Crochet Courses

​Learn Crochet courses

Evening and weekday classes
We have split our original Learn to Crochet course so that we have an Absolute Beginner course followed by an Intermediate one.  Each course now takes place over three, two hour sessions.

The Absolute Beginners Course covers the fundamentals of crochet -- choosing a hook, the right yarn, how to produce the stitches building up to create a granny square.  The Intermediate Course will build on the Beginners but also take account of what crocheters already know so that they really learn from the sessions.

Gaelle provides hooks and yarns for the first session and Ammonite Yarns provides tea, coffee and biscuits.

The courses costs £35.00 for three weeks and are restricted to five places. You can book  your place online, by phone or in the shop with a £10.00 deposit. 

Our next afternoon courses are:
​Absolute Beginners: 07, 14 & 21 September 2018 on Friday afternoons.
Beyond Beginners:  05, 12 & 19 October 2018 on Friday afternoons.

Our next evening courses are:
Absolute Beginners: 2, 9 & 16 October on Tuesday evenings.
Beyond Beginners: 30 October and 6 & 13 November on Tuesday evenings.

We also have an option for you to register interest for a course if you can't make the dates already listed.  Just click below and put your name down and we will inform you when we have dates.

Gaelle is also offering some short sessions beginning with a session to build your skills.

Based around the final session of our usual crochet course, this session will teach you how to read charts and how to take your crochet in different directions so that you won't be stuck at straight lines.

Sandrine Shawl
A shawl is a perfect gift for a birthday, Christmas or just to keep for yourself (especially to keep for yourself!).
