This is a fun activity in Tamworth, Birmingham

Fall in love with crochet by creating a classic granny square! You’ll be able to combine beautiful colours to stitch this traditional crochet design, perfect for setting you up for so many other projects. Granny squares can be used to make blankets, garments and more – we’re here to help you get started with your first one.  

With the help of an Hobbycraft Artisan, you’ll learn how to crochet a granny square by using all the key techniques. You’ll use double and treble stitches, as well as learning how to decipher a granny square pattern and how to change yarn colours. 

There’s a kit included with the workshop to give you everything you need for the project. Within the 90-minute session, you’ll be able to create one granny square, though you can continue to practice making more once you’ve got to grips with all the skills. The kit even features a pattern for a granny square blanket to help you continue your adventure in crochet!  

This workshop is the perfect way to grow your crochet confidence, with tips and support from a pro! It’s ideal if you already have basic knowledge of the stitches but are looking to refresh yourself or develop further.

An excellent class. Class instructor was really supportive and patient. Definitely need knowledge of crochet stitches and technique. We all produced a granny square. Might be nice if we could choose the yarn colours as the two provided, whilst good for practice, are not what would choose.

Fantastic class was over to soon, teacher was so patient and excellent communicator would definitely book another class with her. Class well priced I did the granny square class I had done it previously on the online class but could not get to grips with it and ended up not having any knowledge when it finished, as needed face to face.

The course tutor is absolutely amazing! She was clear, patient, concise and we all left feeling confident and excited to crochet some more. We started with the centre of a Granny Square - we all thought it looked like a messy blob but Katrina assured us that it would all come together - and come together it did! The time went so quickly and I’d happily still be sitting there, crocheting away. Thank you Hobbycraft Tamworth for a great workshop!
