With Natasha Harb
Kids and teens will learn how to crochet to make their own accessories and toys in this fun 2 day course! Crochet is a great challenge for young minds, and the possibilities are endless when they know how to do the basic stitches.
On the first day they will learn the basic and common stitches, how to hold the crochet hook, how to hold and work with the yarn and how to read crochet patterns. They will make some fun, funky wristbands and necklaces that they will be making for all their friends in no time. They will practice their new crochet skills and learn to crochet in rows to make a chunky yarn scarf. Students that already know how to crochet will have a selection of other projects to crochet.
On the second day students will crochet a headband or cuff with fluffy chenille yarn. They will then get to crochet their own adorable whale toy as an introduction to Amigurumi crochet.
They will start practicing their stitches, learn how to change colours and tie off their yarn ends. Then you will learn how to crochet in the round to create a 3-dimensional whale or creature. They will be taught how to crochet in 3D by increasing and decreasing stitches, plus learn how to add features to their creature like fins and facial features to create character.
With the skills they learn in this workshop they can then go on to attempt more difficult patterns for toys, accessories, blankets, clothing, and even come up with their own designs!
This workshop is suitable for all levels from complete beginners and up, aged 9 years old and up. All tools and materials are provided. Make sure you book a spot quickly in our small-sized class with a maximum of 6 students.
