For those who want to learn how to knit and crochet for the first time

If you're a beginner eager to dive into the world of crochet and knitting in London, our classes are the perfect starting point for your creative journey. Workshops (like this one that covers the basics of knitting for beginners) are specifically designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of these crafts in a fun and supportive environment.

Under the expert guidance of experienced instructors, you'll learn everything from the basics of yarn selection and holding the knitting needles or crochet hook to mastering essential stitches and deciphering patterns. Our yarn-filled London activities are tailored for beginners, allowing you to learn at your own pace and build a solid foundation of skills. As you gain confidence in your abilities, you'll be amazed at what you can create. For example these stylish coasters!

Beginners can also benefit from learning in a nurturing environment, one on one with the teacher. The intimate setting of a private class ensures a comfortable and relaxed environment where you can freely ask questions, experiment with different techniques, and receive valuable feedback. Sounds perfect for you? Then we suggest this crochet taster workshop!

With a thoughtful instructor by your side, you'll receive individualised instruction, allowing you to progress at your own pace and focus on the areas and techniques you find the most interesting. That way you can quickly progress your skills and try some more intermediate techniques and crochet or knitting patterns.

Very good starter session - grasped how to hold the hook and the wool correctly and control the tension of the stitches. Also not to lose or gain stitches row by row. An hour went by in a flash but was good grounding. I have managed to carry on on my own. Madeleine Louloudis, One-to-one crochet class

Wow - What a great workshop! I signed up for arm knitting with a friend, and had so much fun and met lovely people. Emily and Jess led the session and made the whole activity super enjoyable. We were crafting in a smaller room within The Mitre Pub, Greenwich, which was a perfect cosy place to hold this event. A free drink was included in our ticket price and we were able to carry on chatting afterwards in the bar area. This activity would be great for meeting new people, a date, friends, groups, team building and families. Nicola Vidi Morrell, Blanket arm knitting workshop
