Help knit and crochet blankets for people experiencing homelessness across London.

Close Knit is a knitting and crochet marathon workshop by Craft Forward and hosted at Science Gallery London.

It’s a relaxed and welcoming drop-in knitting and crochet group, open to beginners and experienced makers to come together, connect, learn more about the craft and its radical history.

Knitters will be producing knitted squares to go towards Blankets for London - Craft Forward’s seasonal project where we assemble blankets to donate to homeless individuals in London through partner charities.

Close Knit is open to anyone interested in approaching crafting and textile art for the first time, and to any creative who would like an opportunity to make together and connect with other makers.

All materials are provided. If you are an experienced knitter please bring your own knitting needles (and spare yarn if you have any). If you are a beginner, come along and we will help you start your knitting journey. If you're a crocheter, come with your favourite hook, or borrow one from us.

Close Knit is funded by The Changing Lives Social Value Fund by Lambeth Council.
