Stitch Smarter: Crochet Techniques Every Knitter Should Know

Whether you're a die-hard knitter or just yarn-curious, learning a few basic crochet skills can level up your knitting game. From fixing mistakes without the drama to adding unique finishes, a crochet hook is one of the most versatile tools a knitter can have. In this class with Jane, you'll learn and practice hands-on crochet techniques that will leave you with new-found confidence and creativity. (and you don't even have to know how to crochet!)


In this class, you'll learn how to:

  • Fix knitting mistakes: use a crochet hook to pick up dropped stitches or fix errors (like mis-crossed cables) without frogging rows of knitting

  • Provisional Cast On: learn how to work a provisional cast on

  • Yarn-saving cast off: discover how to cast off when you’re short on yarn

  • Pick up stitches: master the technique of picking up stitches for button bands and edgings

  • Button details: create button loops or crochet your own buttons

  • Decorative edges: add tidy or decorative crochet borders to your knitting

  • Seaming & joining: learn to seam pieces together or join squares

  • Incorporate beads: learn how to add beads into your knitting without having to spend ages threading them on!

Class Highlights:

  • Hands-on practice: Bring your own pre-knitted swatch (see below) and do the hands-on learning in class
  • Practical tips
  • Personalised help and advice from an experienced instructor in a welcoming workshop environment

Take your knitting to the next level!

By the end of this class, you'll have a bunch of solid crochet skills to help you fix, finish and customise your knitting with confidence. Whether it's picking up stitches, joining pieces, or adding a decorative edge, you'll feel confident, creative and ready to handle it with ease.

Before the class (here's your homework!):

Please knit a small swatch in stocking stitch (20 stitches x 20 rows) using plain, light-coloured yarn. Choose a yarn that’s at least 8ply or thicker and match it with an appropriate needle size (e.g. 4mm for 8ply, 4.5mm for 10ply, etc).

Important info for this class:

Duration: 2 hours, in-person class

Skill level: This class is ideal for advanced beginner knitters and beyond. No crochet experience is necessary (though it's a bonus if you have some!).

What to bring:

  • your knitted swatch (see above)
  • small amounts of yarn in the same weight as your swatch, preferably in a different colour
  • knitting needles and a crochet hook in a matching size for the yarn and swatch

Your teacher: Jane Downey

Jane Downey - expert crochet teacher at Skein Sisters Sydney NSW

Inspired by her grandmother, who would crochet intricate thread tablecloths without even referring to a pattern, Jane learned to crochet as a teen and now has almost 40 years of experience.

Jane is a member of the Crochet Guild of Australia and the Knitters’ Guild of NSW and has been teaching crochet for over 15 years.  She teaches adults and children in both open classes and one-on-one classes, from beginner to more advanced techniques.  Jane can teach both right and left handed people to crochet, and is often described as a very patient teacher. Jane is accredited to teach crochet by the Crochet Guild of Australia.

Jane has won prizes for her crochet at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, including being twice chosen for display in the Standard of Excellence cabinet.  Jane has also judged the crochet at the Sydney Royal (not the same years in which she won prizes!).  Jane loves crochet because of the variety of projects it lends itself to.  She particularly likes to crochet garments, accessories and toys.
