About this course

This course, which is for absolute beginners, will help you to follow simple patterns and use basic crochet stitches to create small projects.


During the course, we will cover:

  • How to read yarn labels
  • Consideration of different types of yarn
  • The basics of crochet, starting from no knowledge or skills at all
  • Basic crochet stitches, how to start from a foundation chain, how to start from a circle and working in a round.
  • Basic crochet abbreviations
  • An introduction to reading basic patterns

To participate in this course, you will need:

  • 4.5mm hook
  • Double knitting yarn (lighter colours as they are easier to see)

If learners have any difficulties with their hands and movement, it is suggested that they try a larger crochet hook 8mm, and use chunky yarn
