This is a fun activity in Southampton

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.

Very good course with a lot of time and patience given by our teacher Chrissie. As there were only 3 of us on the day we had a lot of personal help if we had any difficulties. Good to have the kit and instruction handout to be able to go home and practice. Will definitely be booking further followup courses.

Excellent instruction and support for total newbies. I would highly recommend this session. For me I would like a few follow up sessions to gain proficiency in the stitches learnt.

I received the beginners crochet class as a present from my oldest child. Giving us a lovely opportunity for us to spent some quality time together while learning something new. The booking process was very straight forward and it was easy to book on a day and time that was convenient and at our preferred location. Our teacher was very patient and explained every step clearly, and made sure we were happy before moving on to teach us the next stitch. She was happy to answer any questions we had and was very encouraging. After the class I felt confident to go home and attempt crocheting a dolls blanket. We look forward to attending the Granny Squares class once we have practiced what we have learned. I would highly recommend this class. We attended the Southampton Hobbycraft.

Great class. Teacher was really informative and engaging, coming round to check our work and address errors and misunderstanding to correct our work. It's suddenly clicked and even better I can still remember how to crochet 3 days later!
