Crochet Rosebud Lei - 4 Days of Aloha

Hello all! This is for folks interested in making the lei that we will be using for 4 Days of Aloha. Everyone is welcome to learn even if you do not plan to go to Vancouver, WA with us.

We will have in-person and virtual teaching/crochet together sessions (dates TBD). We do want to make sure all our lei look the same, so please attend at least one session before making your final lei. Chris and I must approve your lei, meaning that you may need to redo it if needed.

We may use this lei for performances, so even if you do not plan to attend 4 Days of Aloha, we will still need to approve it.
