Crocheting in the round with flowers

Join Steffi and learn how to crochet in the round!

This class is a great introduction to crocheting in the round for floral motifs. It’s for those who already have a grasp on some basic crochet stitches and want to elevate their skills to intermediate level.

Starting off with a floral mandala, students will conquer the magic ring and learn about standing stitches and invisible slip stitch for seamless finishes to rounds, then try out some more advanced stitches like popcorn and cluster stitch. Afterwards, students will progress onto other flowers with layered petals and crab stitch edging.

Light refreshments (drinks and biscuits) are included. Two x 25g balls of yarn are included in the price of the workshop. It is recommended you will need a minimum of 4 x 25g balls but you can choose to include more. A selection of colours will be available for you to pick from at the workshop for an additional charge payable on the day.

Children ages 14+ are welcome to attend. They must be accompanied by an adult. If both adult and child would like to participate in the workshop please purchase two tickets. If only the child wishes to take part please purchase 1 ticket.

Left or right handed, everyone is welcome.

What do you need to bring?

A 3mm crochet hook, preferably with a grip handle.

There will be a half hour break for lunch so feel free to bring some with you.
