Gillian, our teacher, was very patient. She obviously has a passion for crochet and was enthusiastic about passing on her skills to a complete novice.

I recently attended the beginners crochet class at Hobbycraft in Chester and absolutely loved it! The teacher was so helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, making everyone feel comfortable from the start. She explained each step clearly, demonstrated the stitches at a good pace, and was always happy to go over things again if anyone got stuck. The class size was small enough that we each got some individual attention, which really helped build confidence. All the materials were provided, and we got to take home our practice yarn and hook to keep practising afterwards — a lovely touch! It was a relaxed and enjoyable session, perfect for anyone who’s completely new to crochet or wants to refresh the basics. I left feeling inspired and ready to start my first proper project. Highly recommend this class for beginners looking for a friendly introduction to crochet!

My daughter and I really enjoyed the workshop. We are total novices, and this was the perfect beginners class. The teacher was very patient. We learnt how to 'cast on' , make a chain and do double and treble stitches. We were also shown how to increase and decrease and change colours - but that was a bit much for us to take in! You leave with your crocheted 'work in progress' your hook, two balls of wool and some printed instructions. Its harder than it looks, but I'm sure we'll get there, we just need to practice, practice, practice!

Teacher was very nice and had great experience. Both me and my mum attended a private lesson and she was able to help both of us despite us needing different advice. However I wish that the Hobbycraft vouchers could be used for these classes, only classbento ones can be used.
