Crochet is a fun and versatile fibre art that can be used to create a huge number of items including

garments, toys and blankets. The possibilities are endless.

In this beginners course I will give you a strong foundation in all aspects of crochet to give you a

confident start to your crochet journey.

You will learn skills including the following:

• All basic crochet stitches

• Understanding yarn and choosing the right yarn for your project
• Crocheting in rows and in the round
• Fixing mistakes

I first learned to crochet as a child with my Nana who loved all things yarn and often won prizes for

her beautifully designed Irish Crochet lace among many other things. As an adult I revisited the craft

almost a decade ago and became “hooked” all over again. These days I’m rarely seen without a

crochet hook and often take commission work. I try to share my love of crochet with everyone I can

as it’s such an enjoyable hobby that anyone can do.
