Course Outline:

Crochet is easy, fun and addictive- once you know how. Try a ‘slow’ crochet course, learn the basics but also spend time practicing the new techniques. This is the best way to achieve tension, which is key to making anything. We will learn all the various techniques of crochet, including the different ways of holding yarn and hook, all the basic stitches and then practice the concepts of turning, making rows, and making squares and even circles. The course is designed for complete beginners and gives you extra time to relax and calmly try the techniques and master it at home between each class. This is a great way to really enjoy the depth of this wonderful craft.

What to Bring:

Please bring $20 payable to the tutor on the first night for your complete crochet pack. The pack includes two balls of merino wool and a crochet hook.

Please bring your own scissors, ruler or tape measure, pen and paper. You may also want to bring a wool needle to tidy up ends.
