Beginner-friendly crochet workshop to make a basic granny square, with materials and light refreshments provided.
Meet Me at Mabel's is running a Learn to Crochet workshop on Monday 23 November, with a second date on Monday 7 December. Both run from 19:00 to 21:30, so you've got two and a half hours to get your head around it.
The focus of the session is the granny square. It's a classic for a reason: it's one of the first things you can really get your teeth into without feeling completely out of your depth. The workshop walks you through making a basic square from scratch, and once you've got that down, you've got the building block for plenty of other things. A few of those squares joined together make a blanket; a handful can become a bag; and they work their way into clothing too. It's the kind of thing that gives you a proper starting point rather than just a one-off project.
It's aimed at complete beginners, so you don't need to have ever touched a crochet hook before. It's also for anyone returning to the craft who might have let it slip and wants to get back into the swing of things. You'll be working in a small group, which makes it a lot easier to get a hand when you're stuck on a particular stitch.
