Week 1 - Getting Comfortable

Week 1 - Getting Comfortable

We'll start right at the beginning. You'll learn how to hold your hook and yarn in a way that feels comfortable for you, make your first slip knot and crochet chain, and begin making your first stitches.

This is often the trickiest part of learning to crochet, so we spend plenty of time practising together. There's no rushing and no expectation to "get it" immediately – we'll help you build confidence one stitch at a time.


Week 2 – Making your first 3D project

Week 2 – Making Your First 3D Project

This week your crochet starts to become something! You'll learn the double crochet stitch (called single crochet in US patterns), and discover how increasing and decreasing stitches changes the shape of your work.

Using these new skills, you'll make a simple crochet bowl while learning how three-dimensional crochet is created.


Week 3 - The famous granny square

Week 3 - the Famous Granny Square

Now it's time to make one of crochet's most recognisable projects. You'll learn how granny squares are constructed, how to turn neat corners, and how to change colours with confidence.

By the end of the session you'll understand how granny squares are made and have the skills to continue making them at home.


Never picked up a crochet hook before? You're in exactly the right place.
Learning to crochet can feel overwhelming when you're trying to follow YouTube videos on your own. In this three-week course, we'll guide you through everything step by step in a small group, with plenty of individual help whenever you need it.
Over the three weeks you'll learn how to hold your hook comfortably, make your first stitches, understand how crochet fabric is created, shape simple 3D projects, and finish by making the classic granny square with colour changes.
More importantly, you'll leave understanding how crochet works, so you can continue learning with confidence instead of relying on someone showing you every step.
