Join Doll from Chaos Crochet for a workshop on making a beanbag crochet animal. This project is suitable for advanced beginner-level or intermediate-level crocheters and is not intended for complete beginners. It is for ages 13 and up. Participants will use four stitch types and minor sewing and learn to incorporate an additional component: a wash-safe bean bag insert. The library provides all supplies; attendees will receive a copy of the pattern to take home!

**About the Presenter:** Doll is a stay-at-home mother of two, one of whom she homeschools. She has a cat, two dogs, and a pet Canadian (which normal people refer to as a husband). Originally from Maine, Doll spent several years in Canada before settling in Pennsylvania. She is an avid reader, crafter, and gamer, always making sure to have a project with her while on the go. Doll learned to crochet from her mother at 10, starting with chains and slip stitches. She picked up the craft again during the COVID-19 pandemic and discovered that the repetitive nature of crocheting helps her de-stress. Since then, crocheting has become an integral part of her everyday life, and she wants to share that joy with you!
