Lesson #1
As my online name implies ‘Momwithahook’ I am a Mom with a Hook who loves to crochet. So today I will be showing you how to teach your children to crochet. I will be teaching this series over 5 posts.

Each post will include a video. After you go through all 5 lessons you will be able to create a set of dishcloths for a Christmas Gift.

If your child is really young I recommend teaching them how to Finger Knit. It is simple and there are no needles or hooks required.

Supplies:

Yarn – the bulkier the better for little hands

Crochet Hook – Again, the bigger the better. Try a J hook or larger.

Learning the Foundation Chain Stitch:

The foundation chain is where all your projects will start. Kids can keep going with this for quite some time. Make a really long chain and then finger knit this into a thicker material and you will have the makings of a Jump Rope.

Things you can Make with a Crochet Chain:

necklace
shoe laces
ring
jump rope
snail
rope
super skinny scarf
