About this course
Learn to crochet or improve your crochet skills, starting from the absolute basics and move on to create geometric shapes that you can join together.Course Description
This is a course for anyone who has always wanted to try crochet or improve their crochet skills. You will be working in a small group with personal attention so that the tutor can answer your specific questions. By the end of the day you will be crocheting with confidence and making sense of baffling written patterns and charts. The class will run at your pace, so it will be suitable for all levels, from beginner to improver.
You will make circles and geometric squares as the building blocks for your own projects. It is an addictive craft, so you can carry on in the evening, on the bus, at home… you won’t want to stop!
• Be the boss of the double, treble and half-treble crochet stitches.
• Have a go at working in the round to make a granny square.
• Make sense of a written pattern.
