It is a great way to build on your foundational skills, expand your crochet knowledge, and grow in confidence.Every week we will work on a different striped or checked pattern, and through making these samples we will explore working with different stitch heights, carrying strands across a row, and increasing and decreasing.A kit including some yarns and a hook will be provided to make your samples. You may bring your own yarn and tools if you prefer, and a notebook if you like to make lots of notes.Course outlineWEEK ONE: Colourwork - We will learn how to work with multiple colours within a row to create a checked pattern, and will explore the technique further, looking at how to create other shapes and motifs.WEEK TWO: Wave stitches - we will explore using combinations of double and treble stitches and changing colours to create different striped wavy patterns.WEEK THREE: Chevron stripes - We will learn the chevron stitch, working stitches together and working multiple stitches in the same space to understand the technique and experiment with scale and repeats.WEEK FOUR: Practice and recaps – no new stitch today! We will have some time to practice all the techniques covered, ask questions, and troubleshoot anything we had problems with. You can also bring project ideas to this session for some advice on getting going.This course is suitable for experienced beginners who have a grasp of basic crochet skills and want to increase their knowledge of different stitches and techniques. The level is appropriate for those who have completed a Crochet Foundation with Cathy, or who are comfortable with foundation chains, and double and treble crochet stitches.This course takes place on Monday evenings, 6:30pm - 8:30pm - 23rd Feb & 2nd, 9th, 16th March Early Bird Tickets are available until 7 days before the event/until they sell out!Booking early helps independent facilitators like me to organise events in a cost and energy efficient manner, which gives us more time and energy to make the workshops fantastic for you. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/c7e0ee20-e629-11f0-b7b0-857f6901e30e-rimg-w1111-h740-dcefeff0-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/c7feaf50-e629-11f0-a49b-adc4455cf035-rimg-w1110-h740-dcaaa7a6-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/c8522680-e629-11f0-b7b0-857f6901e30e-rimg-w740-h740-dcd5c6c3-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/c8819af0-e629-11f0-a49b-adc4455cf035-rimg-w1110-h740-dc472e18-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/c8ebce70-e629-11f0-a983-4dfa8e48b99b-rimg-w740-h740-dcedd9c0-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brighton-and-hove/crochet-for-improvers-stripes-and-checks-monday-evenings-feb-and-march/100001977025576720 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 119.89, max: 136.14, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Brighton and Hove - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Kingsway House - **lat**: 50.82800819999999 - **long**: -0.17413 - **full address**: Kingsway House, 134-140 Church Road, Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Crochet For Improvers: Stripes and Checks - Monday Evenings - Feb & March - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/07428e4aeefe71422e6e2c8da4fc36a6ccb96cd9cc04e014672f64940d1b03bd-rimg-w1200-h800-dc301706-gmir.jpg?v=1767172761 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Crochet For Improvers: Stripes and Checks - Monday Evenings - Feb & March being held? - **A:** Crochet For Improvers: Stripes and Checks - Monday Evenings - Feb & March takes place on Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Mon, 16 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Kingsway House, 134-140 Church Road, Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Crochet For Improvers: Stripes and Checks - Monday Evenings - Feb & March? - **A:** Ticket prices for Crochet For Improvers: Stripes and Checks - Monday Evenings - Feb & March range from GBP 120 to GBP 136 depending on the ticket type.
