Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Course The instructor starts (within the first minute of the course) with an outline of what you already need to know, in order to be able to make the projects in the course. If you have worked through the other crochet courses on Wondrium, you will have these skills. I found this very useful. There are some courses that are more advanced but that isn't always clear until you are already invested. So, I really liked this feature. Separately, the instruction was clear and I was able to make all of the projects. My only crochet experience prior was taking the 2 or 3 other basic courses offered on Wondrium and working through those projects. So, if you are at least an advanced beginner, you should be able to follow.
