Learn to Crochet - Walton-on-Thames
In person course at the Riverhouse Barn (4 x 2 hour classes)
Course Summary
My beginners crochet course, consists of four, two hour classes where you will get to grips with all the basics needed to get you competent and confident in the art of crochet. I have developed a special project that covers starting off, chaining, the basic stitches and joining motifs together for a finished item.
This learn to crochet course is for you if you are :
★ a complete beginner and you’ve never even picked up a hook.
★ someone that has dabbled in crochet but never really got to grips with it.
★ someone that may have crocheted many years ago but need refreshing on the basic techniques.
★ self-taught from the internet but want to make sure you’re not picking up any bad habits.
