//  by //  Leave a Comment

Chevrons & Ripples Course, Farnham – this is a four-week course (4 x 2 hour sessions), running Thursday mornings. On this course we’ll be exploring how increases and decreases can be used to create fabric that zig-zags and undulates.

For the first two weeks we’ll be exploring the techniques and “rules” and for the last two weeks we will be working on a larger project of your choice.

You’ll be learning how to:

  • work flat fabric, crocheting in turned rows.
  • make different types of increases and decreases.
  • keep edges straight.
  • add borders to raw edges.
  • straighten out or fill a zig-zag edge.
  • work and adjust pattern repeats.
  • modify a chevron pattern.

Skill level: Intermediates or improvers

Students must be confident with basic crochet stitches such as:

  • chaining
  • single crochet (UK double)
  • double crochet (UK treble)
  • slip stitching
  • fastening off

All other techniques will be taught in class.

As well as my guidance and hands on practical work, the course includes detailed class notes with photo tutorials and access to videos that go over key techniques covered in class.

Materials required:

If you would like me to bring materials, please leave a message when booking. I will only be ordering what people ask for so won’t have many spares:

//  by //  Leave a Comment

I’m running this Crochet Winter Wreath Course in the daytime at the Riverhouse Barn and in the evening at St. Erconwald’s – both in Walton-on-Thames. Please make sure you book the correct session.

Skill Level

For this course, students must be competent with basic crochet techniques, particularly double crochet (UK treble), single crochet (UK dc), counting stitches & pattern reading. All other stitches and techniques are taught in class. This is a great course for improvers as it will cover lots of different techniques.

Please note: this is NOT a learn to crochet course.

Crochet Winter Wreath Course Overview

  • Making “natural” elements such as fir cones, mistletoe, mushrooms and more.
  • How to make a wreath from scratch.
  • How to arrange and attach your elements.

Dates

This is a 3 week course, running on either Monday afternoons or Monday evenings:

  1. 10th, 17th & 24th November 12:30-2:30pm – Riverhouse Barn.
  2. 10th, 17th & 24th November 7:30-9:30pm – St. Erconwalds Church hall.

Cost

The course is £60 for 3 weeks. Materials are NOT included but I will have a kit available to purchase (price and contents TBC).

Class Format

All my classes come with detailed class notes and pattern. I provide samples and practical demonstrations of all techniques, helping and encouraging students with hands on assistance so that they can feel confident with their new found skills.

IMPORTANT: This is a new course and there is currently NO video content. I will have some very limited capacity during the 3 week course to create a couple of videos for specific techniques that students are struggling with. Therefore, please treat this course as an in-person only course.

Materials & Tools

Yarn: We’ll be using Catona Cotton because it comes in a great range of colours and is relatively good value. You’ll need natural foliage colours such as greens, brown for fircones, red and white for berries. I will provide more information closer to the time.

Hooks: 2.5mm – 3mm

Other: Scissors, wool needle, stitch markers etc.

Wreath : A natural twig wreath is my preference – it looks great and saves time. However, I will also show you how to crochet your own wreath.

Stuffing : Natural fibres are preferable (kapok), altenatively, repurposed stuffing from old cushions/pillows etc is a great choice. Please avoid buying polyester filling – it’s bad for the environment and bad for us.

Course Sign Up & Payment

Polite request: Many of my students work day jobs and are therefore unable to attend the daytime sessions. If you are free during the day, please consider booking the daytime, rather than the evening, so that more people have a chance to take part – thank you ♡

How to Join Crochet Blocks with Different Stitch Counts – sl st join on wrong side of work

//  by //  Leave a Comment

I’ve created a video tutorial to show you how to join crochet blocks with different stitch counts. It’s a useful join that enables you to easily adjust for stitch count anomalies. For example, when you have two motifs that are the same size but have different stitch counts.

The yarn I’ve used in the tutorial is Cotton DK by @yarnsmiths in Olive Green and Off White. For the blanket I have used Blush & Vanilla Fudge.

The motifs I have used in this tutorial are my “Two Colour Traditional Granny Square” & “Two Colour Solid Granny Square”. You can find video tutorials and downloadable PDF instructions on my FREE Crochet Motif Directory which you’ll find on my learning platform (requires login*).

The join is worked on the wrong side of the fabric, through the back loops of the stitches. You’ll need to go up a hook size. I.e. if you used a 3.5mm for the motifs, you’ll need to use a 4mm for the slip stitch join. This is because slip stitches have a much tighter gauge and you don’t want the seams the pucker.

Crochet Hot-water Bottle or Cushion Cover – Walton-on-Thames – Starting 22/9/25

//  by //  Leave a Comment

We are starting the term with a fun & relaxed project! Crochet a hot-water bottle cover or cushion cover on this 2 week course (2 x 2 hour sessions). I’m running this as a daytime course at the Riverhouse Barn and as an evening course at St. Erconwald’s – both in Walton-on-Thames. Please make sure you book the correct session.

Skill Level

Students must be competent with basic crochet techniques, particularly single crochet (UK double), double crochet (UK treble) & counting stitches. All other stitches and techniques are taught in class. This is a great course for improvers.
Please note: this is NOT a learn to crochet course.

Course Overview

  • How to make the motifs.
  • How to join the motifs to make the front & back of the covers.
  • Adjusting to get the correct fit.
  • How to seam the pieces.
  • How to make button closures.

Dates

This is a 2 week course, running on either Monday afternoons or Monday evenings:

  1. 22nd & 29th September 12:30-2:30pm – Riverhouse Barn.
  2. 22nd & 29th September 7:30-9:30pm – St. Erconwalds Church hall.

Cost

The course is £40 for 2 weeks. Materials NOT included, however, I am currently putting some kits together.

Class Format

All my classes come with detailed class notes and pattern. I provide samples and practical demonstrations of all techniques, helping and encouraging students with hands on assistance so that they can feel confident with their new found skills.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a new course and there is currently NO video content. I will have some very limited capacity during the 2 week course to create a couple of videos for specific techniques that students are struggling with. Therefore, please treat this course as an in-person only course.

Materials & Tools

The hot-water bottle cover uses 4 x 50g balls of DK Merino from Yarnsmiths, locking stitch markers and a 3.5mm crochet hook. You could also use 100% cotton in DK – but you may need more yarn as there is usually less yardage per 50g with cotton. You’ll also need 3-4 flat buttons (minimum 15mm dia).
