This is a very special course and a chance to learn an ancient and almost lost, Scandinavian crochet stitch. You will be helping to keep this very old technique alive and most likely engaging in a craft that your ancestors were adept at, hundreds of years ago! It’s a beautiful connection to our Nordic roots. And even if you have no Viking DNA, it’s still a fascinating and worthwhile technique to learn.

I was fortunate enough to have attended a weekend course back in 2016 where I was taught “Crochet Nålebinding” by an expert in Scandinavian textiles, Lucinda Guy. She was very pleased when I asked if I could teach it to my students. Her and the lady that rediscovered the stitch, Ulrika Andersson are very keen to make sure this ancient stitch isn’t lost again!

It’s a really lovely stitch that’s easy to do once you get the hang of it and it creates fabric quite quickly. I hope you’ll love it as much as I do! If time allows, we will also get the chance to do a little bit of “Slip Stitch Colour-work” which was often used to decorate traditional Scandinavian accessories.

NOTE: The socks are quite thick, so they are more of a slipper sock or welly sock than one you’d wear with shoes.

You’ll learn:

• Crochet Nålebinding stitch
• Starting off and finishing with Crochet Nålebinding stitch
• Increasing and decreasing
• Toe-up sock construction with afterthought heel
• Top-down mitten with thumb gusset
• Slip stitch colour-work (if there’s time – this requries a pjoning hook)
• Braided bind off (a very traditional Scandinavian technique)

N.B. All of the sock construction techniques can be applied to normal crocheted socks.

Tools

Students will need to bring:

• 3mm & 3.5mm crochet hooks.
• Locking stitch markers.
• Scissors.
• Darning needle.
• Pjoning hook (optional if you want to do the slip stitch colour work – I will have some locally made ones for sale for £5 each)

Materials

The traditional technique would have used a relatively unprocessed fibre made from 100% Swedish wool.
This is important for this particular technique because the finished item is fulled (partially felted) for additional warmth. Cotton, superwash wool or overly processed yarns will not work with this particular technique.

I recommend using Ullcentrum 2ply Sportweight. You’ll need between 110-120g. Either in one colour or 90-100g in a main colour and 20g in a contrasting colour.

I have ordered some of this yarn from Sweden and with shipping it works out at about £14 per skein. I have a selection of colours available.

If you would like to source your own yarn from the UK, I would recommend the following alternatives:

• Black Isle Yarns Auchen Light DK
• Jamieson’s of Shetland DK (this is a bit thicker but will still work) note these are only 25g balls so you will need 6.

Should you need to cancel, refunds for the course can only be given up to 14 days before the start of the course and are subject to an administration fee of £15. After this time, i.e. 30/12/24, I am unable to issue refunds as I have already committed to the hire of the venue and the purchase of all course materials and it doesn’t leave me enough time to find a replacement student to make the course financially viable for me.

FAQ

Q: Why is the course 4 weeks long?
A : I have seen many day classes and classes that are a couple of hours long, promising to teach you to crochet. Of course there are some that can pick things up very quickly, but a key element of learning to crochet is muscle memory… this is very difficult to achieve in a short, one off class. In fact, a large percentage of my students had previously attended these kinds of classes and not quite managed to commit the techniques to memory. My immersive courses allow you to go home and practice what you’ve learnt in class and come back to me the following week for help with anything you’re unsure of. This 4 week structure really allows the skills to sink in and stick!

Q: I would like to attend your course but I am not able to make all the classes.
A : You can still get a lot out of the course, even if you have to skip some of the weeks, however,  Week 1 & Week 2 are mandatory. Each class builds on the skills learnt in the previous class. It’s very difficult for me to re-teach a whole missed class for one student and then fit in the content for the scheduled class. I have tried to do this in the past and ends up being unsatisfactory for the the student trying to catch up and also for the other students who didn’t miss a class. You will be sent class notes and videos (where applicable) for any classes missed and I’m happy to help via email/WhatsApp. The full cost of the course also applies, even if you can only make some of the classes.

Q: I am left handed, what what are my options?
A: Although I crochet and teach right handed, I have taught many left-handed students. Crochet is a two handed craft which does rely heavily on the left hand. Right handed students have to learn to control their non dominant left hand so I always encourage you to start off giving it a go with your non-dominant right hand. Most of my left handed students end up learning right handed. If you find this too difficult you can switch to left handed. Although I cannot demonstrate, I am still able to talk you through the steps for making stitches and also spot & correct any mistakes. Please make sure you are happy with this, as I appreciate that I may not be the correct teacher for you if you already know you are very left hand dominant.

Q: Is this class suitable for children (under 18s)?
A: This is not a straightforward answer, please click this link to read my full policy on teaching children.

Q: I do not need the starter kit as I have my own yarn and hooks.
A: After many years of teaching crochet to beginners, I have found that the hooks and yarn used make a massive difference to how easily the student picks up the technique and how much they enjoy the experience. Students that bring unsuitable equipment invariably end up frustrated so I have made the decision to provide and include all the materials in the cost of the course.

Q: I am a knitter. I’d like to crochet but I’m worried I won’t be able to.
A: Yes, I have come across this concern many times. There still seems to be a misconception that you either knit or crochet… of course you can do both! Often those with previous experience of knitting or other types of handicrafts can find picking up a new skill relatively easy.

Q: I use a wheelchair, is there wheelchair access to the studio?
A: Yes, there is a ramp into the studio. Please get in touch when you book and I will double check with the staff at the Riverhouse that everything is set up correctly for you.

Q: The dates of this course don’t suit me, will you be running another course and if so, when?
A: Yes, I run my beginners classes regularly. The best way to stay up to date with my courses is to sign up to my newsletter here: Mezzacraft Newsletter .

Q: What are your terms & conditions?
A: Please read our full terms and conditions here: Terms & Conditions

Important – Cancellation Policy Update

I have hesitated to implement this policy in the past, although it has always been in place as part of my terms & conditions. However, due to a high dropout rate for some of my recent courses, sometimes days before the course starts, I have been left in a situation where I am often not covering my costs and/or earning even a minimum wage. Therefore, I regret that I will now have to implement the policy so that I am able to continue teaching. Should you need to cancel, refunds for the course can only be given up to 14 days before the start of the course and are subject to an administration fee of £15. After this time, i.e. 20/05/25, I am unable to issue refunds as I have already committed to the hire of the venue and the purchase of all course materials and it doesn’t leave me enough time to find a replacement student to make the course financially viable. Of course, full refunds will be given in the event that the course is cancelled due to Riverhouse Barn or I cancelling the course. Thank you for your understanding.

Important – Cancellation & Transfer Policy Update

I regret that since teaching is my primary source of income, I must apply my cancellation policy more stringently to ensure I am not left in a situation where I am not covering my costs and/or earning even a minimum wage.  
Cancellations : Should you need to cancel, refunds for the course can only be given up to 14 days before the start of the course and are subject to an administration fee of £15. After this time, i.e. 17/11/24, I am unable to issue refunds as I have already committed to the hire of the venue and the purchase of all course materials and it doesn’t leave me enough time to find a replacement student to make the course financially viable. Of course, full refunds will be given in the event that the course is cancelled due to the venue or I cancelling the course.
Transfers : If you need to transfer from the same course to a different date or time, this must be done no later than 14 days before the start of the course. After this time, i.e. 17/11/24, additional fees will apply, depending on how many bookings I have on each course.
Thank you for your understanding.

Let’s learn Mosaic or Overlay Crochet!

Skill Level : Improvers

You must be confident with basic stitches such as sc (UK dc) & dc (UK tr). This is NOT a learn to crochet course. All the specific stitches for this technique are taught in class.

Course Structure

The first 2 weeks we’ll be learning the techniques. For the last 2 weeks we’ll be making our final project. I have a design you can follow. More advanced students can create their own designs once they are familiar with the techniques.

Dates & Times

• Week 1 : Thursday 7th November, 10:00-12:00pm
• Week 2 : Thursday 14th November, 10:00-12:00pm
• Week 3 : Thursday 21st November, 10:00-12:00pm
• Week 4 : Thursday 28th November, 10:00-12:00pm

Venue

The Princess Royal,
Guildford Road,
Runfold,
Farnham,
Surrey, GU10 1NX

Cost of the Course

£80

What’s included?

• 4 x2 hour sessions.
• Printed class notes.
• Online resources for key techniques – this course does not have the full curriculum online.

Tools & Materials

You will need to supply your own DK yarn & hooks (details below) for your final project.
Hooks: 3.5mm & 4mm.

If you are not able to source yarn before the first class, don’t worry, I have some scrap yarn that you can practice the techniques with. Please bring hooks though!

Choosing the right yarn for your project.

We will be using a DK yarn for this project.

You’ll need at least 3 colours, and 375m per colour. You will need to check the yardage of your chosen yarn. It should be roughly 3x50g balls per colour BUT PLEASE CHECK THE SPECIFIC YARDAGE of your chosen yarn if you are not using any of my suggested yarns. Get in touch if you are not sure.

1. Natural yarns work best, such as cotton & wool.
2. As usual, I would avoid very dark colours for learning the techniques.
3. “Stable” yarns work best – very squishy merinos and silks may not give the desired result.
4. Avoid silky, shiny, “fancy” or “fashion” yarns which includes fur type yarns or yarns with added “bits” or “textures” as you will struggle to work with it and it will also conceal the stitch texture.
5. Rule of thumb – if you are in a position to buy extra yarn to be on the safe side, please do!

Here are some suggested yarns. These are just suggestions, you don’t have to get any of these but it will give you an idea of the kind of thing that would work.

• Paintbox Cotton DK
• The Yarn Collective Bloomsbury DK
• Valley Yarns Haydenville DK (Merino Blend)
• Willow & Lark Poetry (Merino Blend)
• Cascade Superwash

Important – Cancellation & Transfer Policy Update

I regret that since teaching is my primary source of income, I must apply my cancellation policy more stringently to ensure I am not left in a situation where I am not covering my costs and/or earning even a minimum wage.  
Cancellations : Should you need to cancel, refunds for the course can only be given up to 14 days before the start of the course and are subject to an administration fee of £15. After this time, i.e. 21/10/24, I am unable to issue refunds as I have already committed to the hire of the venue and the purchase of all course materials and it doesn’t leave me enough time to find a replacement student to make the course financially viable. Of course, full refunds will be given in the event that the course is cancelled due to the venue or I cancelling the course.
Transfers : If you need to transfer from the same course to a different date or time, this must be done no later than 14 days before the start of the course. After this time, i.e. 21/10/24, additional fees will apply, depending on how many bookings I have on each course.

Running on Tuesdays from 7:30-9:30pm at the Riverhouse Barn Arts Centre, Learn to Crochet Walton-on-Thames, Surrey!

My beginners crochet course, consists of four, two hour classes where you will get to grips with all the basics needed to get you competent and confident in the art of crochet.

I have developed a special project that covers starting off, chaining, the basic stitches and joining motifs together for a finished item.

This learn to crochet course is for you if you are :

• a complete beginner and you’ve never even picked up a hook.
• someone that has dabbled in crochet but never really got to grips with it.
• someone that may have crocheted many years ago but need refreshing on the basic techniques.
• self-taught from the internet but want to make sure you’re not picking up any bad habits.

As well as my expert guidance and hands on practical work, the course includes detailed class notes with photo tutorials AND everything you need, including hook, yarn, needles, stitch markers and a handy project bag.

You’ll be making a small item which will teach you how to make a traditional and solid granny square.
You will learn all the essential techniques that can be applied to most basic projects such as:

• choosing the right size hook and yarn
• how to hold your hook and yarn
• chaining
• slip stitch, single & double crochet
• crochet chart symbols
• how to make a square
• how to change colours
• how to join motifs using sewing and crochet

FAQ

Q: Why is the course 4 weeks long?
A : I have seen many day classes and classes that are a couple of hours long, promising to teach you to crochet. Of course there are some that can pick things up very quickly, but a key element of learning to crochet is muscle memory… this is very difficult to achieve in a short, one off class. In fact, a large percentage of my students had previously attended these kinds of classes and not quite managed to commit the techniques to memory. My immersive courses allow you to go home and practice what you’ve learnt in class and come back to me the following week for help with anything you’re unsure of. This 4 week structure really allows the skills to sink in and stick!

Q: I would like to attend your course but I am not able to make all the classes.
A : You can still get a lot out of the course, even if you have to skip some of the weeks, however,  Week 1 & Week 2 are mandatory. It’s very difficult for me to re-teach a whole missed class for one student and then fit in the content for the scheduled class. I have tried to do this in the past and ends up being unsatisfactory for the the student trying to catch up and also for the other students who didn’t miss a class. You will be sent class notes and videos (where applicable) for any classes missed and I’m happy to help via email/WhatsApp. The full cost of the course also applies, even if you can only make some of the classes.

Q: Is this class suitable for children (under 18s)?
A: This is not a straightforward answer, please click this link to read my full policy on teaching children.

Q: I do not need the starter kit as I have my own yarn and hooks.
A: After many years of teaching crochet to beginners, I have found that the hooks and yarn used make a massive difference to how easily the student picks up the technique and how much they enjoy the experience. Students that bring unsuitable equipment invariably end up frustrated so I have made the decision to provide and include all the materials in the cost of the course.

Q: I am a knitter. I’d like to crochet but I’m worried I won’t be able to.
A: Yes, I have come across this concern many times. There still seems to be a misconception that you either knit or crochet… of course you can do both! Often those with previous experience of knitting or other types of handicrafts can find picking up a new skill relatively easy.

Q: I use a wheelchair, is there wheelchair access to the studio?
A: Yes, there is a ramp into the studio. Please get in touch when you book and I will double check with the staff at the Riverhouse that everything is set up correctly for you.

Q: The dates of this course don’t suit me, will you be running another course and if so, when?
A: Yes, I run my beginners classes regularly. The best way to stay up to date with my courses is to sign up to my newsletter here: Mezzacraft Newsletter .

Q: What are your terms & conditions?
A: Please read our full terms and conditions here: Terms & Conditions

Important – Cancellation Policy Update

I have hesitated to implement this policy in the past, although it has always been in place as part of my terms & conditions. However, due to a high dropout rate for some of my recent courses, sometimes days before the course starts, I have been left in a situation where I am often not covering my costs and/or earning even a minimum wage. Therefore, I regret that I will now have to implement the policy so that I am able to continue teaching. Should you need to cancel, refunds for the course can only be given up to 14 days before the start of the course and are subject to an administration fee of £15. After this time, i.e. 01/01/25, I am unable to issue refunds as I have already committed to the hire of the venue and the purchase of all course materials and it doesn’t leave me enough time to find a replacement student to make the course financially viable. Of course, full refunds will be given in the event that the course is cancelled due to Riverhouse Barn or I cancelling the course. Thank you for your understanding.
