We’re an inclusive knitting and crochet club with a passion for making yarn craft accessible to people from all backgrounds. You don’t even need experience! Our Berlin knitting club is designed to be beginner-friendly, although knitters and crocheters of all skill levels are welcome to attend. Either way, you’ll be on the path to making new yarny friends in Berlin.
Beginners:
If you’ve never knitted or crocheted a stitch before, our workshop leaders will teach you the basics. If you return for more workshops, we can also teach you how to start your first project like a headband, a scarf, or a dishcloth.
Confident-crafters:
If you’re already a seasoned knitter or crocheter, you are also welcome to bring your current project and join us for knitting conversation and companionship.-You can also bring your own pattern and we can help you read it.
Where to find us
Our knitting class takes place every Sunday from 2:30 to 4:00 pm at the No. 52 Cafe (in the Pavilion in Boxhagener Platz at the corner of Grünberger Str. and Gärtnerstraße).
There is usually a market happening in the square while we have our knitting club – but we are still open! Look between the stalls to find us, or watch the image below for visual directions.
What you need to bring
When you attend our Berlin knitting and crochet club all you need to bring is yourself!
Our workshop leaders have a basic selection of yarn and knitting needles to borrow during the session. Of course, if you want to keep knitting at home, you are welcome to bring your own materials. If you have any questions about what to buy, we can answer them during the session.

Yoojin
I studied Fine Arts and Fashion Design at university in Korea, and in 2023 I came to Germany. I wanted to free myself from the pressure of my major and from society’s expectations, and to find the version of myself that I really want to be. In the middle of that journey, I happened to discover “ForEveryone” at Boxi.
It honestly felt like fate. I wanted to get to know the city through the people who live here, and I wanted to share the things I love — so this place was a perfect match for me.
