I can’t make the live craftalong, is it recorded?

What age is the crochet project suitable for?

It is recommended for adults and children aged 8+ but adult supervision is recommended for participants under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must provide their details on your behalf on signup.

Is yarn safe around cats?

Please do not let cats play with the yarn or baskets as this is not a toy. The baskets are not suitable to be used as beds for kittens. 

Is the crochet project easy to make?

Yes, our Craft for Cats events are for crafters of any ability and experience, including beginners! During the live craftalong, you’ll start with the very basics in crochet, like how to hold your hook! You'll build confidence and develop fluency in core stitches using UK terms, including double crochet (dc), half treble crochet (htr), treble crochet (tr) and slip stitch (sl st). Your craft kit will also include instructions, so you can craft at your own pace, and access to the Cat Hub with crochet tutorials and resources to help you get started.
