KNITTING STIMULATES THE BRAIN
Knitting builds the brain by stimulating both both hemispheres – combining mathematics (counting, patterning) with creativity while engaging the hands purposefully … which leads us to hand-eye coordination. Knitting helps with motor skills, sensory perception and tactile feedback.
The rhythmic action of knitting can be similar to meditation, allowing children to relax the mind. By learning how to knit, children apply their discipline, focus and coordination to create an item of value and practicality. They learn that hard work can be rewarded, which builds their sense of accomplishment
