***DATES AMENDED - due to Spring Bank Holiday!
Please note the course will NOT run on Bank Holidays nor during Half Term***
Maybe you've learnt to crochet in the past and need to brush up and extend your crochet knowledge. This is the perfect mini crochet course - whatever direction you'd like to take your hobby.
PLEASE NOTE: Basic skills are required (minimum - chain, double crochet & treble stitch)
Taking place over 5 x 1.5 hour sessions at The Grainstore (Middle Aston, Oxfordshire), the course dates are:
Session 1: Monday 12th May 2025: 11:05 am - 12:35 pm
Session 2: Monday 19th May 2025: 11:05 am - 12:35 pm
Session 3: Monday 2nd June 2025: 11:05 am - 12:35 pm
Session 4: Monday 9th June 2025: 11:05 am - 1
Session 5: Monday 16th June 2025: 11:05 am - 12:35 pm
What we will cover over the 5 sessions:
Session 1 : a recap of the basic skills
- how to hold the yarn and hook;
- chain, double crochet, treble crochet, turning
Session 2
- learn how to use your skills to follow a simple crochet pattern: "Pretty Simple Pouch"
- add slip stitch, half treble crochet and double treble crochet into your skillset
Sessions 3 - 4
You will tackle a new project - it's a cute Bobble Basket Bag! This project will teach you:
- how to use a new yarn type and corresponding hook size
- how to make a magic loop
- how to crochet continuously in the round
- how to use a stitch marker (and stitch marker options)
- new stitches, including crocheting in the back loop
- how to finish your work neatly
- how to make rope handles with recycled T-shirt yarn.
You will be able to complete this project at home, but there will also be an opportunity to go over anything you are uncertain of during session 4.
Sessions 4 - 5
You will learn to make a cute Flower Key Case. This project will build on the skills you learnt in the previous sessions PLUS
- the flower shape, which forms the foundation for lots of flower granny squares
- changing colour in the round
- more advanced techniques to really get you hooked! (eg standing double crochet, double stranded foundation chain)
If time runs out, you will be able to complete this project at home - as you will now have had plenty of practice following patterns!
Alternatively, we can arrange extra sessions (nominal charge) to bring your unfinished project along to.
ALL materials will be supplied - the value in kit form is over £50 and will include all recycled cotton yarns, crochet hooks, recycled cotton project bag and corresponding crochet patterns/folder.
The maximum workshop size will be 10, to ensure sufficient individual guidance during the session.
Don't forget: you'll be in the right place to fuel your crochet mind and fingers - The Grainstore has gorgeous cakes, coffees and lots more and it's set in beautiful Oxfordshire countryside! It's only half an hour from central Oxford and 20 minutes from Bicester (or Bicester Village if you're in the mood for a shop!)
