About The Workshop
My favourite way to share my love for crochet is by passing on my skills to others.
Don't worry if you've never picked up a crochet hook, everything you need to get started will be taught in this course, consisting of 4 workshops spread over four weeks, and will be accompanied by lots of helpful print outs and videos, a friendly and supportive, private WhatsApp group, PLUS lots of help and support from me, your tutor Nicky!
WHAT YOU'LL DO
This course is a great introduction to crochet and learning to read a written pattern - it is also ideal for a beginner with basic crochet knowledge.
If you’re just getting started in the world of crochet and you’re looking to stitch your first project, this four-week course is your perfect opportunity! You’ll learn how to crochet nine Nordic granny squares, as well as how to put them together to create a beautiful, crocheted cushion.
You’ll learn how to begin your project with a magic circle and learn stitches such as the single crochet stitch, double crochet stitch and more! I will be on hand to guide you through every step of your crochet project, ensuring your confidence blossoms through the four weeks. You’ll be taught each stage within the scheduled workshop time, but you’ll need to continue to create and finish each stage between workshops using the skills you’ve learned.
This is a great way to get your practice in!
