Crochet for Kids
October 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment
One of the joys of sewing, or any craft, is sharing the love of your hobby with your children. Recently my family went on on an outing for Alpaca Farm Day to visit a local farm and learn all about Alpacas.
Since Alpaca are used for their fleece, which is then spun into yarn – you guessed it; I bought someAlpaca yarn to do some crocheting.
My daughters (9 & 11) were intrigued and wanted to learn to crochet too. As with any new skill, it takes practice and patience to learn (and to teach them! 
They did pretty well overall and ended up making some crochet headbands.
So I was thrilled to find this Crochet for Kids kit. It’s so cute and kid-friendly. I think this would kit would encourage them to continue learning to crochet.
Here’s the easy to read PDF instructions to make the Granny Squares in this kit.
I’m thinking this would be perfect for Christmas!!
