Course Description:

Beginners Crochet Taster - full day workshop. This taster session will be suitable for beginners or as a refresher if you’ve crocheted before.

The humble granny square can enhance any blanket with beautiful colour and texture, as well as a plethora of other makes. Learning to make a granny square can provide an essential construct of beginner’s crochet. Remember that in crochet it’s easy to take your work back and start again – relax. There will be lots of time for your instructor, Karen Thomson, to demonstrate and support you on your crochet journey.

In our morning workshop using a double crochet stitch you’ll learn how to crochet in rows. Using this technique, you may choose to make fingerless mitts, a scarf, am headband, a cowl or a blanket.

In our afternoon workshop we move onto the traditional granny square, learning how to make a treble stitch and will explore some options; you may make lots of little granny squares to join or keep going in rounds to make an infinity granny blanket, or maybe you’ve an idea in mind waiting for this mindful little square.

By the end of your taster day workshop you will also have some understanding of how to follow a pattern giving you the foundations to build on in the crochet world. Practice and dedication are essential to learning any new skill and will build and you’re your confidence.
