Use crochet as a tool for mindfulness, wellbeing, and intentional living.

Anyone can pick up a crochet hook and a ball of yarn. And everyone can be mindful. Mindfulness in Crochet casts fresh light on this renowned calming craft, showing how the practise truly exemplifies the art of intentional living.

Crocheter, teacher, and Instagram personality, Emma Friedlander-Collins @steelandstitch explores how crochet connects us to each other and to the world around us. Through personal anecdote and expert insight, she unravels the true value of what it means to craft, its therapeutic benefits to positive mental health, along with the joys of the handmade and mindful making.

Divided into seven chapters, this book will teach you to:

  • Connect with the practise of mindfulness.
  • Weave this craft into the busy pace of modern living.
  • Explore the roots of the practise in ancestral civilizations.
  • Ground yourself by crafting in nature.
  • Build community and explore 'craftivism'.

The text also includes two calming, practical crochet patterns (Granny Square and Amigurumi), along with more useful mindful exercises to help you pause and reflect.

Whether you are an experienced crocheter or curious about beginning a more mindful creative practice, use this book to slow down and appreciate the beautiful simplicity of this craft.
