Crochet Skills Saturday 2

It’s the second part of our two short skills sessions brought to you by Sophie, our resident crochet expert AKA Campeycrafts on Instagram. Sophie will be giving you the confidence to try and begin to master some simple crochet techniques ready to help you move on in your crochet journey.

In this crochet skills session, Sophie will show attendees how to crochet a magic circle which is used in many different patterns. She will help you practice this skill and how to then work in to it with basic stitches. Sophie will then teach some simple sewing up techniques and will also help you have a better understanding of yarn substitutions, ready to follow patterns for yourself.

Please be aware that these are short skill sessions and you will be developing your skills through practicing rather than producing a crocheted item to take home. Get ready for a quick stop tour of crochet! This is a perfect session for those returning to crochet after a break OR those wanting to see what it’s all about before committing to a longer workshop.

Yarn, hook and light refreshments are included. 

Left or right handed, everyone is welcome from age 14 upwards.
