About This Event

Learn the basics of crochet from the beginning at this fun and friendly in-person course at Hove Textile Space Crochet Fundamentals Course for Beginners Join me for a 6-week crochet series designed to equip you with the skills to tackle projects with confidence. Classes will take place in my cosy and sunny studio space at the bottom of George Street in Hove. With a small class size of 8 maximum, you will receive plenty of teacher help and attention. The course covers everything you need to get started on your crochet journey: yarn choices and hook suitability, foundation chains, stitches of different heights, working in rows and in the round, changing colours, creating effects with stitch combinations, increasing and decreasing, and an introduction to reading patterns and charts. Week One: Get started with foundation chains, double and treble stitches, stripes, colour changes, and securing your work. Week Two: Explore Granny Squares and motifs, work in the round, and get introduced to reading charts and instructions. Week Three: Master the shell stitch, work in clusters, plan colours, and learn to read charts and written patterns, including 2-row patterns. Week Four: Explore wave stitches using stitches of different heights and become more familiar with reading charts and patterns. Week Five: Learn to increase and decrease by making a zigzag pattern, and solidify your confidence in reading patterns. Week Six: No new stitch today! Practice and recap all the techniques covered, ask questions, and troubleshoot any problems that came up along the way. Bring your first project ideas for advice on getting started. We'll also have a chat about finishing and joining techniques in this session. Classes take place on Wednesday evenings, 6:30pm - 8:30pm, at Hove Textile Space. This course runs 23rd September - 28th October. Early Bird Tickets are available until 7 days before the event, or until they sell out!
