As a camp counselor a couple of years ago, I had the great fortune of having a young Waldorf school student in my group. I noticed that whenever he had a moment he pulled his knitting from his bag and worked on his project.
Many of you know that knitting is an important part of handwork that is taught in the Waldorf classroom. One interesting note is that often they start with the hands, not needles. This introduces the concept of how yarn is manipulated to create a fabric.
Bare Hand Knitting by Alashanee Akin is a wonderful guide for parents and teachers who want to introduce and develop the art of hand or finger knitting.
This beautifully illustrated book features:
- Step-by-step instructions for multiple hand knitting techniques
- Progressive skill-building projects suitable for various ages
- Patterns for creating wearable items like hats, scarves, and clothing
- Decorative project ideas for home and gifts
- Clear artwork demonstrating each hand position and technique
In our increasingly digital world, "Bare Hand Knitting" offers a meaningful connection to traditional handcrafts while eliminating the barrier of specialized tools. Children develop fine motor skills, patience, and creativity through these accessible techniques that can be practiced virtually anywhere - during travel, outdoor adventures, or even waiting rooms!
