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.

“Really enjoyed this session. The class size was small so plenty of opportunity to get support from our wonderful tutor, Emma. The pace was tailored for each of us, who had varying levels of experience (from none to people who haven't crotcheted since they were 5!) Also were given a lovely brew too. Would definitely recommend this class for newbies and anyone who wants a refresh”

“The teacher was extremely patient, as I had never ever tried crochet before. And as a knitter it took me a long time to get the gang of it. Thoroughly recommended”

“We had a great time learning to crochet. The teacher was super patient with us as myself and my friend were pretty bad to begin with!! But she taught in a very encouraging and positive way that worked for us both.”

“Great lesson. Treated us individually to help all of us get better at our own pace. Been to introductions before at other places but I'm now ready to move on to more complicated patterns with the skills I've learnt today and tips I've been given.”

“Teacher tried hard to go round and give 1 on 1 time with each person, and then in between that was good time to practice. We didn't learn lots but I was happy with the pace - any more would have been too much in the time and feel like I got a handle on the basics. I really enjoyed myself - thanks Karen for the lovely workshop! Glad she offered us tea as well :)”

“My daughter had a fantastic time at a beginner’s crochet session. Nobody else was booked into the session and so she had one-to-one tuition. Her tutor was very encouraging throughout the session about her skills and the progress she made. She was set at ease with lots of praise and conversation. It was taken at her pace and opportunities were taken to challenge her to further her skills. The teacher patiently showed her what she needed to do to master new stitches breaking down each stage of creating the stitch. I would highly recommend these sessions as I felt it was good value for the money. We were given 2 balls if wool, crochet hooks and a cloth bag included in the price. She left inspired to practice further!”
