Frequently Asked Questions...
Every child is unique, so use the following guidelines to determine if your child is ready to learn to crochet:
Before introducing crochet to your child, consider their ability to sit still and focus on a task for at least 10 to 20 minutes. Crochet requires concentration and patience, so it’s beneficial if your child can calmly engage in an activity without becoming too restless.
