Top 10 Best Hand Knitting classes, courses, learnings kits and gifts in the UK

Bring your knitting project - and your baby - along to this special knitting workshop just for parents of pre-mobile babies. Think of it as a mini-version of our popular Sweater School workshop; you bring your choice of project, whether that's a baby cardigan, a sweater for you, or anything else that takes your fancy, and get the help you need to master the techniques involved. We'll have a playmat and toys for the babies, and tea, coffee, and snacks for the adults. There are just three spots per course, so there'll be plenty to go around. Your tutor will be Jacki from the Woolly Badger - a knitting teacher and mum of two young boys. And if you haven't yet got a project picked out, then she or Meg, the owner of No Frills Knitting, will be able to help you find something.

Suitable for all levels! If you want to learn to knit, are stuck with your knitting, want advice on yarn selection or needles, have dropped stitches a tangled ball of yarn or a pattern you just can’t get your head around then this is the club for you. We are here to support you on your personal knitting journey, to pick you up when you fall down, to make sense of the terminology, the structure the sizing and the finishing. Check out our resources, books and tools, try before you buy and ask all the questions.
