Hooked on Crochet: A Beginner Worksop

In this beginner-friendly workshop, participants will learn the foundations of crochet—from choosing the right yarn to mastering essential stitches that open the door to countless projects. Whether you’re completely new to yarn crafts or have tried crochet before and felt unsure where to start, this class provides a clear, welcoming introduction. As you practice your skills, you’ll create a classic granny square and begin a cozy beanie hat that you can continue working on at home. By the end of the class, you’ll have hands-on experience, growing confidence, and the tools to keep exploring crochet on your own.
