Then this is the craft class for you! Learn one of the iconic fundamentals of crochet and pick up loads of skills along the way as you make your very own granny square. Using basic crochet stitches, you will make one of the most popular crochet items out there. Granny squares are so easy to make and super versatile. Once you sew a few together you can make everything from blankets to cardigans, toys, cushion covers and more. The best part? You don't need to know how to crochet! You can join in on this friendly class as a complete beginner, pick up a crochet hook and dive right into the colourful fun of yarn. If you do have some crochet experience, you're also welcome to come. Hat workshop: Autumn is the perfect season to master the bobble hat! It's perfect for sitting at home with a hot cuppa on a cold night, and you can make some beautiful items for yourself and as gifts. Don't worry if you're a total beginner, we will focus on building your skills from the ground up, demonstrating equipment like crochet hooks and teaching you how to follow basic patterns before you take over and tap into your creative potential.

Throughout this textiles class, you'll soon start to feel the calming and mindful benefits of crochet, build your confidence and maybe even find your new favourite hobby.
