Beginner Crochet Class

This crochet workshop on the Gold Coast is perfect for:

• Complete beginners who have never picked up a crochet hook before
• Anyone wanting to try a creative hobby in a supportive, social setting
• Gold Coast locals looking for unique craft classes or weekend activities
• Friends, mums, daughters or workmates planning a creative afternoon out
• People who love handmade style and want to learn a practical new skill
• Anyone craving a mindful break from screens, stress or busy schedules

No prior experience is needed. You’ll be guided step by step and leave with the confidence to keep crocheting at home.

In this 2-hour class, you'll learn the core crochet skills every beginner needs:

• How to hold your crochet hook
• How to hold your yarn (honestly, half the battle!)
• How to make a slip knot
• How to crochet a foundation chain - where most projects begin
• How to work the double crochet stitch

By the end of the session, you’ll have started your very first crochet project: a cute-as coaster. Woo-hoo!

We'll be making a crochet coaster using raffia yarn.

Raffia might sound unusual, but it’s actually beautiful to work with - it’s:

• Soft to work with
• Structured (so your project will hold its shape)
• Perfect for learning stitches
• Doesn't split (like many yarns) so is easier to stitch with

Plus, it makes a coaster that actually looks so good on your table you won't want to add a drink.

Everything you need is provided - just show up. Easy peasy, hooray!

Your class includes:

• All materials
• Crochet hook and raffia yarn
• Step-by-step instruction from Amy
• Printed pattern to take home
• QR code access to video tutorials so you can keep practising after the class
• Glass of wine or non-alcholic beverage of your choice

Amy is the founder of Nana Sport, a crochet kit brand helping beginners learn crochet without the overwhelm.

She has over 14 years of crochet teaching experience and has taught hundreds of beginners how to pick up a hook with confidence.

Her classes are relaxed, supportive, and beginner-friendly - no pressure, just lots of fun (and laughs).

Do I need any crochet experience?

Not at all. This class is designed for absolute beginners. We’ll start right at the beginning and go step by step, so no prior experience is needed.

What if I’ve tried crochet before but couldn’t get the hang of it?

You’re very welcome. Lots of people come to class after trying to learn online and getting stuck. Being shown in person often makes everything click.

Will I finish my coaster in the class?

Most people do finish their coaster during the class. If yours isn’t quite done (perhaps the conversation got really lively), you’ll have the pattern and video tutorials to help you finish it at home.

Will you run more classes?

Yes, more beginner classes will be added regularly. Once you’ve learned the basics, you’ll also be able to join future Nana Sport crochet sessions.

I’m coming alone - is that ok?

Absolutely! Many people come solo and it’s a really friendly, relaxed environment. Crochet tends to get people chatting very quickly.
