Abstract:
Helping 4-H members learn knitting can be a real challenge as well as a gratifying experience. You will find that some members master the skill easily, while others will have to struggle.
The knitting project offers boys and girls opportunities to exercise creativity, develop decision making abilities, and learn skills that can give pleasure throughout a lifetime. Your role as a leader is to set the stage for these opportunities and help members to:
• Select, use, and care for knitting tools
• Learn to read and follow knitting instructions
• Enjoy creating articles for themselves and others
• Learn about using and caring for knitted articles
• Learn to work and share with others
• Keep simple records of project activities
