This beginner friendly crochet workshop will teach you how to make your own useful crochet basket

A crochet basket is a lovely and handy thing to have around, and they are really on trend at the moment. They can store toiletries, hair accessories, keys, loose change and can be a great handmade gift to give to friends. The best news is that they're really easy to make!

This workshop is designed to be totally accessible for beginners and will cover the very basics of crocheting and pattern following. So don't worry if you've never picked up a hook before, you'll learn some useful crochet stitches and techniques nd pick up a new crafty hobby!

Crocheting is an incredibly mindful and relaxing craft and, when you become proficient with the stitches, you will find that you can bring your crocheting out anytime you have a spare 5 minutes to relax - great for resting, recharging and looking after your own wellbeing.
