Join our Crochet Borders Workshop with Ann-Marie at Riverside Beads in Market Deeping, near Peterborough. This creative class is perfect for anyone wanting to add beautiful finishing touches to their crochet or knitting projects.

Our crochet instructor, Ann-Marie, has over 50 years of crochet experience. Having taught many friends and family to crochet, she began teaching professionally over a decade ago. Her adaptable teaching style focuses on helping you find the crochet approach that works best for you. Whether you are left- or right-handed, have struggled to learn before, or are picking up a hook for the very first time, her flexible guidance, patience, and passion will set you up for success.

During this workshop, you’ll learn how to work neatly around edges, maintain even tension, and create a range of border styles — from simple designs, classic shell edging, to more complex designs. Ann-Marie will guide you step by step, sharing expert tips to help you achieve professional-looking results.

What you’ll love about this class:

• Learn a variety of decorative borders and edgings
• Discover how to keep edges neat and tension consistent
• Enjoy personalised guidance from an experienced tutor
• Take home your border samples and patterns
• All materials included – just bring your 4mm hook, pen/pencil, and sample pieces (see below)

Please bring with you:
Three crochet sample pieces to add your borders to – each measuring 20 stitches by 20 rows.

• 1 piece worked in Double Crochet (DC)

• 2 pieces worked in Treble (TR)
  Ideally, these should be made in Double Knitting yarn using a 4mm crochet hook.

This class is suitable for anyone familiar with basic crochet stitches, whether you’re looking to refresh your skills or expand your repertoire with new decorative motifs. You’ll enjoy expert tuition, a relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of creative inspiration.
