Crochet Club

What is crochet?

Crochet is a way of creating fabric from yarn or thread using a crochet hook to pull loops of yarn through other loops. It is similar to knitting, however instead of needles it uses a single hook.

What are the benefits of crochet?

• After each project, the children will feel really accomplished.
• Their motor skills have been sharpened.
• It offers children a healthy way to concentrate their attention.
• When they crochet, kids end up with good experience in problem-solving and even a touch of basic arithmetic.
• Crochet is a very relaxing activity.
• Continued crocheting can increase your child’s cognitive functioning.

Our First Project

We have spend our first few weeks practicing slip stitches and building on our work with double crochet.

After practicing these skills for a while we had a go at our first project, a pencil topper! Everyone chose their own colours and had a go at making 10 rows with 10 stitches. Then we sewed on the details. Everyone did an amazing job!

What next?

After this we decided to challenge ourselves to make a cuddly toy. We looked at what this involves and practiced the skills we would need to be able to do this. With hard work and perseverance we created some amazing cuddly toys that we are very proud of!
