How to Become a Certified Crochet Instructor

Becoming a Certified Crochet Instructor takes time and effort, but it is totally worth it. In this video I share the details of my journey, why you might want to enroll, and the costs involved.
You can find all the links from the video in my latest blog post here: lepetitsaintcrochet.com/2019/...

If you look through the comments you will find a response from someone from the Craft Yarn Council. They have given the email to contact them if you are outside the US! Hope that helps!

[@snitchesgetstitchescrochet9371]

I'm totally going to look into this! Im so excited!! I've always been worried that I dont "crochet the right way".. hold my hook wrong etc... so this will be perfect just to hone my skills as well as start teaching! I've had a few homeschool groups ask me to teach...

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

You should totally do it! I learned so much from this course! 🧶🧶🧶

Yes, I had heard of the program through the Craft Yarn Council years ago. I'm thinking of teaching crochet at a school. I found this video from watching your "plan with me" video. I appreciate your detailed info about the program. Seeing your materials makes me even more interested in the program! I like your tip that you'll learn proper techniques. The website mentions the master teacher mentor but doesn't mention the Facebook group. It sounds like a great summer project!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It would make a fantastic summer project! And it really is such a great way to learn the proper techniques for crocheting! 💜

I had never heard of this program until watching your "How to make money form crochet" video, and this was really helpful! I think I'm going to have to learn a few more stitches (I tend to avoid the 3D stitches because they aren't my jam) but this sounds worth doing.

I am watching and the more I see I am getting more and more excited. But I am getting anxious too! Your guidance is so clear, you are definitely an educator. I like your style so clear explanations and to the point! I definitely want to try this. Might be too ambitious now (Sept 2019 and to me practically end of the year) but I forsee it to be a great goal for 2020! For sure. I already saved this video for reference. 🎉🎉👍👏👏👏🎉🎉

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Awww! Thanks so very much, Aida! It's a fantastic program and I'm so glad I took the time to invest in myself. The instructions are very clear and I learned sooooo much!

[@elisha4468]

Would you consider doing some crochet technique videos for beginners? Different stitches and things. Congratulations on becoming an instructor.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks so very much! I have been thinking about doing that! I have a few with my Amigurumi 101 series but not a true "learn how to crochet" series. Bhooked has amazing videos for beginners on her channel and they are very professionally done. Check her out if you haven't already!

[@DawnsDays]

Hi Elise 🤗 how interesting, I don't think I've heard of that in the Netherlands. Do they certify outside of the US? Congratulations on becoming a certified instructor 👏👏👏😘

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Thanks so much, Dawn! I know that it is available to US and Canadian citizens. I don't think those outside those two countries are eligible. I wonder if there are other governing boards like the Craft Yarn Council based in Europe that offer this type of course. I also know that there is a Master Crocheter certificate that you can earn, for those who want to prove proficiency in crochet techniques but aren't interested in the teaching aspect. That is through the Crochet Guild of America, I believe. I will check that out and get back to you!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

This is the info I found about the Master Crocheters Program from the Crochet Guild of America. It doesn't specify any restrictions about other countries like the Certified Crochet Instructor Course does. www.crochet.org/page/MastersInfo

[@sarahguenther3395]

Hello! While the program is primarily only offered to those living in the United States and Canada, we have recently started allowing people from other countries. Please send us an email at [e-mail] for more information! :)

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

@@sarahguenther3395 That is really interesting. I will pass this info on as well. Someone commented on this very issue on the blog post as well! Thanks so much for chiming in!!

I’ve wanted to get certified for the longest time! I found you and I’m an Ilyse (a-lease) too … I stumbled into my niece’s desire to learn crochet yesterday, so I found my missing link; a student to corrupt … so it’s kismet! Don’t you love when the stars align? ✌️💜😜

[@BytheYarn]

I have not heard of this program. How long did you crochet before getting certified? I'm very interested in checking it out. Thanks for sharing.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I can't remember exactly but maybe a year or two? I wasn't a beginner but I Waldo wasn't an advanced crocheter. I learned a lot from it! 🧶🧶🧶

[@sewwebbofyarn9602]

I have thought about this for a long time. Really appreciate this video! I do have a question. I have never blocked before, I didn't know that you can block acrylic yarn. Did you use acrylic for the samples? I taught 5 girls in 1 family a couple of years ago and was really unsure about what I was doing. However they did very well! Oh, another question, is is hard to keep up with the program, do they give you enough time to complete everything? Shawna

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

It's a great program! They give you plenty of time and if you need an extension for some reason they are willing to work with you. I can't remember what kind of yarn I used. They are very specific about what you can use. They are also available to answer questions! 🧶🧶🧶

[@sewwebbofyarn9602]

Thank you! Probably not till after the first of the year, I have projects I'm doing for Christmas. You are so full of interesting information, thank you again!

Hi Elise, I really appreciate the information in this video. Would this be a good way to learn crochet as well? I am a beginner (made and gifted my first amigurumi!). However, I am determined to learn crochet well and to be able to teach it. I live in a small town and don't know of any local resources for learning. What do you suggest for me to get a really solid foundation? Thank you and happy holidays. Enjoy your "it takes a village" Christimas all the more because...village!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Hello, Leslie! And Merry Christmas to you! I definitely learned a lot myself from taking the course. If you feel like you have a firm foundation of the basics then you will be fine to start this course. Good luck to you!!

Hi Elise

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Hello!

[@rebeccaturgeon7189]

I have tryed to contact them over phone and email i just wanted to know if this is online bc on the website there are class times do we have to do the lessons at those times. Its confusing. I want to join but it has to be online for me

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I did it all online. There are a few classes that are in person so when you sign up make sure that you choose the online version. They will send all the information to you via email once you are registered. You will have to send your coursework and samples back to them through the mail for the Master Crocheter to evaluate your work. They will then send it back if you need to do revisions or to return it when you pass. It really is a great program.
