Everyone learns at a difference pace, that's why I keep my classes small so you get one on one help.
Once you are comfortable will holding your yarn & hook and chaining, we will move to single crochet stitches and perhaps even a half double crochet.

In this workshop, you'll learn some basic stitches, including hooking on, chaining, and single crochet.

Recent reviews of Beginner Crochet Taster Class

  • 5/5 from Maria Barriga, attended Oct 2026: Class was amazing! The teacher was very patient and knowledgeable. Lovely place and atmosphere. I did the class with my 11 year daughter and we both enjoyed it so much!
  • 5/5 from Julie Caruana, attended Jun 2026: This was a really worthwhile class for me - I’d been trying to get basic skills over a couple of weeks through books and online, in the class Steph was able to identify where I was going wrong and quickly corrected my technique class. I went in known just one stitch and left confidently knowing 3 (enough to start a small project). Great environment and very encouraging.
  • 5/5 from Sharyn Hill, attended Jun 2026: A warm friendly atmosphere as Stephanie began the workshop. Her clear instructions guided us all to have success with our crocheting. She was able to provide extra help to us individually as required. It was lovely to meet other like minded people looking to start and build skills in the craft of crocheting. A fabulous 2 hours, very worthwhile. Thank You Stephanie
  • 5/5 from Kim Abrahams, attended Jun 2026: Lovely casual class with a supportive and capable teacher. Comfortable room and well planned class. Great intro
  • 5/5 from Danielle McNicol, attended Jun 2026: I have just completed a Beginner Crochet class with Stephanie It was a great ‘taster’ class and I think I am hooked! The class size is small (max 6)so you get some great one on one instruction from Stephanie. She is an excellent teacher who was able to break down the steps of each stitch and reinforce key points that are important to get the hang of crocheting. I will definitely be back to continue my crocheting journey.
  • 5/5 from Lucy Jones, attended May 2026: Awesome class! Stef was an amazing teacher - super patient and clear instructions. Learned so much and can't wait to practice at home!

  • 5/5 from Julia Lawrence, attended Apr 2026: Stef was an excellent teacher. I learnt all I need to start my own crochet blanket. Very impressed with the studio, the materials we were given and the great cup of tea! Very friendly, comfortable group.
  • 5/5 from Margie Lane, attended Mar 2026: Wonderful class! Informative, easy instructions, and delightful teacher and group. I learned so much and am so proud of my first achievement. Can’t wait for the next one.
