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 lovely.. small enough that we could all easily see what was being taught and ask lots of questions! Our teacher was very friendly, helpful and encouraging. I came away able to do the basic crochet stitches and feel much more confident about crocheting. Thank you

Really enjoyed the class. The teacher (sorry can't remember her name) at Harlow was excellent. Easy to chat to and very patient giving both class and personal attention when needed. Given a goody bag to start us off. Will definitely book further courses once I have practised enough!

My teacher was very patient and I learnt the very basics of crochet. It was a fun and friendly workshop. I did not have a gift card, but booked on the Hobbycraft website.

I really enjoyed the class!. Ellie was a great teacher, she explained and then showed us what we needed to do. Ellie also gave us individual attention to check what we were doing and correct any mistakes. Would recommend this for absolute beginners, as I was.

I'm a basic knitter, but wanted to learn crochet. Completed the beginners course and managed to master the basics, but knew I went wrong somewhere. Went home and practiced and managed to gasp the concept of the double stitch and treble stitch. Nice small group of four. Thanks Ellie, very patient knowledgeable teacher!
