Want to learn to crochet? This school holiday program was designed to introduce teens aged 12 to 17 to the fascinating world of crochet, a unique fibre art that machines can’t replicate. Participants would have been guided through the basics, from creating neat chains to combining stitches to form patterns, all while having fun and making something special to take home.
What to Expect
This engaging workshop would have provided all the materials and equipment needed, including a crochet hook and yarn to keep. Teens would have learned to create stitches that look professional rather than knotted, and how to combine different stitch types to create interesting shapes and patterns. It was a chance to embrace a creative skill that’s both relaxing and rewarding.
