Let’s Crochet a Summer Top – Walton-on-Thames, Starting 8/6/26

mezza — Sun, 31 May 2026 14:02:19 +0000

Let’s crochet a Summer Top!
I have designed a simple summer top/t-shirt using a light yarn and an inverted v-stitch pattern.

The top features a relaxed fit, scoop neck and gentle cap sleeves.
Worked in two flat pieces which are made separately and then seamed by sewing.

We have the option for some subtle shaping in the body & shoulder sloping for optimized fit.

The level of shaping and size modification will depend on the skill level and confidence of the student.

Newish or improvers have to option to simplify the design.

Skill levels

Important : students must be confident with basic crochet techniques such as:

✧ dc(UK)/sc(US).
✧ tr(UK)/dc(US).
✧ slip stitching.
✧ chaining.
✧ counting stitches.
✧ reading basic pattern instructions.

If you have not crocheted anything in a while, make sure you re-familiarize yourself with these stitches, as we won’t have time for refreshing the basics.

All other techniques will be taught in class.

Adventurous Improvers

Will learn to:
✧ work in a foundation chain.
✧ crochet in turned rows (flat fabric).
✧ use a repeating stitch pattern.
✧ increase stitches in a repeating stitch pattern.
✧ improve chart reading skills.

Intermediate & Adventurous

Will explore:
✧ customizing fit.
✧ adding shaping to shoulders with stepped rows.
✧ using a chart to plan shaping.

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.

ools & Materials

To practice the stitch pattern in the first class, please bring some 4ply cotton yarn & a 3.5mm hook. You can also use DK cotton & a 4mm hook for practice.

For Making a Top

Hooks
You will need at least 2 different hook sizes. A main hook and a smaller hook for the hems and other bits.
Recommended sizes to bring:
✧ 3mm
✧ 3.25mm
✧ 3.5mm
✧ 3.75mm

What kind of yarn?
Yarns with a solid colour work best – variegated or multi-coloured yarns can detract from the stitch and make reading the stitches tricky.
A non-mercerised 4ply cotton works best.

How much Yarn?
This really depends on what size you are making, the list below is a very rough guide based on 185.91 yds or 170 m per 50g ball.

✧ Small – 6 balls
✧ Medium – 8 balls
✧ Large – 10 balls
✧ X Large – 12 balls
✧ and so forth.

Alternative yarn ideas

Don’t like cotton?
You could also try a 4ply sock yarn, a merino blend would work. Linen blends would also be worth exploring.

Don’t like 4ply?
You could switch to a DK or sportweight in cotton or a merino blend – bear in mind this will make a more open fabric & a warmer garment.
You will of course need larger hooks if using DK:

✧ 3.5mm
✧ 3.75mm
✧ 4mm
✧ 4.25mm

Other Tools

✧ Small stitch markers – at least 30.
✧ Scissors
✧ Wool or tapestry needle
✧ Tape measure
✧ Ruler
✧ Pencil & rubber

Easy Striped Granny Square Cushion Cover – Free Crochet Pattern

mezza — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 21:36:01 +0000

I made this Easy Striped Granny Square Cushion Cover to use up scraps of cotton yarn left over from doing demos at my beginners classes. I also wanted to create an easy “next project” for my students so they could build on their newly acquired skills and really get their crochet muscle memory embedded!

The yarn I’ve used in the tutorial is Cotton DK by Ricorumi in various colours but you could use any DK cotton yarn.

The motifs I have used in this pattern are a slight variation of my “Solid Granny Square”. Take care to follow the instructions as not every round is the same as we need to do some extra increasing to stop the fabric becoming too “open” as the motif get bigger.

I have created a set of 3 video tutorials, with step by step instructions. You can find these video tutorials on my YouTube channel.

For PDF pattern instructions, please go to my Zenler learning platform and sign up. This is also FREE but does require login.

Hope you like it! Let me know how you get on

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: Do I need to practice between classes?
A : Definitely! Learning to crochet requires repetition to build muscle memory. Practicing between classes will enable you to get the most out of the course.

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: 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: Please check with The Guildford Institute.

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

Pre-Order the Twill Ripple Cowl Crochet Pattern

mezza — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 15:06:11 +0000

The Twill Ripple Cowl Crochet Pattern comes with written instructions (downloadable as a PDF) plus full video tutorials. Pre-order for 25% discount

I designed this pattern for my “Exploring Ripples & Chevrons” course that I taught in Walton-on-Thames & Farnham.
After lots of enquiries about this particular cowl from students that couldn’t make the course and also my lovely followers on my socials, I have decided to release this as a single pattern with full video tutorials.

Get ready for a relaxing and satisfying project, featuring:
✦ an easy to memorise chevron stitch pattern.
✦ alternating row colours.
✦ my technique for carrying the unused yarn up the inside of the cowl to eliminate having to sew in tails at the end of each round.

In this example I have used DK Organic Merino from Zakami Yarns in the colourways Velvet & Kodama.

Tools & Materials for the Twill Ripple Cowl Crochet Pattern

You’ll need DK yarn in 2 contrasting colours.
I highly recommend natural fibres such as merino wool.

Yardage:
Approx 450m of DK merino, 225m in each colour.

Examples:
✦ 2 x 100g of Arcadia DK by Ripples Craft Yarns (2 skeins)
✦ 2 x 100g of Non-Superwash Merino DK by Zakami Yarns (2 skeins)
✦ 4 x 50g of Merino DK by Yarnsmiths (4 balls).

Hooks:
✦ 4mm, 4.25mm or 4.5mm hook or hook size that gives the correct gauge.

Other Tools:
✦ Locking stitch markers.
✦ Wool or tapestry needle.

Important : please remember your yardage (the amount of yarn you need) may be more or less depending your own personal gauge. If you are in the position to buy more yarn than you need, that’s always a good option!
