This is a fun activity in Earlsfield, London

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.

I signed up for a how to make a Granny Square class. A lovely lady, Jacqui, walked us through the basics until we understood it. She was very patient, thorough and encouraging all the way through the process. I managed to make nearly 2 squares in the time which looked like they were supposed to! We were given 2 balls of yarn, a hook and instructions to take away in a tote bag. I would certainly think about extending my crochet knowledge. Thank you, Jacqui.

Lovely class with Jacqui. She makes crochet really fun and accessible. I left having made a pretty decent granny square! I thought it would be complicated but I was so chuffed with how it turned out and feel encouraged to carry on.
