About Beginners & Beyond Crochet-along - Floral Hot Water Bottle Cosy

Listed Under Arts and Crafts Events / Family and Kids Events / Online Events / Workshops Events

This isn't just a hot water bottle cosy! This is a hot water bottle cosy filled to the brim with all the basics skills you need to get started with crochet.

This beginners crochet-along is designed to give you a wee taste of the 3 main crochet stitches (SC, HDC and DC - US terms) and we'll use them to explore the foundation row, crocheting in rows, crocheting in the round, colour work, simple decorative finishing and a spot of flower making. All in 1 project.

There's lots of repetition, and there will be some homework along the way!!, but after 4 weeks you'll have hand crocheted your very own hot water bottle cosy and hopefully you'll be inspired to discover more about this beautiful craft.

Week 1 - 7 May | The Cosy - the foundation row, crochet in the round and increasing
Week 2 - 14 May | Stripes - colour work
Week 3 - 21 May | Flowers. Leaves & Bow Ties- crochet in the round and in rows and a bit of puff stitch!
Week 4 - 28 May | Final Flourishes - decreasing, decorative edges and detail

This workshop takes place via Zoom and you will need to have access to the materials listed below to crochet-along. It's ideal for absolute beginners, adventurous beginners, refreshing forgotten skills or maybe you just fancy some social crochet.

What you'll need to crochet-along:
• a 4.0mm crochet hook
• about 50g of double knit yarn in a main colour and extra yarn for colour work and decorative details
• a couple of stitch markers (safety pins or yarn scraps will do)
• scissors and a big eye needle

Taking this workshop is me, Sharon Goodwin from Sew Silly Lily. I'm a graduate of Glasgow School of Art with a lifelong passion for textiles, craft and design.
