Crochet is very different from knitting, which uses both hands equally. All the work in crochet is done with the dominant hand. The dominant hand using the hook introduces a new awareness and rhythm, giving the hand new strength, muscle memory, and sensitivity, not only for handwork class but for other skills such as writing, too. Children will crochet two potholders and a flute/recorder case and a pentagon mat. If time allows, children will be able to choose from a variety of extra projects such water bottle carrier, hat, animal or doll, sun coasters, etc.
