Throughout the workshop you’ll have the opportunity to ask plenty of questions and to practice on your own work, allowing you to perfect your skills under the guidance of your teacher before you take them home and use them on your own hand-crocheted projects.
Skill level: This class is perfect for advanced beginner crocheters and beyond – you should be able to make basic crochet stitches (single crochet and double crochet). The class is ideal for crocheters who have completed our Beginner Crochet class, but please note it’s NOT suitable for absolute beginners. If you can’t crochet the basic stitches then our Beginner Crochet class is the perfect choice for you. (Please note: this class isn’t suitable for children, due to the focus and concentration required in a class of this duration).
Once you’ve completed this class you’ll have the skills and know-how to make a huge variety of cute and cuddly crocheted Amigurumi and other 3D crochet shapes – the opportunities are endless!
