About the event
This course bridges the gap between traditional craft and modern sustainability.
Focus on upcycling resources, turning unravelled wool or leftover skeins into high-quality winter wear.
Learn to “read” crochet patterns like a second language. You will cover stitch counting and row tracking to ensure your projects are symmetrical and professional.
Start with a textured scarf, move into a fitted beanie, and begin a patchwork knee rug.
Beginners will learn the foundations (chain, single, double crochet), while intermediate learners will tackle pattern reading, colour changes, and complex.
Jug will be on, tea and coffee provided. Please bring a plate of kai if you can, there’s nothing like a snack and a yarn to keep the creative energy flowing.
