This is a fun activity in Leeds

Get hooked on crochet with our beginner’s tutorial! Enjoy this relaxing craft as you get to grips with the simple skills you’ll need to stitch beautiful designs, with one of our craft experts on hand to guide you through the steps.

This workshop provides a wonderful introduction to the world of crochet, perfect if you’re a complete beginner. Through the course of the workshop, you’ll learn double stitch and treble stitch. You’ll also be shown how to create a chain, working in rows to create a tension square.

You’ll have a craft kit included, ensuring you’ve got the yarn and hook you need. It’s a great opportunity to pick up techniques you can then put into practice when you move on to other patterns.

Throughout the tutorial, you will be able to ask any crochet questions you may have.

Please note, our workshop spaces in some stores are located in open areas and we will endeavour to minimise interruption from other crafters.

Keeping everyone safe
At Hobbycraft, we want our workshops to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone. Some workshops are suitable for children, and where this is the case, a parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising their child at all times unless the workshop is clearly stated as suitable for independent attendance. Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

There was only 3 of us in the class, which was good as the teacher could give people individual attention. She was very nice, friendly, chatty and patient (which she needed to be, as myself and my daughter were a bit rubbish. She mentioned at the beginning of the class, that she had been upset by a previous review, that had said she was more of a crochet expert, rather than a crochet teacher, which I can now understand. I say this is a nice way and not a negative towards her at all as she was lovely, but some people are good teachers, and I don't feel Hobbycraft should push people into these roles, who don't feel suited to this type of role. If I was going to suggest anything, I would maybe review how the lessons are carried out - give clear instruction on what you are about to do and how you are going to do it, rather than just showing people, one bit at a time, as it was hard to grasp exactly what we were expected to do. We were simply just copying what the teacher told us, one stitch at a time. I would say the teacher was really nice, but the lessons could maybe be improved slightly.

Lovely patient lady facilitating the session but it was clear that she is a crochet-er and not a teacher. Her instructions and explanations were a bit vague and contradictory. However she was keen to help as much as she could. Clearer very basic instructions would have definitely helped me more.

Really helpful class, I’d tried learning on YouTube before but found it difficult so it was good to have some in person experience. The instructor made sure everyone had some time with her and was helpful at showing where I had gone wrong etc and how to fix it
