Learn to knit or crochet in a small, friendly group

Nicki is an experienced knitting and crochet tutor who runs friendly, small-group courses designed to help beginners get started, and improvers build confidence.

Each short course comprises three classes and costs £48.00 – you have time to practice between classes. Classes run from 19:00–21:00 on Tuesday evenings. Places are limited to five students, so everyone receives plenty of individual help. Classes take place at the Being Knitterly Studio in Loughborough.

What you can expect from your courses

  • A friendly evening of knitting or crochet with a small group (maximum five students).
  • Clear demonstrations and step-by-step guidance.
  • Plenty of time to practise new techniques and ask questions.
  • Individual help if you get stuck.
  • Written instructions to take home.
  • Hot drinks and biscuits.

You’ll leave with new skills, written instructions, and the confidence to continue the technique at home.

To book your course, add each of your chosen three dates to the basket.
