No kid is ever going to enjoy knitting a boring sweater or a blanket. However, things might be different if you provide them with patterns that match their interests. For example, little girls are obsessed with Wonder Woman nowadays. You can find a lot of patterns online for fun Wonder Woman knitted garments accessories, like the sweater from the above picture. You can also find patterns for Wonder Woman gloves, as well as patterns for other popular characters and children’s themes.
OK, we know that the point is to get the children to knit, but if that doesn’t work from the start, the knitting machine can help with cultivating the love for the knitting craft in young children. Once they see how beautiful knitted garments want, they will want more sophisticated garments that the machine can’t handle. And that is when you can start teaching them actual hand-knitting techniques.
For starters, you will only tempt children if you choose colorful yarns, so this should be your first priority. Next, consider some funny yarn bowls. Children love all things funny, and they will surely love working with a funny yarn bowl like the one in the above picture. There are many other models to choose from. Moreover, the yarn bowls also have a practical nature, as they will prevent the tangling of the yarn. You can also find a lot of colorful needles that children would surely enjoy working with.
If you want children to truly enjoy knitting, don’t be very strict when it comes to this activity. Let children have fun with it, and get to love it on their own terms. Don’t force them to knit when they are not in the mood to do it. Moreover, you can also try using the knitting as a bonding activity. You can knit with the kids, and while you are working you can talk, listen to music or play word games.
