This is the last course of the year! Let’s make a cosy winter hat – think classic woolly hat – with or without a bobble, it’s up to you. I’m running this Crochet a Hat Course in the daytime on Mondyas and in the evenings on a Thursday, both at St. Erconwald’s 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, such as chaining, single crochet (UK dc), slip stitching & 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.
Crochet a Hat Overview
- Basic principles of the pattern.
- How to create shaping using stitches of different heights.
- How to make an extended single crochet (UK extended double crochet).
- How to adjust for fit.
- How to make a pom pom (if you want a bobble hat).
BONUS
You’ll also get a FREE copy of my Droman Hat Pattern, published in Journals of Scottish Yarns !
Dates
This is a 2 week course, running on either Monday afternoons or Thursday evenings:
- 8th & 15th December 12:45-2:45pm – St. Erconwalds Church hall.
- 11th & 18th December 7:30-9:30pm – St. Erconwalds Church hall.
Cost
The course is £40 for 2 weeks. Materials NOT included.
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 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.
