Beginner's class granny square

Saturday the 20th of August

99% Cafe, Mount Waverley - 10am - 3hr

Crochet is a simple and versatile craft, easy to pick up and easy to adapt in order to create anything your heart could desire. Learn the basics of this craft with the Melbourne Crochet Club in a cozy friendly venue. This $69pp 3-hour class is designed for those who have had little to no experience with a crochet hook. You will learn from our Professional Instructors - the basic stitches, such as double and treble crochets, chain stitches, slip stitches, their abbreviations, and how to crochet in the round. By the end of the class, you will have mastered these basic stitches and get started on your very own granny square. You will be provided with all the materials and instructions you need to create your own Granny Square creation! A complimentary non-alcoholic beverage is also included as part of the class price. When booked you will receive an email booking confirmation with the venue address and your Instructor's details.

I really enjoyed this event, Maddi was an excellent teacher and made sure she spent time with all attending. I was please to make a second granny square this time using a 3 hook and changing colours when I got home. In terms of operational matters I really appreciated the reminder emails, prompt follow up with course materials, and also Maddi emailing us with additional suggested resources. I really felt a lot of effort was put in to ensure new crocheters will succeed. I have been recommending these classes to my friends.

I really enjoyed this, even though this was a challenging new skill for me, I found the instructor to be very patient, knowledgeable and most importantly, approachable & friendly. Having a small group worked really well - I felt comfortable even though some others had a bit of background in crochet. I achieved what I wanted to, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Thanks Maddi!

Madelle Borschman

Madelle is a dyed in the wool (pun intended) crafter, having tried her hand at cross-stitch, sewing, weaving, painting and more, but the one that has stuck the most has been crochet. Having rediscovered the joy of crocheting during Melbourne's lockdowns, she is very excited to meet a new community of crocheters and pass on the love of this versatile and approachable craft.
