The Knit Club, run by  Craft Forward, is a welcoming knitting and crochet group open to beginners and experienced makers alike. Connect with others, learn new skills, and discover the radical history of your craft. Participants will create knitted squares for the “Blankets for London” project, Craft Forward’s seasonal initiative donating blankets to unhoused individuals through partner charities.

What to bring: All materials are provided! Experienced knitters can bring their own needles, while beginners and crocheters can use materials supplied by Craft Forward or bring their favourite tools.

This event is part of Better You, our wellbeing programme designed to help you kickstart the new year with energy and positivity. January is an ideal time to explore new activities and sharpen your skills, and Better You is here to support you every step of the way. Our range of free activities offers something for everyone, and we’d love for you to join us for other events too!

Our events often fill up quickly, and with nearly 1,000 members, we want everyone to have the chance to join. To make this fair, please book a maximum of three in-person events during Better You.
