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.

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.

The class was brilliant - our teacher Scooby was so friendly and explained everything in a way that was really easy to understand. Very useful for learning the foundations of crochet, and very beginner-friendly

Charlie was such a patient teacher and went at our speed, I never felt rushed and he spent his time evenly with the whole class. It was such a relaxed atmosphere and I had a great morning. We covered the basics of starting with our chain and then learnt two stitches. I practiced as soon as I got home and once I’ve practiced some more, I’ll be booking onto the Granny Square course, I can’t wait!

The teacher was patient and helpful as both my daughter and I were beginners. My daughter is now crocheting all sorts for her friends and she is really having fun.
