With Amanda Jackson
Whoever said crochet is only for grannies? Beginners Crochet is one of our most popular classes and is such an easy craft to get started in. We provide everything you need to get started including a crochet hook and a ball of yarn, so all you have to bring is yourself and a little bit of patience!
Students will learn basic crochet techniques, some of the most common stitches are and how to read crochet patterns. Put all these together and you will start your first basic granny square! Find out about different types of yarn, crochet hooks and where to find crochet patterns. Classes are small, intimate and hands-on so you will get the most out of your time.
Classes are small, intimate and hands-on which is perfect for beginners. All tools and materials are provided.
What is covered in this class:
  • How to hold a crochet hook
  • How to hold the working yarn
  • The crochet language: US & UK crochet terms
  • Pattern terminologies: words, symbols, charts/schematics
  • Common notions & tools
  • Where to find yarn & patterns
  • Basic anatomy of a crochet stitch
  • Learn basic crochet stitches (US term): slip knot, chain, slip stitch, double crochet (dc)
  • Start making a simple crochet square

As a follow-on from this class, our Beginners Crochet - Part 2 will further develop your newly learnt crochet skills.

You could also attend our Social Crochet & Knitting Meets or Beginners Amigurumi Crochet Workshop, and explore the world of crochet!
"Just wanted to say thank you for such a great class on Sunday. I cannot believe that I have made a nanny square (it’s not perfect but it looks like one). Such a great space, the teacher was fantastic and Pepper is so bloody cute." – Patty attended our Beginner’s Crochet Workshop.
"The instructor was friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer any and all questions, no matter how silly they may have seemed. This one course gave me the skills to push forward on my own… The whole vibe of Sew Make Create is incredibly welcoming and calm. I really look forward to many more visits in the future & can’t recommend them enough." – Mark attended our Beginner’s Crochet Workshop
