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.

I did beginners class to crochet. Teacher(sorry I forgot her name) was brilliant, explained everything really well, was happy to repeat anything we needed, gave group support and individual support. She was friendly and patient. I will definitely practice at home and go back for another class. Highly recommend.

Workshop was very enjoyable. Our tutor spent time explaining what we were to do & came round to us individually to see how we were doing. She was readily available if we were stuck & gave us tips to make life easier for us. She explained what further courses entailed to expand on our knowledge.

It was excellent and fun. There were fewer people than I imagined- but that was a positive. Our teacher, Scooby, was very pleasant, very clear, very helpful, very encouraging. I was pleasantly surprised at receiving a bag containing a hook, 2 balls of yarn and printed help sheets.

The class was wonderful. Both my mum and I have little to no experience crocheting and this class was perfect for complete beginners. You get everything you need provided for you (yarn, hook, instructions). We started with a slip knot and made a chain to begin with. Then moved onto double stitches and trebble stitches. I reccomend the class to anyone wanting to start crochet and for those than learn best with someone teaching them! Our teacher was very patient and explained everything so well! And it was only a class of 4 so there was enough time for everyone to have help when needed. I will be booking the 'Next Steps' class soon! Thank you!

I had fun with 3 other ladies and the teacher. We learnt how to start the crochet, some stitches and how to finish off the piece of work. The teacher "Scoobey" was excellent, helpful, patient and fun! So I will book the next stage of crochet course to learn more
