Welcome to this crochet club for beginners!

In this weekly club, we will get together, chat about our week, and learn some fun crochet stitches.

There is no set curriculum, so you can just turn up with your yarn and hooks and get stuck in.

Some of the things we might learn together are:
- Creating a chain and foundation row
- Single crochet stitches, and building a swatch piece
- Double crochet stitches, and creating a mixed-stitch swatch
- Learning to crochet in the round, creating a simple flower
- Learning exciting new stitches, such as popcorn stitch or loop stitch

Here’s a little sample of what to expect each week:

We start by welcoming everyone, including any new members, and share anything we might have been working on that week with our crocheting.

If we have any new people, we might look at how to start crocheting with a chain or simple stitch, but if we are all confident with this, we might learn a new type of stitch and experiment with creating something simple, like a granny square or a flower.

Sometimes we all focus on what we are making, and other times we will just chat away, sharing interesting things about our week.

We all decide as a group each week what to work on, so everyone has the opportunity to share their ideas, and since everyone is a beginner, we can learn together, being patient and helpful to those who need to start from scratch.

If you are excited about learning to crochet and want to make crocheting friends, then this is the place for you!
