Already from the age of four, a desire to learn how to crochet may awaken in children if someone from relatives or friends is fond of this type of needlework. But when starting to study, it is necessary to take into account the age characteristics of the child's psyche.
It is necessary
- - Hook;
- - yarn;
- - knitting guide.
Instructions
Step 1
Each lesson should last no more than half an hour. During it, you will need to take short breaks to perform finger gymnastics. This will help the children not to overwork and remain attentive throughout the lesson.
Step 2
It is necessary to teach children how to knit in the form of a game, so that interest in the very process of turning the thread into some kind of toy or thing with the help of a crochet does not disappear over time when it comes time to master more complex patterns from columns. For example, invite them to choose the color of the thread they will use to knit. The yarn must be natural. Medium thickness. The child himself can help you choose the right size for these threads.
Step 3
Never scold children for tangled threads or for not being able to master a technique as quickly as you want them to. You need to explain calmly and kindly, turning failure into a joke. Try telling fairy tales about needlework or thread as you knit. For example, the tale of Arachne, the legend of the labyrinth of the Minotaur. Remind the names of each finger on the pens, as well as how to determine where "right" and "left". This will be needed to master the execution of the chain loops, and then various columns.
Step 4
Explaining how to knit a chain, pay attention to how the child sits, whether he holds the hook correctly with his fingers. Immediately teach him that the ball during the lesson should be on the floor in a box, or in a basket, and after it, together with a hook stuck into the threads, in a special bag.
Step 5
From the first multi-colored chains knitted by children, make a beautiful panel. Draw an outline with a pencil and paste over it.
Step 6
Take pictures of the little ones during class, and then next to the finished product. It doesn't matter how successful it turns out. This will allow them to estimate how much work has been put into making something happen as a result, so that they can be proud of their work.
