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.

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.

“Teacher was lovely and very patient with my 10 year old. She explained the process really well and split her time well between participants. It was never a bother to ask for help. My daughter left very happy and excited to get crocheting on her own.”

“Sam was my crotchet tutor. She is so patient and helped me to hold the hook/yarn correctly. I was amazed at the progress I made. I would recommend the 1 to 1 lesson with Sam. I will go away to practice and definitely book another lesson with Hobbycraft to be able to progress with more difficult stitches. Thank you Sam x”

“I really enjoyed the session as it helped me to gain some crochet skills and knowledge. I made some granny squares as I needed them for a blanket that I was making for my friend. The teacher was amazing as she was patient with both myself and another lady and she is so inspiring and love her crochet work.”
