Step-by-Step Approach

Demo first: the instructor demonstrates each stitch slowly (close-up & mirrored), then repeats at normal speed.
Break it down: every move is split into three parts, hand placement, tool movement, and repetition.
Guided practice: after the demo you try it while the instructor circulate for one-on-one help.
Targeted troubleshooting: instructor shows how to fix 3–4 common mistakes (dropping a stitch, tight loops, uneven edges).
Written + visual aids: every participant receives a simple take-home sheet with step diagrams and a short, beginner pattern.
Homework & next steps: short, achievable practice tasks between sessions with encouragement and tips for where to get affordable supplies.
Culturally sensitive & trauma-informed: teaching style is patient, respectful, and welcoming.
