As a child, Rebecca’s Grandma Mary taught her how to crochet. Using intricate crochet stitches she made the most exquisite lacework but also showed her with just a few simple stitches how to make these beautiful ‘Granny’ squares.

If you have just started to crochet, then Mary’s Cushion is a perfect beginners follow-on project. It uses just 3 simple crochet stitches, slip stitch, dc (double crochet) and tr (treble crochet) for making this pretty retro-style Granny Square cushion.

These stitches and techniques can be found in other ‘Granny Square’ designs so this workshop will be giving you a great foundation for beginning any new projects and developing your beginner crochet skills.

In this mini course, taught over 2 x 2.5 hour sessions, Rebecca will take you through each stage of the pattern step-by-step.

This course takes place over Saturdays 10-12.30pm (Saturday 1st and 29th March).

This mini course is £95 including all materials, plus tea, coffee & delicious homemade cake.
