2 hours Class size 4 to 5 guests       £40 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Learn how to make your own adorable amigurumi soft toy in this creative crochet workshop. This activity is perfect for anyone who already knows the basics of crochet and wants to learn how to bring cute characters to life with yarn.
In this session, you will be making a charming crocheted jellyfish. Your friendly and award-winning tutor, Kate McCully, will guide you through all the essential amigurumi techniques. You'll learn how to work in the round using a magic circle, and how to increase and decrease your stitches to create wonderful 3D shapes.
This workshop is designed for those who can already do a double crochet stitch – you don't need to be an expert, just comfortable with the basics. All yarn, hooks, and other materials are provided for the session. While the class is scheduled for two hours, you may not complete your jellyfish in this time. You are welcome to stay a little longer for extra help, and you will be able to take the yarn and pattern home to finish your creation at your own pace.
It's a truly rewarding experience to watch your own soft toy take shape, and you'll leave this workshop with the confidence and knowledge to continue your amigurumi adventures at home.

  • Enough yarn to make a bee
