Crochet Basics for Children

A step-by-step guide packed full of fun, colourful and simple projects, perfect for children aged 7+ to learn how to crochet.

Features toys, accessories and bedroom decorations that children will love to make, from a cuddly rabbit to a bobble hat and a caterpillar draught excluder.

Requiring just a hook and some yarn to get going, crochet is a brilliant way for children to learn a new skill, build their confidence and boost their creativity. Starting with a clear techniques section that explains all the essential skills and stitches, this easy-to-follow guide will inspire children to crochet fun projects to keep or give as gifts.

In the first chapter, they can have a go at crocheting accessories from an owl beanie hat to quick hair bows and a chunky book bag.

Next, there are lots of ideas to help kids personalise their bedrooms, with projects including a craft basket, a roses garland and a daisy mirror.

Finally, children can choose from toys such as colourful baby chicks, a sweet lion and simple juggling balls.

As well as a skill rating, each project features step-by-step instructions and colourful illustrations that are specially designed for children to follow.
