• 5/5 from Kathryn Platkiw, attended Oct 2025: Spent a lovely afternoon learning how to crochet. The class size was 6 which was great. You were provided with wool, crochet hook, bag and instruction leaflet. The teacher was very patient and explained things very well and covered some additional questions at the end which were really useful. By the end of the session I was able to do a double and triple crochet stitch, read a simple pattern and understand how to change colours. As a knitter I have always wanted to learn how to crochet and this was the perfect start. As with anything it is ‘practice makes perfect’ but I can’t wait to start. Hobbycraft offer more advanced crochet classes which I will take up once I have mastered the basics.

Her instructions were easy to follow and she was full of tips to help us with future projects. The kit included 2 different coloured wool and a crochet hook, with printed instructions, all in a linen tote bag. The length of the class allowed us plenty time to practice our newly learned stitches. I would happily recommend this class to any beginner.

Kerry was also very helpful at the end of the session in terms of advising how to access and follow beginners crochet patterns.
