Join this free introductory online crochet class, a creative escape from the demands of daily life, whatever your experience level.
You'll learn the basics of crochet in a warm, welcoming space with absolutely no experience needed. As you work, you'll create something entirely your own, giving yourself permission to pause, reconnect, and find a bit of calm in the rhythmic, repetitive motion of each stitch.
Throughout the class, you'll:
  • Discover exactly what materials you need to get started
  • Learn how to hold your hook and yarn with confidence
  • Master the slip knot and foundation chain
  • Practice your first simple stitches with friendly, supportive guidance
Take things at your own pace, with the option to join live online sessions for extra support and a bit of connection along the way. It's not just an introduction to crochet – it's a chance to switch off, ease stress, and give your mind some breathing space, especially welcome if your day-to-day is a lot to juggle.
Knowledge required
No previous crochet experience is needed. This course is suitable for complete beginners, as well as anyone returning to crochet after a break.
All techniques will be explained clearly and demonstrated step by step, allowing plenty of time to practise and build confidence.
What to bring
A crochet hook and yarn to match. Small amounts of yarn in different colours are ideal. For beginners, UK double knitting yarn (usually called DK yarn) and a 4mm or 4.5mm crochet hook are recommended. There are many styles of crochet hook available, and personal preferences develop with experience. For now, aim to spend no more than £5–£7 on a hook.
Free hooks included with magazines or promotional offers can be difficult to handle and may make learning unnecessarily frustrating.
