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.

Excellent article! This is one of the clearest explanations of 2CB Iāve read. I enjoy reading different perspectives on psychedelics, and Iāve found more educational content and resources at https://trippysoulmarketplace.com/. Thanks for sharing such a well-written post!
Iām wishing good fortune to everyone who comes across this comment! I went bankrupt last year due to failed business ideas. I used to enjoy playing the lottery for fun but as my situation worsened financially, I sought help to win big this time and found a man called MEDUZA, who has assisted numerous individuals worldwide with their financial issues. This man prepared a powerful spell for me that enabled him to get the secrete lucky numbers for me, I played the game with the numbers and to my astonishment, I discovered that I had won $259 million Jackpot after 2 weeks just has he said. Today, Iām now free of debt and I own different investments globally. Without Meduza, I wouldnāt have made it through the tough times I experienced last year. Truly, MEDUZA is a divine presence among us. If you are currently struggling in aspect of your life reach out to MEDUZA through the below informationās.
