Step into the world of freeform crochet, where every stitch can surprise and delight. For many, freeform feels intimidating, but Jenny Whiting shows how to turn familiar stitches and yarns into unique textures and shapes without fear.

Explore stitch combinations, textures, weights, and embellishments to create both dense and lacy fabrics, while learning which “rules” to follow and which to bend.

By the end, you’ll have practical guidelines, newfound confidence, and the freedom to let your hook roam, ready to begin your first truly original freeform project.

Teacher: Jenny Whiting
Date: Sunday 21 June
Duration: 2.00 - 5.00
Skill Level:  Easy: simple stitch patterns, colourwork and/or shaping
Inclusions: 

General admission for the day (Sunday, 21 June)

Handouts prepared by Jenny Whiting

Some additional fancy yarn to complement what you bring

Please bring the following with you to the workshop session:

      • A variety of weights, styles and colours of yarn from your stash
      • Crochet hooks in a range of sizes, ideally including one large hook, e.g. 8.0–12.0mm
      • Crochet stitch markers
      • Scissors and tapestry/yarn needle for finishing
      • Notebook and pen

      Workshop notes: While this workshop is classified as easy, it does assume a good working knowledge of basic crochet stitches and their use.

       

      This session will be delivered in-person only - no online offering will be made available.

      Please read our event terms including cancellation and privacy policy before booking.
