This Granny ain't no square! Join us for this fun one-day workshop where we'll learn to make Floral Granny Squares, a great next step up for those who've mastered the standard square block. (Sign up to take our class for that one here!)
A perennial favorite of crocheters as far back as the late 19th century, granny squares have been made in infinite permutations and design styles over the centuries. This version of the floral square, designed by Cleo especially for this class, is funky, chunky, and 3-dimensional, with a blooming motif that pops out of the block's center. Master the basics, and in two hours you'll leave with a whole bouquet!

Starting a granny square with a magic circle, making triple crochet petals and how to make them three-dimensional, converting a circular shape into a square, joining granny squares together.
REQUIRED YARN - available for purchase at the shop
You can use a variety of yarns to make these granny squares. Come a bit early to class and we can help you pick out the right kind and amount for what you want to make!
REQUIRED TOOLS - available for purchase at the shop
Depends on the yarn you pick out for your project. Bring a range of hooks if you have them, or we can pick out the right size hook for your project.

Photography
When you attend a class at our shop you agree to be recorded and photographed during the class. If you would like to request that your face, hands, or body not be in any photos or videos that we share on social media please send an email requesting so any time prior to the start time of the class to hello@cleosyarnshop.com. You may still be recorded or photographed during the class but we will respect your request that the videos or images of you not be shared online.
Scholarship Fund
Our Scholarship Fund is contributed to by the shop and our community to help those who need it attend our classes and events. You can read about why we started the fund here.
When signing up for a class or event, anyone is welcome to purchase a Scholarship Fund ticket at a discount as funds allow. When a Scholarship Fund ticket is purchased, the amount discounted is taken from the Scholarship Fund to pay the shop, the shop's staff, and the teacher or host of the class or event the full regular ticket price.
If you are considering requesting a Scholarship Fund ticket but aren't sure whether it's for you or not, it probably is! The folks who have contributed to the Scholarship Fund wanted to contribute and want the funds to be used! And the lovely people putting on this class or event are still getting paid the full amount to do it. Please only pay full price if you feel you have enough to do so.
That said, we also ask that you be mindful of the amount and frequency of requests you make from the fund. Making sure funds are available to as many people as possible is a collaborative effort, so we'll check in with you and you check in with us!
If you'd like to use the Scholarship Fund, you can do so by calling the shop (929-529-7542), emailing us (hello@cleosyarnshop.com), or coming into the shop and requesting a Scholarship Ticket. We will ask you how much you are able to pay, and the funds available will cover the rest.
