Suitable for complete beginners or those wanting to brush up on their basic skills, I use a specially developed small project to teach you how to make a pot holder using a solid granny square.
You will learn all the essential techniques that can be applied to most basic projects such as:

  • choosing the right size hook and yarn
  • how to hold your hook and yarn
  • chaining
  • slip stitch, single & double crochet
  • how to make a square
  • how to change colours
  • how to join motifs using sewing and crochet

The course includes:

5 x 2 hour practical classes, spread over 5 weeks.
Detailed class notes including photos to help you practise at home.
Complete pdf pattern at end.
Email support during the duration of the course.
Suggestions for other projects you could attempt using your newly acquired skills.
I can also offer a starter kit containing the correct yarn, hooks and other accessories needed for the project.

This is a great way to learn a new hobby in a friendly setting where you can meet new people and hopefully make friends too!
