one.

Once you start designing graphs for your crochet projects, I promise you won't be able to stop!
In this Graphghan Boot Camp course, I'll share with you my easy 5-step guide on how to plan, design and make a graphed crochet project from start to finish. We'll discuss measuring for size, calculating yardage, designing your graphs, and so much more.
Now, I know that graphghans might look intimidating, but I'll be with you every step of the way. This course was designed for crocheters of all skill levels! Whether you've just learned how to single crochet or if you're a seasoned professional looking to try something a little different, this course will show you step-by-step how to design and crochet your graphghan from start to finish.
