This is a course over two days for anyone who has always wanted to try crochet or improve their crochet skills.
You will start off making a simple yet charming pot holder. Then you will learn to crochet in the round, the treble and half-treble crochet stitches. By the end of the course, you will be ready to try a granny square and have the confidence to tackle a written pattern and make sense of a chart so you can carry on independently.
You will work in a small group with personal attention so that the tutor can answer your specific questions. You will be able to work at your own pace, so it will be suitable for all levels, from beginner to improver.
Come with a friend or meet some new ones, all are welcome to come and enjoy the wonderful world of crochet. It is an addictive craft that you will find hard to stop.
