Teaching Crochet to Young Kids


Recommended Posts

I have tried with my DD who is 7, but I think I overdid it with her. She couldn't get the mechanics of it, but I am pretty sure my correcting her on hand position frustrated her. Next time, it's a big hook, some rug yarn, a picture book of how to crochet, and me with a lighter touch. :D She'll get it with practice when she's ready - I was 6 when I learned to crochet, but hey - I'm "special"....:rofl

i know when i learned, gram showed me how to chain, with some thinner yarn, i think it was sport weight not positive though, and a G hook....i made a belt...and a necklace...and a hair thing that tied aroung my head....when mine were consistant she showed me how to single crochet and shortly after dc, squares were really hard for me to do(still are) so maybe granny squares would be good for young hands?
