Here’s a quick project if you’re just learning how to crochet, or remembering some skills learnt long ago. This is a follow on to the earlier ‘How to Crochet’ films in the previous post. I use 100% cotton yarn to make these so they can go in the hot wash, what we used to call ‘dishcloth’ cotton is perfect. It’s a great project to practice on and to try different sizes of hook or try new stitches to see what happens. It’s just a cloth, so it doesn’t really matter. If they’re great why not make a whole load for presents?

Day workshops are starting again at West Dean College in August and there are plenty of things to try if you’re out and about. The films are great though, if you’d rather try this from the safety of home.
