Inspired by beautiful Spring flowers, this workshop will teach you how to use your crochet skills to create a Primrose flower and turn it into a pretty garland with leaves. In this workshop the tutor will work with you through the Primrose flower pattern stitch by stitch, including techniques for joining new yarn colours, creating leaves and how to put your garland together. A relaxing workshop to get stuck into!
This is an upskiller workshop, basic knowledge and experience with crochet is needed. This pattern works with half treble and double treble stitches (UK terminology).
You will leave this workshop with a finished Primrose garland and the written pattern so you can confidently make more at home.
