Workshops
Crochet fashion accessories
Crochet is the new knitting! In this two-part beginner’s workshop, you’ll learn basic crochet stitches to create colorful flowers and necklaces. (Wear your flowers as corsages, pin them on handbags or even attach them to hair clips!)
In the first session, we’ll teach you to create a chain, a slipped stitch and double crochet to fashion basic flowers. In the second session, you’ll learn half and full treble stitches to make a more formal, stylised flower and get a start on a lovely crocheted sphere necklace.
All materials provided, including a wide selection of wool, a crochet hook and various embellishments, plus take-home patterns and instructions. No previous crochet experience needed.
