Jessica Bbowden • Nov 2023
Really helpful guide when starting to crochet. Definitely recommend to anyone who has been wanting to try it!
Yasmin Akhtar • Nov 2023
Tutor was lovely. Unfortunately I had connection problems so couldn’t log at start of lesson. But a recorded video was sent via email. On the parts I was able to join and stay connected, the tutor was really good. She gave enough time to ask questions and for everyone to catch up. The box that was sent out, was perfect. It had two balls of very good quality wool and a crotchet hook, with the instructions. It even came with a tote bag, which is what I’ve kept my project in. I understood more by following and making mistakes.
Pamela • Nov 2023
Thoroughly enjoyed the session. Very easy to follow and a good pace. My first on-line experience but sure it won’t be my last.
Sandy Waters • Nov 2023
Kathryn explained things very simply and demonstrated every aspect clearly. She was very happy to go over anything we got stuck on
Maureen • Nov 2023
Thank you Kathryn. Very good pace and very clear instructions
Highly recommend as an introduction to crochet
Joanna Cater • Nov 2023
Learn how to crochet online course was fun and a great first lesson. The course went really quickly for an hour and a half. I have since brought a beginners book to further my knowledge.
Emma • Nov 2023
I'd never done crochet before so I learnt a lot of new things during this course. It was also great to have the recording sent to us after as I can watch it at my own pace.
Lucy • Nov 2023
Great fun and the teacher was super patient with all our questions and challenges! Excellent start to my crotchet journey
Wenda Holyoak • Nov 2023
I didn’t do the whole class, I forgot and cut the class short x
Elizabeth Tennant • Nov 2023
Explained everything really well and really enjoyed the class. Made so much more sense than a you tube video
Miriam Griffiths • Nov 2023
It was a super helpful workshop with a good pace and plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Being able to watch someone do the stitches was much easier to learn as a beginner than following diagrams!
Christina • Nov 2023
Really good/ really enjoyed the training. Easy to follow guidance, time few by. Would recommend.
Alexis Swallow • Nov 2023

Really well explained at a good pace, answering questions I had before I’d even raised them. No complaints at all
Gill Naylor • Nov 2023
Very clear with easy to follow instructions. Responded positively to any questions or confusion. Enjoyable workshop leaving me with a feeling of confidence and enthusiasm to continue crocheting!
Amanda Keegan • Nov 2023
Kathryn was a great teacher she gave clear instructions, kept a good pace and made sure everyone was keeping up.
I really enjoyed the workshop.
Shamima Dawood • Nov 2023
Kathryn was amazing -she was very patient and gave clear instructions at every stage of the demonstration. At the end we learnt three different types of crochet stitches and how to make a crochet square. I would definitely book again!
Lucy Dennison • Nov 2023
Excellent workshop. Really helpful session, and great to get the video afterwards too. Thank you!
Lisa Steel • Nov 2023
I have never crocheted before, so was quite convinced that I would really find it a struggle. However, Chloe’s kind demeanour put me at ease and with her calm instructions I managed to complete the stitches. It was a great first lesson with Hobbycraft.
Naomi Curniffe • Nov 2023
Chloe was amazing. It was small workshop but meant she could give detailed explanation and answer questions. Didn’t feel rushed. Really felt I learnt something
Sabrina • Nov 2023
Patient and informative. Feel confident I can have a go on my own now. Thanks!
Sarah Butcher • Nov 2023
Really enjoyed the workshop. Chloe was lovely and explained everything really well. I have never picked up a crochet hook before, so a complete beginner and Chloe explained things so well that I picked it up quite quickly. Our group was large and some seemed to pick things up quicker than others, so it was difficult to keep up at times for slower people like me. For a group our size more time would have been beneficial as we only just managed to quickly cover treble crochet at the end. Would definitely recommend this workshop.
Mary Haggett • Nov 2023
Super session - very clear demonstration and explanation. My Granddaughter is 11. She has a little crochet experience. She found this session easy to follow and it has rekindled her enthusiasm. Thank you.
Sarrina Stephens • Nov 2023
The workshop was more advance than what I thought. The pace of the course was a bit too fast for beginners. I could see the teacher was experienced and good crochet, if I considered going for another workshop again it would have to be a one to one.
Sonja Garrett • Nov 2023
The teacher was very friendly and engaging and she was also very patient. The kit arrived in plenty of time

This workshop was fantastic. Chloe explained everything clearly and throughly, and paced the session perfectly. Chloe made things make sense that my sisters had tried to explain to me before (but it had still seemed like a foreign language!).
Miss Wanda Hughes • Nov 2023
Great session and at the right pace too. Emma made the session relaxed and enjoyable.
Tracy Marland • Nov 2023
At right pace, trainer took her time to makesure we all felt confident with what we were doing.

Chrissie was brilliant and patient for those of us who couldn’t get it right away. Thank you. Loved it!
Bethany • Oct 2023
Our teacher was incredibly enthusiastic, and very focused on making sure that each one of us was confident in our work. This is my third Hobbycraft class so far, and most teachers just log on, start working, tell you to copy them and ask if you have any questions. Chrissie (I think it was), checked if we were all happy with our work before continuing and was happy to start from scratch when we needed it. Very supportive, and a very lovely person. Made the class a dream. Thank you for all your help! - Bethany
Amanda Bailey • Oct 2023
Very patient and clear to see what we had to do. Definitely recommend when starting out.
Lucy • Oct 2023
Kathryn was fantastic. Really clear and explain things thoroughly. She was enthusiastic and I've enjoyed using my new skills since the class. Can't wait to book another one.

Great class, just the right pace for a complete beginner. All steps explained and the overhead camera view was really helpful. Time flew by. Once I've mastered this I'd like to do a next level course. First time doing one of these online courses. Great value for money especially including the kit. Would definitely do another.

The group seemed to enjoy the session. The craft box provided was lovely with some nice yarns.

Marilyn Botterlll • Oct 2023
Apologies for the lateness of this. Regarding the workshop I want to say I was very impressed with how well it was done. It was friendly and the crotchet instructions were very clearly explained and shown close up. Being able to go back over the seminar is a bonus. You certainly deserve 5*.s. Thank you.

Kathleen McAlea • Oct 2023
Really enjoyable class learning beginners crochet! I feel I really picked up some skills and I really appreciate being sent the recording afterwards so I can continue practicing! I definitely won’t hesitate to book again. The materials sent prior to the class were great quality too!

I absolutely loved this class. I have been wanting to learn crochet for a while, but was finding it hard to get to grips with it on my own. Kathryn (my teacher) was really patient and encouraging, and she explained the stitches really clearly. It was a small group session, so it was really comfortable to ask questions and we got a lot of individual attention as needed. I wasn't sure how it would work online but there was a great camera/Zoom set up so I could see really clearly and easily. Once I have practiced some more I will definitely be joining one of the other crochet classes!
Michael Brown • Oct 2023
I enjoyed this class and it helped me learn the first steps to crochet skills

Perfect place to start if you've never tried crochet before as you get everything delivered to start stitching, plus print out instructions to use in future if you ever need a reminder of the basic stitches involved. I have been off work due to sickness for the past few months and needed something to give me some routine, distraction and to ultimately feel productive - I have never tried crochet before starting this class a few months ago but since then I have taken the granny square workshop, the six week blanket course and most recently the sunflower bag course. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending any of the crochet workshops to others wanting to learn how to crochet, and Kathryn in particular is an amazing tutor who is patient, very friendly and explains things very clearly.
Andrea Lowe (For Daughter Beth) • Sep 2023
My daughter achieved more in the lesson than hours persevering with YouTube videos. Delighted! My daughter more confident moving on with her crochet skills.
Tracey Crabb • Sep 2023
Great introduction to crochet. Louise was very clear with her instructions as well as very patient when asked to repeat things. The 1.5 hours absolutely flew past and I came away with a few rows of stitches. Now time to practice. Thank you.

Only 3 in the class so perfect number and all 3 of us were left handed which was very unusual but Kathryn easily swapped over to left handed. Fantastic! Haven't been able to learn as all my friends are right handed!
Very easy to follow with the overhead camera and perfect speed. Moved forward at my pace when the other 2 were struggling so that I could continue to learn bit she went back to help the others too. Really enjoyed it and can't wait to practice and eventually make the blanket in the kit I have.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The 1 1/2 hours flew by. The teacher was great and really explained everything well. It was really good to be able to see clearly how she was crocheting on screen so that we could follow and she constantly checked that all of us were ok.
It is also great that we have been given the recording of the training so that we can refresh ourselves on this.
I am really keen to look at other crochet courses now that I have started.

The artisan was very professional and very easy to understand. The camera angle made it very easy to see exactly what she was doing. She explained all that she was doing and made sure that I understood each stage. She was able to show me some extra little bits and pieces which has inspired me to do more at home and it’s helped me with things that I found had difficult in the past.

Kathryne went slowly through double and treble crochet stitches step by step demonstrating each step as she went.
She answered any questions and also provided some extra resources to support in crochet moving forward.
Would definitely recommend taking the Beginners guide to crochet.

Good teacher. Not really long enough. Got the hang of it but needed to practice after class and looked at instructions which are quite easy to follow. Looked at the online tutorials which went a bit quicker than I expected! Am enjoying learning to crochet in my own time.
Alison Scully • Mar 2023
Very good and informative workshop. Chloe was very good in explaining the stitches and also how the workshop would run. Really enjoyed the session

I have been trying to get the hang of crochet and have had no luck. I saw this course and thought I would give it a go. I was nervous that I would not get very far. But I was so surprised and happy to have been able to do it. Kathryn was easy to understand. She was also very patient and gave step by step instructions.
We tried 2 different stitches. I would definitely recommend. Her camera set up was really good and clear to see
Miss Leppert • Mar 2023
I thoroughly enjoyed this class, it was clear and precise. Every movement with the crochet hook and the wool could be seen. I had previously been able to make the chains and do double crochet, but it was great to learn the treble crochet. I do plan to book onto the other courses in the future.
Katrina Holland • Mar 2023
I have just completed my first class with Kathryn, she was an excellent teacher and so personable. Throughly enjoyed it and so excited to start crochet by myself.

Lucy Hook • Mar 2023
Brilliant! Would highly recommend as a starting point. It was pitched at just the right level, it has got me up and running and there’s no stopping me now! Lots of great tips and the instructor was great at showing us where we’d gone wrong, nobody got left behind. Very nice and relaxed but also covered a lot of ground. Thank you!
Janet Chittock • Mar 2023
Kathryn was really clear with her instructions and kept the workshop going at a comfortable pace. It was great to be able to ask questions and pick up tips I’ve not come across before. With the craft kit bag this was very good value for money and I thoroughly recommend it.

I really enjoyed the crochet class, the time few by. Kathryn was patient and explained the steps well. Furthered those who progressed quickly and also went over things as many times as you needed, explaining errors and answering questions.

Kathryn was friendly and a very good tutor. It was very easy to see with the camera positioning. The three of us in the group were taught the two basic stitches and Kathryn checked along the way to make sure we were all keeping up. She was happy to answer any questions and re-demonstrate if we needed it. With a little more practice I will be able to attempt a make from the ideas on the Hobbycraft Website. All in all it was a very pleasant way to spend a cold grey Saturday morning.

Very clear explanations. Patient teacher. There was not quite enough time tough to learn 2 different stitches. Maybe 2 hours would have been better.

I had a great time the teacher was very
calm explaining everything to us in best way possible. I am glad I attended the session.
Alison McKenzie • Feb 2023
Kathryn is a great teacher. She explained everything very clearly and the overhead camera was very clear. She was patient and took time to review what I was doing. I was very lucky to have 1-2-1 session with her. Thank you.
Tracey Mansfield • Feb 2023
I really enjoyed this workshop. The tutor was very good and showed us step by step how to do each stitch. She talked through each stage of the stitches and checked in with each of us to make sure we were keeping up and didn't have any problems. If anyone on the workshop were unsure, she took it back a step and showed us again. I was confident by the end of it that I knew how to make the chain, how to count the stitches, how to make a double crochet and a treble. I have been practising this weekend and am looking forward to my next project. The box I received prior to doing the workshop was also really good and very exciting to open.
Janice Meikle • Feb 2023
Kathryn was very good at explaining things, clear, concise and very patient. Really enjoyed the session
Abigail Terry • Feb 2023
Really helpful session. Speed was good and each point was shown more than once, giving loads of time to do yourself. Great explanation of everything and I left with two projects started, to carry on

Great online crochet course! I'd tried learning from books before with no luck, whereas this course had me picking up stitches fast. The teacher went at a pace to suit the group, checking on progress, recapping and answering questions. Great camera view of her demonstrating the stitches making it easy to see the detailed movement, much better than a group crowding round a table to see. Links were shared to other Hobbycraft videos, and I've been able to follow those to pick up new stitches. Also, receiving the box with the wool and crochet hook was a treat and well presented. Thanks :)

Louise was lovely and very kind.

Ashleigh Allen • Feb 2023
The course was excellent. Kathryn was brilliant and taught me so much she was nice and slow with her demonstrations so it was easy to learn.

The artisan demonstrated everything clearly and was more than happy to answer questions or repeat and re demonstrate things as required. It was a full class and she kept checking and waiting for everyone to have a go at each part which was helpful. The pack was good quality and contained the instructions for the stitches, The artisan also provided a link to hobbycraft youtube videos to help us as we continue our crochet after the class. Thank you.

Fantastic course! I can finally do a double and treble crochet stitch The tutor for this online course explained everything so well, and I finally understand it (I’ve been trying for years and I just wasn’t getting ), and I’m so glad I can finally do it! Thank you so much
Barbara Panther • Feb 2023
Think some previous knowledge would’ve helped as it was not easy to follow . Preview shows you with a finished square but you only do 2 rows not enough to establish knowledge of a stitch . I think you need to be in person , didn’t work on zoom for me .
Katharine Harris • Feb 2023
Very interactive and I really understood how to start to learn how to crochet as I didn’t know how to crochet before.
Judith Calu • Feb 2023

Thanks to a super Artisan, Kathryn, I now feel confident with getting started in the craft of crochet. I wasnt sure how I would get on with online class but it was great. Kathryn moved at a nice pace and was happy to go over anything and answer any questions. Would highly recommend the class.

Very clear demonstration of basic stitches. Opportunity to practice whilst watching was very helpful to be sure the stitch was correct.
Unsure if there are workshops for the next stage but if not maybe something about how to change yarn colour would be good

Kathryn was great at coaching us through the crochet for beginners class. She was very clear and went at a pace that worked for all of the group. The kit that was supplied was also really nice for practicing. Would definitely recommend this to others and will be looking out for more courses in the future!
Mary Painter • Feb 2023
Kathryn was very good and it was easy to follow her. The only drawback was she couldn't see what we were doing unless we held up our work. At an in person class she could do this. So not as good online but a well presented class for beginners.
Liz Gaywood • Feb 2023
The class was a very helpful to start to crochet. It was sometimes hard to follow but that wasn't the tutor, it was more just being online, the tutor helped with this by repeating steps to ensure everyone was following what to do next.

This was my first hobbycraft online workshop. The teacher answered all questions and the pace was good. Friendly teacher, ensured I felt comfortable enough to ask questions. Would attend another workshop. Teacher put link to some YouTube videos in the chat and I was unable to catch them before the workshop endedwould it be possible to email the links please!

Ellie Wilson • Feb 2023
I thought that the call was a nice idea and as much as I learned things I didn't quite feel like I could ask questions or say I was confused as it didn't feel much like a beginners lesson. The way things were phrased made it almost feel as if we should have known what we were doing
Tracey Corre • Feb 2023
I really enjoyed my beginners crochet course. The instructor was clear and informative with close up shots at all times. The kit arrived a few days before and was beautifully packaged. Added bonus being there are a number of free patterns on Hobbycraft website. Thank you.

Pauline Bazett • Jan 2023
Really enjoyable session which was paced for beginners as described. Kathryn, the tutor, ensured everyone was keeping up with the tutorial and was happy to recap where required.
As a left-hander I thought I would really struggle but as Kathryn said, it worked fine to do the crocheting as a right-hander instead.
Thanks very much.

Jeshin Murugiah • Jan 2023
We thought it was really great! The artisans were exceptional and they were very good at teaching the students the basics of crochet and especially helping one-on-one. They maintained a friendly environment throughout and it was altogether a very enjoyable experience!
Lynda Deeney • Jan 2023
Really enjoyed this mode of learning.beginners Crochet •classTutor gave clear instructions and demonstrated well.
• I wear hearing aids in both ears and I missed the summary details of the lesson e.g. videos to watch etc and contact that would enable practise of the stitches demonstrated.
•The session was long enough
I would definitely attend more workshoops.
Susan Keen • Jan 2023
The instructions were clear but because of latecomers the initial casting on stitch was explained over and over again. It wasted over 20 minutes of the tutorial. Because of this the last part of the tutorial seemed very rushed and the instructions unclear.
Gillian Wright • Jan 2023
Great teacher giving clear verbal instructions while demonstrating techniques. Very patient with class members who were struggling. We had one member of the group who was left-handed. Did slow things down a little having to also demonstrate the left-handed method.
Good to have the paper instructions arrive with the crochet kit which allowed me to have a practice before the class.
Would like to see a next level course.

Carol Nixon • Jan 2023
I was late getting on but just in time for the very lovely lady, whose name I missed- sorry, to start showing us how to crochet! I needed to be able to visualise what to do, and this was the perfect way to start! Very clear instructions to follow, very patient and checked how we were getting on, as we went along. Well done Hobby craft!
Mrs Wilson • Jan 2023
The workshop was great: easy to follow instructions with clear demonstrations. Our tutor K was patient and helpful so we get the techniques right. Really good to have
