Crochet Stephen the Seagull! 6/17 & 7/1 4pm-5pm

Join us for a seaside-inspired crochet class as we make the absolutely adorable Stephen Seagull! 🌊🐦 Complete with his tiny red fisherman’s cap and coastal charm, Stephen is ready to swoop into your project bag and steal the show.

In this guided class, students will work through the construction and assembly of this playful amigurumi project while learning tips and techniques for shaping, stuffing, and finishing crochet toys. Whether perched on a shelf, gifted to a beach-loving friend, or paired with his ocean buddies, Stephen is guaranteed to bring a smile.

Each kit includes the pattern, beautiful 100% organic cotton yarn, and all necessary supplies to complete the project (excluding crochet hook). Stephen measures approximately 13 cm tall and is made using a 2.5 mm crochet hook.

Come stitch, laugh, and create your own tiny seaside companion with us!

About the instructor Karen Johnson:

Knitting has been one of the most fun, relaxing, calming, and rewarding parts of my life for more than 50 years. I’ve always loved crafting, but knitting and crochet are the crafts my heart always comes back to. I learned to crochet first, then discovered knitting a few years later, and the rest is history.

Before COVID, I attended many retreats, classes, and fiber festivals, including Rhinebeck, Maryland Sheep & Wool, SAFF, and Stitches events, where I connected with an incredible community of makers and formed lifelong friendships. One of my greatest joys has been sharing my love of knitting with others and helping people discover the creativity, comfort, and sense of accomplishment that comes from making something with your own hands.

Knitting is more than a hobby to me. It’s a lifelong passion, a creative outlet, and a meaningful way to connect with others.
