This is a fun activity in Edinburgh

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.

Please note, our workshop spaces in some stores are located in open areas and we will endeavour to minimise interruption from other crafters.

Please contact your chosen store if you are left-handed to ensure the colleague hosting will be able provide the correct support needed alternatively all of our online session's can support a left-handed learner, BOOK HERE

This workshop is also available as a private workshop for group bookings of 4+.

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 teacher was lovely, and it was a good introduction to several crochet stitches. However, I would have found it easier to learn if the stitches were taught through small projects, such as a mini scarf, a simple circle or a square. This would help beginners understand where to place stitches, how to make corners and how everything comes together, while leaving with something they’ve made.”

“The class was really helpful for a complete beginner like me. The teacher was really nice and patient. The only thing that could be added to the class is how to use the crochet itself after the technique we are thought to use which is very helpful to learn how the stitches work. I also really enjoyed doing the class in the shop where we could get advice on what to buy. Thank oh so very much!☀️”

“Brilliant class & Victoria the teacher was lovely, very patient & explained the process well. Only reason 1 star has been deducted is because I was given a Hobbycraft voucher which states online courses are included, but this is not the case!”

“What a lovely time we had with Anna. The class was small (3 people) which enabled Anna to spend lots of time with us individually. Her explanations were clear and she went over things when needed. To top it all off we went home with a bag, wool, crochet hook and instructions. Anna was even kind enough to offer help with our future products should we need it. We will definitely return to try other workshops. Thank you Hobbycraft!!!”

“I really enjoyed my beginner’s guide to crochet class! The teacher made me feel at ease and made the class fun which is a bonus. Our teacher was very knowledgeable and was easy to approach if we weren’t sure or thought we were making mistakes. Highly recommended this class to anyone interested in learning to crochet!”
