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.

“We booked this beginners crochet class at Hobby Craft in Bolton, it was easy to book online. We got this as a gift for our 11 year old daughter. We had a great time and learnt the basic stitches and received 2 balls of wool and a crochet hook to get started. The teacher was lovely and provided one to one support as needed. Would definitely recommend to any beginners wanting to learn how to crochet.”

“Shannon was lovely. Soooo patient with us! I was an absolute beginner having only picked up a crochet hook the day before to try to follow a YouTube video, which didn't go well. By the end of the session we had all completed a piece of double and triple crochet. I really enjoyed myself and felt supported throughout. Got to practise now before I move on to granny squares.”

“We each got a bag with two balls of yarn, a hook and some handouts. The teacher was really knowledgeable. She was very patient with us throughout. She explained and demonstrated each stitch really well. She gave good feedback to troubleshoot issues and supported one to one when people needed extra help. The handouts really helped too. The only thing that might improve the course would be stapling the handout for each stitch, as I'd mixed them up in my bag and it was hard to sort them out at home on my own. I would really recommend this course if you're a complete beginner.”
