Giving Back Crochet - Jonah Larson


Book Description

Jonah Larson taught himself to crochet when he was 5 years old and gained overnight global notoriety. Jonah was born in Ethiopia and adopted as a baby, and he admits he did not always make it easy for his parents. Luckily for him and them, he found that crochet had a way of calming him down. He credits his parents with teaching him many things, especially the importance of giving back and helping others. This book grew out of Jonah's philosophy that part of living a happy life is giving to those in need. With this in mind you will find designs like hats, scarves, slippers and afghans that are easy and simple, and they make perfect gifts to give to those who find themselves in need, those who are suffering with terminal illness or someone who just needs to know that someone cares.
