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.

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 can’t believe how much I have learnt in just 1.5h. I had given it a try (several tries, actually) years ago with YouTube videos and always failed to pick it up and to enjoy it. Our teacher was friendly and knowledgeable, and she adjusted to the flow of the class with both group and individual instructions and feedback. I feel like I have the basics now, and I am keen and ready to learn more and embark on my first projects. Thank you!

Ailidh was fantastic. Great at explaining and very patient. She gave us all our tools and step by step sheets before explaining each stich, what it would be used for then demonstrating the stich. She took time to come round and watch as we did the stitch providing help and advice. Very friendly and patient. Great workshop.

Ailidh was a great teacher. My daughter has been wanting to learn to crochet for a while and asked me to accompany her to the class. I am the least crafty person in the world and Ailidh even managed to teach me how to do 3 different styles of crochet! Ailidh has a very helpful and personable approach. She is a real credit to Hobbycraft at Fort Kinnaird and we hope to attend another one of her classes in the future.
