Crochet Teacher Application

Overview

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Crochet Teacher to teach crochet to students of all levels — from absolute beginners picking up a hook for the first time, to more advanced crocheters refining their craft.

A solid, confident command of crochet is mandatory and non-negotiable. Candidates who are not completely confident in their crochet skills will not be considered.

Candidates who can teach a wide range of projects — garments, accessories, amigurumi, blankets and granny squares — will be given preference.

Key Responsibilities & Required Skills

  • Teaching fundamentals: guide students from foundational stitches (chain, slip stitch, single, half-double, double, treble) through to reading patterns, shaping, and finishing.
  • Project range: comfortable teaching accessories (scarves, beanies, bags), amigurumi, blankets / granny squares, and ideally wearable garments.
  • Pattern literacy: read, follow, and explain written patterns; adjust for gauge/tension, yarn weight, and hook size.
  • Finishing skills: seaming, weaving in ends, blocking, and neat edging.
  • Teaching experience: previous teaching, or a proven ability to mentor and guide learners, is preferred.
  • Patience & student support: a genuine passion for teaching is a must. Students learn at different paces, and this role rewards patience and encouragement.
