Join this beginner-friendly knitting class in Eastbourne and discover how to create your own handmade pieces from scratch. If you've never picked up needles before or it's been years since your last stitch, this relaxed session is the perfect place to start.
You'll get hands-on with the basics as you learn to cast on, master the knit and purl stitches, and cast off to finish your work. With clear demonstrations and plenty of individual support, you can practise at your own pace in a warm, encouraging environment. It’s a wonderful way to switch off from the daily grind and find a moment of mindfulness while learning a classic craft.
Everything you need is provided, so you can simply show up and focus on the fun of making. By the end of the workshop, you'll feel more confident in your new skills and inspired to keep creating at home. You'll finish the session with a sense of accomplishment, taking home your first knitted project, enough yarn to keep your needles clicking, and handy instructions to help you remember every stitch.
  • Take home the work you have created – Celebrate your first steps into knitting with your handmade piece.
  • Enough yarn to keep practising – Continue building your confidence long after the class ends.
  • Instructions for the stitches you have been taught – A helpful guide to ensure you've mastered the techniques.
Please note we keep the class size limited to 6 people, which means classes sell out quickly.
What you'll get
