A fab new crochet club!
This workshop is suitable who have recently learnt to crochet or are looking for something new to try, the course will be accompanied by lots of helpful print outs and videos, a friendly & supportive Facebook group and lots of support from our addicted to granny square making tutors - Gemma, Sarah & Holly!
You can use any yarn you may have - it’s a great stash buster - you can also choose to add 4 balls of Stylecraft chunky yarn from at checkout for just £5 (RRP £8.60) that’s enough to make 33 granny squares. You can also buy them in our shop anytime. We will provide yarn and hooks at the early sessions for you to practice the techniques.
You will be given a storage bag, a blocking pad and pack of blocking pins
You’ll also be able to complete some of your projects with materials we have in the studio e.g zips, felt for lining etc…
There’ll also be refreshments served during every session
You’ll be guided through the steps of making granny squares, they can be tricky to master alone so we will break it down so you get fully addicted too!
This course is also a great introduction to reading written and pictogram patterns.
