BEGINNER’S LUCK

Teach Someone to Crochet!

Katelyn Nesi recently shared how she is passing on her love of crochet

to the next generation:

“I am the high school librarian at Wall Township High School in New

Jersey. During our lunch period, I meet daily with students to teach

them to crochet. Several students I have taught and work with have

gone on to teach their peers how to crochet. Many of them have now

taken on roles to crochet donations for local hospitals and charities.”
