A4 week introduction to crochet for beginners with Kerry Ann.

Start from the very beginning discussing yarn, types of crochet hooks, how to hold them & how to hold your yarn to achieve good tension in your stitches, the difference between UK & American terminology & more!

Over the 4 weeks you will learn:

• How to tie a slip knot
• Chain stitch
• Double crochet
• Treble crochet
• Turning corners
• Changing yarn colour
• Finishing off

These skills will be taught and practiced in a relaxed friendly class, you will be creating  stitch samples to help you learn as you go. Kerry Ann will also explain how to recognise English and American patterns  and terminology to avoid confusion especially for beginners. As you progress across the 4 weeks Kerry Ann will discuss ways in which the stitches you are learning can be used and introduce you to granny squares!

You will need to bring:

• 2 balls of plain chunky wool- nothing fluffy – avoid dark colours such as black, navy, dark grey as it is harder to see the stitches

Provided for you:

• 1 x Crochet hook (choose from metal or handled)
• A series of samples made by Kerry Ann for your reference
• Lots of useful information sheets
• Tea, coffee, biscuits
