 Knitting can help students
increase their math and reading skills
Has your child expressed an interest in learning
how to knit? Fantastic! Knitting is one of our most ancient hand-crafts
and yet, still today, one of our most popular. Knitting is easy to learn
and once mastered, is a skill that stays with you. It’s kind of like
riding a bike.
Not only is knitting fun and productive, but
recent magazine and newspaper articles note that schools are
rediscovering the academic benefits of knitting. Teachers
report
that knitting has helped students increase their math and reading
skills, as well as levels of concentration, control, follow-through, and
sense of mastery. Students who knit are also reported to have improved
hand/eye coordination, small motor skills and communication skills.
 The Knit Outta the Box knit kit is the perfect
tool to teach the basics of knitting and help enhance all of the
wonderful attributes mentioned above. Stuffed inside our fun and funky
90% recycled purple tube is everything you will need:
100% washable lambswool, produced
entirely in the USA
100% bamboo knitting needles – a
renewable resource
Child-friendly yarn cutter/needle
threader
Blunt darning needle
Measuring devise
How-to-knit card
3 super simple beginner’s patterns
3 more advanced, but still easy
patterns
The beginner’s patterns are designed to build on
top of each other, utilizing the technique learned from the previous
pattern. They start with the very basic bookmark, which introduces
casting on, the knit stitch and binding off. Next is the Beginner’s
Purse, which explores decreasing and seaming, and then finally the
Treasure Pouch, which explains yarn-overs and creating eyelets.
