Which course first?

Complete beginner: Start with Binge Knitting's "Knitting and Crochet Basic Techniques" — it covers both, so you can decide which you prefer before buying more gear.

Know the basics, want to make clothes: Go straight to "Creating Garments Using Crochet" by Alicia Recio Rodríguez — the clearest path from stitches to wearables.

Care about sustainability: Emma Friedlander-Collins' upcycling course is the only UK crochet course built around transforming old garments rather than buying new yarn.

Ready to design your own patterns: Laura Algarra's "Crochet Garment Design: Pattern Making and Sizing" is the natural next step — design your own pieces, not just follow others'.

Crochet course

FAQs

Everything you need to know before you book.

What is the best crochet course for absolute beginners?

The Binge Knitting "Knitting and Crochet Basic Techniques" course on Domestika is the most-reviewed beginner option with over 14,000 reviews and a 4.8 rating. It covers both crochet and knitting basics so you can try both before committing to one. Expect to pay £7.99–£15 depending on the current Domestika sale.

Is Domestika worth it for learning crochet?

Yes, for most people. The production quality is high, courses are self-paced with lifetime access, and the price — usually £7.99–£15 — is far cheaper than in-person classes. The main limitation is you can't ask questions in real time. Domestika does have a community forum per course, but it's less active than a live workshop. If you're a complete beginner, the structured video format is often better for learning the basics than YouTube.

How much yarn do I need to start crocheting?

For a beginner practice session, one 100g ball of DK or Aran weight yarn in a light colour is enough. Light colours make it easier to see your stitches. Avoid very fluffy or textured yarns to start — they hide your stitches and make it impossible to spot mistakes. Budget £3–£8 for starter yarn from Hobbycraft, LoveCrafts, or Amazon.

What hook size should a beginner use for crochet?

A 5mm hook with Aran weight yarn is the most beginner-friendly combination — the stitches are large enough to see clearly without being too loose. Most beginner Domestika courses specify the hook size in their materials list. A starter set of aluminium hooks (3.5–8mm) costs around £8–£12 and covers most projects.

Can I learn crochet without a teacher?

Yes — crochet is one of the most self-teachable crafts. A structured video course like those on Domestika gives you demonstration-quality visuals with the ability to pause and rewind, which is often more helpful than a live class when learning hand movements. Most people learn the core stitches from video alone.
