Teaching Kids to Knit
Posted by vicki brown on
It's taken a few attempts but I think I've finally taught Effie (7) to knit and not only that but got her interested and excited about it.
So I wanted to share a little bit about how we got here, as it's not been quite as easy as I had imagined.
Both my kids learned to knit pretty young as they spent so much time watching me knitting away, but there seemed to be a bit of a disconnect between learning the motions and actually persevering with a project.
I think I forgot how long it actually takes to knit a whole finished thing - add to that how much longer it is when you're just learning and add again how time is so much bigger when you're little and you realise it's a lot for a small one and if it seems insurmountable then the chances of giving up are HIGH!
So this is what we did to try and minimise all those hurdles.
š§¶ big yarn! We usually use aran or DK - we have used chunky but I think it can be aĀ bit much for little hands
š§¶ needles that are a good length for their hands - we have couple of sets of kids needles that are a little shorter, but actually have found using circulars are perfect, needles are smaller but the cord means lots of space for the stitches to sit (added bonus that Effie won't have the fear of moving on from straights to ciruclars like I did)
š§¶ quick projects - we've been working our way through Kids Knit by Kerry Kimber, which has really fun simple projects that Effie is actually excited to make, we highly recommend this book.
š§¶ the knitting fairy - this was inspired by The Knitmore Girls - after every row Effie knits, I knit a row. It means the knitting moves along nice and quickly plus, I canĀ check for and fix any issues that may have occurred.
š§¶ cute accessories - Effie has her very own project bag (we're using one from Stitchers Tees), some super sweet knitting needles with acorns on the ends and some fun stitch markers - I mean I love all these extra lovely things so of course she does too!
I'm so pleased to have someone else in my house to knit with (and share my stash with), I hope these tips can help you teach your little ones.
I want to share my experience to express my heartfelt gratitude to Oniha Spells. Before this breakthrough, my life was filled with financial stress and uncertainty. I had tried many things over the years with no real change, and I was close to giving up hope. After being introduced to Oniha Spells, I decided to take a leap of faith. The guidance, reassurance, and support I received throughout the process gave me a sense of calm and confidence I hadnāt felt in a long time. Not long after, something truly incredible happened. I won $3 million in the lottery. This life-changing moment still feels unreal to me. It has allowed me to clear my debts, support my family, and finally live without constant financial fear. I genuinely believe that Oniha Spells played a meaningful role in helping align my path toward this blessing. Anyone can also reach out to Oniha Spells via.

I was still in college when I met my fiancĆ©. We dated for quite a long time and cohabited and our relationship was approved by our parents. We got along and everything was perfect. He traveled out for some training and since then everything never became good for us again. He was seeing a lady over there and he tends to have committed much to what they shared and left me out the picture. I did all I can to fix the problem but nothing worked until I heard about Dr Isikolo. I contacted him and explained what I was going through and he promised to help which he did as promised. I complied with the instructions he gave me and he fixed the problem I had with my fiancĆ© and now heās back to me and we are getting married in a month. All thanks to Dr Isikolo.
