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.

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.

An excellent class with a small group of four, which made it very personal and supportive. Charlie was a fantastic instructor—patient, engaging, and clear in his explanations. His passion for crochet was evident throughout.

Absolutey brilliant. I am a complete beginner and needed a lot of help, but the teacher (Scooby) was fantastic and patient. They provided a lovely bag with a crochet hook and 3 balls of yarn, with instructions to also use at home. I'd highly recommend this as a gift.

Charlie was an amazing crochet teacher- calm and kind! He gave clear instructions which he was able to repeat. He had the perfect pace of instruction and was constantly reassuring and offering praise to everyone within the workshop. Thank you, Charlie
