Description
All of our new Tailored Learning courses are matched to one of seven 'purposes' which have been designed by the Department for Education to recognise the wider benefits of learning. This course will help you to engage and build confidence in learning.
Learn something new. Crochet is a craft that is super easy and fun to do because when you get the hang of it you can make just about anything. All you need to do is get used to holding your hook and your yarn, make a slip knot, crochet a chain and your good to go! In addition you will also learn how to crochet basic stitches and read a pattern. Crocheting can help build self-esteem/confidence, improve dexterity and fine motor skills.
Who is this course for?
This course is for you if you are a beginner or new to crochet. Our Tailored Learning courses are for people who live in Derbyshire aged 19 and over.
How will I learn?
This is a classroom-based course. Your tutor will discuss with you what crochet stitches you will be learning and show you how to do these. Your tutor will give you support and feedback so you know what to do to improve.
What will I need?
Bring with you any wool you would like to use and a crochet hook either size 3mm, 3.5mm or 4mm. You will be provided with a list of the materials and/or equipment you need for the course each week. You may want to bring something to make notes.
This course is free and there are no other costs.
