It’s easy to start with our course by your side. You can get stuck in and make something straight away from a crocheted rug for your mug to a snug coat. Simply follow the clear step-by-step illustrations showing different crochet stitches and patterns to inspire you.
Start this satisfying and engrossing hobby where you can wrap yourself in beautiful sustainable clothes you’ve produced and decorate your home with incredible cushions, rugs and placemats.
Not only is itinexpensive, learning to crochet has many other positives, like:
- Being meditative and mindful. The relaxed, repetitive motions when you crochet are calming and soothe away stress
