Kids Crochet
Author: Kelli Ronci
Craft expert Kelli Ronci loves to crochet and she's figured out the easiest way to teach it to kids. In KidsCrochet, she shows kids of all ages how to make fifteen fun, colorful projects, including an earflap hat, a patchwork poncho, a cupcake-shaped pincushion, and a hooded pullover.
Written for children of reading age and older, Kids Crochet presents everything from finger-crocheting to crocheting shapes to crocheting in the round, all supported by easy-to-foltow instructions, full-color illustrations, and charming photos of boys and girls busily stitching with hook and yarn. In addition, intriguing sidebars explore such subjects as crochet around the world, the origins of yarn, and popular "crocheteering" programs, which help volunteer crocheters to distribute their work to those in need.
Both an ideal educational tool—crochet helps to improve problem-solving, reading, and fine motor skills—and an entertaining introduction to a creative leisure-time activity, Kids Crochet brings one of the biggest trends in adult crafting to children of all ages.
