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

Recent reviews of Beginner's Guide to Crocheting a Granny Square
- 5/5 from Anne, attended Apr 2026: The lady (sorry forgot her name)that taught us today was brilliant. We were of various abilities but she managed to juggle our different needs easily. She had brought along some things she had made so were able to pick up some ideas of things we could do and had plenty of experience to answer all our questions. Lovely relaxed morning, plenty of skills learnt in a supportive environment.
- 5/5 from Andrea Mason, attended Jan 2026: Teacher very patience and gave lots of tips and easy ways with crochet. This is my second class on crochet and I love it. A lovely skill ti have. Will be booking more classes
- 5/5 from Louise Caplin, attended Nov 2025: Very patient and encouraging

- 5/5 from Bernadette Bulow, attended Apr 2025: Christie was a great teacher! So experienced in crochet and so patient!! Her work is amazing. So talented! I managed a granny square! The workshop supplies the yarn, hook and instructions. Really good value! Would definitely recommend it
- 5/5 from Naomi Cox, attended Apr 2025: Lovely class, wonderful kind patient teacher. Materials provided were great. We had a fantastic time!
- 5/5 from Shirley Matthews, attended Feb 2025: Thoroughly enjoyed the beginners guide to crocheting a granny square course. Chrissie is a superb teacher. This is the 2nd course i have done at Hobbycraft with her and would definitely recommend.
- 5/5 from Suzanne Fowles, attended Sep 2024: This workshop was brilliant. Christine was such a good teacher, patient and helpful. Christine made it fun while we were learning. The room we had was lovely and materials provided were great
- 5/5 from Julie, attended Oct 2023: I had a wonderful time at the class, and even came away with what looked like a granny square! The materials provided were great for the class and practice afterwards, and even a bag to put everything in. I took the beginner crochet class previously, but was still struggling a little, and needed that expert help to talk me through it. I can't recommend this course and trainer enough for her patience, hints and tips, and I think it is finally sinking in. Pic attached is from my first 'solo' square.
- 5/5 from Natasha, attended Sep 2023: Wonderful workshop! Learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed it. Christie is a brilliant teacher. Have now got the crochet bug, very happily. Highly recommend these crochet workshops.

- 5/5 from Mary Vyse, attended Aug 2023: The lesson was great Chris is so patient and she explains everything at your pace It is so good to have these face to face sessions rather than on line I have now attended 4 different workshops and plan to do many more Mary Vyse
- 5/5 from Jenny Newman, attended Aug 2023: The teacher was really patient and very clear which meant I came away feeling like I can continue with the crochet square that I have started. The group size was perfect as it meant there was time for everyone.
- 5/5 from Michelle Rosen, attended Aug 2023: Absolutely amazing Chrissie is very patient & explains everything very well. I loved every moment of the Granny Square course & wished it could have been longer. Please do more courses Hobbycraft. Good Value. Regards Michelle
- 5/5 from Jane Aslan, attended Jul 2023: I loved the class. Fab teacher I've been to her beginners and now this one. She's so inspiring and very talented. I'm so happy with my new skill. Thanks for the opportunity to learn!
