Are you thinking about starting crochet, but need that final push to get started? Then read on below, where I have collected all the good reasons to grab the crochet hook and begin your new crochet adventure! ♡
Relaxing and meditative
Needlework can help calm the nervous system, and crochet is no exception. When you repeat the same movements with the crochet hook over and over again, it can have a calming and meditative effect and help you stay focused on the activity you are doing. In an often busy and hectic everyday life, crocheting can therefore provide you with a stress-relieving respite where your thoughts can calm down.
Super easy to take with you on the go
Crocheting is one of those hobbies that is super easy to take with you on the go - all you need is a crochet hook and a ball of yarn, and you're ready to crochet away! It's a really great way to pass the time if you're sitting in a waiting room or on the bus, and it's also really cozy to sit with when you're in the park or at a café.
Get away from the screens
Nowadays we all tend to spend a lot of time scrolling on different devices, and crocheting is a great way to remedy this. You need to use both hands, and therefore there are no more hands to spare to scroll on your phone. Try to think about how much more of your time you could get out of crocheting instead? Before you know it, you'll have a wardrobe full of beautiful creations!
Economical and sustainable
Crocheting helps to combat fast fashion, as it is a great way to create durable designs in good quality that you can use again and again. Instead of spending your money on expensive clothes and accessories, you can instead make your own beautiful things, and it is often much cheaper. In addition, you can easily reuse yarn scraps from old projects and get the most out of your money while helping to protect the environment.
Let your dreams come true
One of the coolest things about crocheting is that only your imagination sets the limits! When you crochet clothing and accessories, you have the opportunity to create completely unique things, where you decide the colors, patterns and materials yourself. That's why you can really be creative, let your imagination run wild and put your own personal touch on your project. And when someone asks where your sweater is from, it's just SO cool to be able to say that it's homemade!
Personal gifts
If you're not a fan of wish lists, crochet is ideal for creating homemade and personalized gifts for your loved ones. It's fun to make, but it's also a great opportunity to make something truly unique - created with love. On my site I have many different easy crochet patterns , which you can check out if you would like to crochet a gift for someone you care about.
Crocheting is just an absolutely amazing hobby that combines creativity, relaxation and a sense of pride when you see your own creations take shape, so I hope you've been inspired to start your own crochet journey!
