Both classes will provide everything you need to practice your skills at home, including a hook, yarn, and printed pattern.

In The Loop Crochet is run by Helen Godsmark who started running Learn to Crochet classes in 2019.

She ran them for about six months before the pandemic hit and subsequently had to stop.

Godsmark told Nub News: "My love of crochet began when I attended a class similar to the ones I run back in 2014.

"It's such a versatile craft skill, I make blankets, throws, cushion covers and jumpers as well as cuddly toys."

She continued: "It's also incredibly relaxing and therapeutic.

"Last summer I decided to start the classes up again and I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting so many likeminded people. They enjoy the classes, and I'm always amazed when they'd at how patient I am! Maybe it's just with crochet."
