arrow_right_alt arrow_downwardFall in love with crochet by creating a classic granny square! You’ll be able to combine beautiful colours to stitch this traditional crochet design, perfect for setting you up for so many other projects. Granny squares can be used to make blankets, garments and more – we’re here to help you get started with your first one. Â
With the help of an Hobbycraft Artisan, you’ll learn how to crochet a granny square by using all the key techniques. You’ll use double and treble stitches, as well as learning how to decipher a granny square pattern and how to change yarn colours.Â
There’s a kit included with the workshop to give you everything you need for the project. Within the 90-minute session, you’ll be able to create one granny square, though you can continue to practice making more once you’ve got to grips with all the skills. The kit even features a pattern for a granny square blanket to help you continue your adventure in crochet! Â
This workshop is the perfect way to grow your crochet confidence, with tips and support from a pro! It’s ideal if you already have basic knowledge of the stitches but are looking to refresh yourself or develop further. Â

- 4/5 from Bernadine Clarke, attended Aug 2025: Teacher was excellent. Very patient. Well organised. Easy to book. Good value for money.The cotton yarn split easily making it more difficult to use. That’s why I’ve knocked a star off.
- 5/5 from Litsa White, attended Jul 2025: Booked my granddaughter for this class and she loved it. The teacher took her time explaining everything. She made a granny square for the first time. Would definitely recommend. She said she was very patient with her
- 5/5 from Helen Quick, attended Dec 2024: The Granny Square workshop at Chesterfield, was as good as my previous beginners crocheting workshop. I’d highly recommended them! Our teacher gave clear instructions and was very supportive and patient. It was much easier than trying to follow a book or video. Also it was good to have a chat with others in the group. I came away feeling confident, having successfully created one square. I then completed three more at home - very addictive. I’m now aiming to make another blanket.
- 5/5 from Lauren, attended Dec 2024: Learn how to granny square the teacher was amazing very patient had enough time for us all at different levels. Loved a natter as I found I was doing it better. You should do a knit and natter group.
- 5/5 from Marie Walsh, attended Nov 2024: I attended the Beginner's Guide to Crocheting a Granny Square. Sharon was an excellent teacher especially so because I’m left handed! Sharon was a very nice lady and very patient. We got to take home a Hobbycraft bag with crochet hook, 2 balls of wool, snippers and instructions. I was very pleased with what I achieved and I would certainly recommend this tutorial to my friends and family. Thank you
- 5/5 from Wendy Pearson, attended Nov 2024: Reached the dizzy age of 71 without being able to crochet. Well Sharon put an end to that she was brilliant and really patient. By the end of the session I had started a granny square. When I got home I started another to prove to me that I could do it and to test my memory! Unfortunately I am still useless at downloading photos. I had a very enjoyable time. Brilliant workshop thank you Sharon

Her crochet skills were exceptional and I learnt a lot from her. All the materials were included in the lesson. I learn how to make a granny square and overall very happy with the lesson. Would definitely recommend.
- 5/5 from Diane Sisson, attended Jun 2024: Sharon was the teacher and we were provided with the wool, crochet hook, instructions and snippers.
