• Crochet for Beginners: Granny Squares
    Leigh Thornton

Learn to crochet granny squares at this beginner friendly introduction workshop. 

Using basic crochet stitches, you will make one of the most popular crochet items out there. Granny squares are so easy to make and super versatile. Once you sew a few together you can make everything from blankets to cardigans, toys, cushion covers and more.

The best part? You don't need to know how to crochet! You can join in on this friendly class as a complete beginner, pick up a crochet hook and dive right in. If you do have some crochet experience, you're also welcome to come. All the materials you need are supplied for you to use and take away with you. 

Throughout this workshop, we want to introduce you to the calming and mindful benefits of crochet, build your confidence and maybe even help you find your new favourite hobby!
