Learn to Crochet

Learn how to crochet and have fun while making new friends

Learn the basic crochet stitches and use them to make a project of your choice (wash cloth, tote bag, drink bottle holder). All you need is a crochet hook and some cotton yarn: (details and suggestions will be provided before the class starts).

Become inspired to continue at home and to create other items at your own pace later.

We ask everyone brings their own hook and yarn for their own projects, that way you can continue your work at home, if you would like to. However, for the first class the instructor will have some equipment to spare. You are welcome to use this for the first class – the teacher will then chat with you about the equipment you will need for your project going forward.

Dates Tuesdays, 24 February – 31 March (6 weeks)
Time 6pm – 8pm
Location 4 Warnock St, Grey Lynn
Cost $80 – $160
