Wellbeing for you (Crochet) (Step 2) (01B29TL/24)

What will I learn?

On this course you will improve both your crocheting skills and your ability to use mindfulness to relax and reduce stress.

You will learn how to use mindfulness to help you to address and cope with change in your life and to use relaxation as part of your self-care routine at home. You will also plan a personal short-term wellbeing goal to achieve by the end of the course.

Over the six sessions you will also learn how to make colour changes, add borders to your work and complete a crochet project that you will be able to keep at the end of the course to show your achievement and progress.

How much will it cost?

What do I need to provide for the first session?

You will need one crochet hook, size 5.5mm, and at least two balls of Aran wool, weiight 100g each, in at least two colours of your choice. If you have a range of crochet hooks of different sizes then please also bring these along.

What could I do next?
