Hobbycraft Beginner's Guide to Crochet Workshop

Hobbycraft in Leeds is running a beginner's guide to crochet workshop, a 90-minute session led by one of their own colleagues. It's built for complete beginners, so you don't need to have ever touched a crochet hook before you walk through the door. The only real requirement is that you're 14 or over.

On the day, you'll be given a crochet craft kit to work with, and you get to take both the kit and whatever you've made home with you. The whole thing is run in-store, so it's a chance to pick up the basics in person rather than trying to figure it out from a video. If you've been wanting to get into it but weren't sure where to start, this is a straightforward way to get the first few stitches sorted.

One thing to keep in mind is how it's sold. It's a gift voucher rather than a dated event, which means you aren't booking a specific day and time right away. Once you've got the voucher, you can book any available date at the Leeds store within 12 months of purchase, so you can fit it in whenever suits you best. It's the same format running at 88 Hobbycraft locations across the UK, each with its own set of dates and times to choose from.

The voucher costs £29, and the session itself lasts 90 minutes.
