Amigurumi for Beginners - crochet face scrubbies with Made in the Button Room

Ever wanted to learn to crochet but felt completely overwhelmed by where to start? Perhaps you've tried before, got tangled in tutorials, or looked at amigurumi and thought "absolutely not".

This relaxed, beginner-friendly taster workshop is designed to break down those barriers and help crochet finally click. Together, we'll learn the foundations of crocheting in the round, including slip knots, chain stitches and double crochet, while creating a simple face scrubbie using natural fibres.

Perfect for complete beginners or knitters curious about crochet, this supportive session is all about building confidence, asking questions and learning at your own pace in a calm, welcoming environment.

All materials are included, and you'll leave with your yarn, pattern and the skills to continue practising at home.
