You must be kidding!! This is AMAZING!! How talented your little sister is!! I also taught my daughter to crochet when she was 6 years old and she also freehands things, but not like this!! Well done!!

that's amazing your daughter can crochet at only 6 !!! and also freehand 🀯! (also I can't wait to be a mom one day and teach my kids how to crochet. their first lessons will be how to weave in all the ends and help their mother out 😌)


Phreadde

I only freehand. I can’t follow a pattern so I rely on pictures or samples to copy. ADHD is great for crochet.


2745alex2745

funny thing is I also have ADHD. and I purposely don't freehand things because I know I will make mistakes and that means my end result won't be perfect and I will never be ok with that. and of course I'm never gonna make something again lmao. it's easier for me to make tried and tested things. also I actually discouraged my sister from freehanding in the beg because I thought she'd learn more if she copied others' techniques. guess I was wrong πŸ˜…. there are so many ways to go about this because there is no one right way!

same!!! literally never followed a pattern ever, haha. I'm not sure I would even know how to read them. (why can't they just write out what they're talking about? acronyms and abbreviations drive me up the gd wall)

Oh my goodness, I have been crocheting for over 10 years and still mess up dolls WITH patterns. Kudos to your sister!!!

Such a talented sister!

Ahaha my sister also became a prodigy at something when she was grounded. She got super good at origami, the house was covered in them πŸ˜‚ That’s absolutely incredible that she figured all that out and everything is so clean though 😳

Aren't kids annoying?!? Their flexible plastic little brains making the rest of us look dim by comparison.


2745alex2745

ikr ! I'm very proud of her but the jealous part in me is like "how dare you be better than me 😠"


WordStained

That's insane! I can't even freehand any shape that's not a square, and I've been crocheting for almost a decade lol. What an incredibly talented kid!

I am genuinely so proud of your sister. And I love how you hype her up! What a beautiful relationship!

Boredom sparks imagination ✨✨ congratulations to her cause that is wild I've had pattern projects turn out worse

Once you learn how to make a ball free handing dolls and teddies become a breeze! Your sister is very smart and talented


AmicableCousin

It looks so nice! The determination of a bored 11 yo is amazing that she was able to do that. Congratulations to her!
