Our Learn to Crochet classes are multi-session courses for absolute beginners. Beginning at the beginning with a slip-knot and learners find out how to create fabric using just a crochet hook and yarn
There are four sessions, each based around learning basic skills
Each session builds upon skills learned in the previous one beginning from absolute novice and ending with the skills to produce basic crochet items
For details of each session see below
All sessions need to be booked in advance and take a maximum of four students
Basic beginner skills. At the end of the class participants will be able to make a chain and crochet in doubles to make a plain dishcloth
How to make taller stitches. At the end of the class, participants will have the skills to make half trebles, trebles, clusters and shells to make a more intricate cloth
No more from straight lines and monochrome. At the end of the class, participants will be able to crochet ripples in multiple colours
Crocheting in the round. At the end of the class, participants will be able to crochet flat circles and granny squares
These workshops are not for absolute beginners (unless otherwise stated) but enthusiastic novices will enjoy them, together with more experienced crocheters.
Previous experience of knitting or crochet is helpful but not essential as our four week course starts with the basics so is fine for absolute novices
