The sessions are free and open to the public, and are scheduled to be held downstairs in the conference room at the Skowhegan Free Public Library, 9 Elm St., according to a news release from Mary Cayford with the club.

Learn to Crochet with Freda Toneatti is set for 1-3 p.m. on the following five Mondays: Feb. 13 and 27, March 6, 13 and 20. People should register for the entire series. Those who register will need one moderate, aluminum, crochet hook (H, I, J or K) and one skein of four-ply, light-colored yarn.

The library will provide yarn and hooks for participants to use there. Those who prefer can bring their own. Patterns and instructions also will be provided.
