This beginner-friendly course is perfect for absolute novices, providing everything you need to get started.

Over the course of 5 weeks, you’ll learn the basics of crochet, choosing from one of four fun patterns: a hat, snood, fingerless gloves, or a headband. By the end of the course, you’ll walk away with your very own crocheted accessory and the skills to take on future projects!

By the end of the course, you will:
- Understand the materials needed to complete a crochet project.
- Become familiar with crochet terminology and commonly used foundation stitches.
- Complete your own handmade accessory, ready to wear or gift!

Your instructor, Naomi Ticehurst, is the owner of independent craft business Never Without Wool. Naomi has been crocheting and knitting since childhood, learning from her Mum and Grandma. What started as a relaxing hobby has blossomed into a business, where she creates handmade accessories, which she sells at local craft events in West Berkshire, including The Base's Winter Craft Fair.
