Enjoy the art of crochet and all its benefits, better concentration, mental relaxation, inner peace, while you create beautiful designs to decorate your home, make original gifts or start your own craft business.
Come along and learn basic steps such as single chain, double crochet, treble, slip chain and let your imagination fly. The course will introduce the basic skills and foundation knowledge required to learn the skill of crochet. It will include instructions and guidance on read patterns and technical knowledge such as UK vs American stitch names, yarn tension, crocheting styles and adjustable rings. You will make a series of small projects designed to allow you to practise your developing skills.
Please note: You will need to bring your own ball of wool/ yarn, needles, a thread, scissors and a crochet hook.
For a beginner crocheter, a medium (worsted) weight yarn and a 5.0-6.0 mm (H/8 or 1/9) crochet hook is generally recommended. This combination provides a good balance between stitch visibility and ease of handling for those new to the craft.
