Here are five tips:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Yarncrafting is more than just knitting &amp; crocheting.<\/strong> Pom poms, tassles, and craft projects are a good way to get even young children experimenting with yarn. <a title=\"Craft Patterns\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lionbrand.com\/collections\/all-patterns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check out our craft patterns for more ideas.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Think about the materials.<\/strong> Children (as well as most beginners) will knit\/crochet tightly, so you may want to give them needles\/hooks that are a little bit larger than what is normally recommended for the yarn. Pick needles\/hooks that are an easy to work with size (Speed Stix &amp; Speed Hook may be too big for kids!) and yarn that is light in color so that it&#8217;s easy to see individual stitches. Variegated yarn can be helpful so that you can point out individual stitches by color &#8212; <a title=\"Order Jiffy Thick &amp; Quick Yarn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lionbrand.com\/products\/jiffy-thick-and-quick-yarn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jiffy Thick &amp; Quick<\/a> can be a good choice for kids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t worry about what they&#8217;re making.<\/strong> Let them knit, crochet, loom-knit, or weave for a little bit. That rectangle of material can be sewn up into a coin purse, used as a trivet, given to a doll as a blanket. Even just making chains can be a really satisfying experience for kids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Help them start the project. <\/strong>Casting on or working into the first chain are some of the most difficult skills for beginners, so you may want to do the first row for them both to demonstrate the skill, and also so they don&#8217;t get frustrated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get to know their learning styles. <\/strong>While some children may learn better watching, others learn better with diagrams, while others learn better by listening to explanations. Getting a feel for their learning styles will make it easier for you to explain things in the most effective way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.lionbrand.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/yarncraftlogo.jpg\" alt=\"YarnCraft Podcast\" width=\"450\" height=\"102\" border=\"0\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lionbrand.com\/community\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/yarncraftlogo.jpg\" alt=\"YarnCraft Podcast\" width=\"450\" height=\"102\" border=\"0\"><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><em>For more ideas, check out the podcast every other Tuesday by visiting YarnCraft.LionBrand.com or sign up for BK4K, our monthly newsletter for kids and those who yarncraft with them! <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In each episode of our podcast, YarnCraft, my co-host Liz from our Design Department and I like to share some interesting tips about knitting, crocheting, and yarncrafting.
