KIDS CHUNKY YARN PILLOW CLASS — BEGINNER
Come for the Pillow. Leave with the SKILL.
Ready to let your kiddo try chunky yarn?
This beginner class is designed specifically for kids ages 10–16 who want to learn how to work with chunky yarn and make something pretty damn cool in the process. They’ll leave with their very own handmade chunky yarn pillow, but just like my adult classes, this isn’t about sitting there and copying what I do until somehow a pillow appears.
I’m going to teach them the skill.
NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED. SERIOUSLY.
Your child does not need to know how to crochet, knit, or work with chunky yarn before coming to class. We’re starting from the beginning. I’ll slow everything down and teach them the foundational stitches and techniques they need before we start building their pillow. They’ll have time to practice, ask questions, make mistakes, fix those mistakes, and actually understand what they’re doing.
Then we’ll put those new skills to work and create their pillow from start to finish.
They learn first. Then we make the cool stuff.
They’ll learn:
Foundational beginner chunky yarn stitches and techniques
How to comfortably work with chunky chenille yarn
How to create the shape and structure of a pillow
How to keep their stitches consistent
How to join and assemble their project
How to stuff and shape their pillow
Why we do things a certain way instead of simply following directions
What common mistakes to watch for
How to recognize when something isn’t looking right
How to fix mistakes without starting the whole thing over
How to properly finish their project
Tips, tricks, and techniques I’ve learned through 20+ years of experience
This class isn't about making everything perfect.
It’s about learning something new, figuring things out, building confidence, and getting that ridiculously satisfying moment at the end when they look at what they made and realize:
“Holy crap. I MADE that.”
And THAT is the good stuff.

Ready to Make One?
Seats are limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Your child doesn’t need to bring yarn, tools, supplies, or know the first darn thing about chunky yarn.
Just send me the kid. I’ll handle the yarn.
They’ll spend the afternoon learning something new, creating with their own two hands, and walk out carrying something they can proudly say:
“Yep. I MADE that.”
'From ‘How the Heck?’ to ‘Look What I Made.’
