Here are some benefits of crocheting:



1.Helps Reduce Stress And Anxiety

Yarncrafts help with various forms of anxiety. It keeps your hands busy and mind focused. When you’re feeling stressed or anxious in your daily life, take some time for yourself, pick up a yarn and a hook and spend some time being creative.

2. Helps Lower Blood Pressure

Yarncrafting is a heart-healthy activity. When you get into the groove of a pattern and work at it for a few hours, you will feel relaxed. This relaxation lowers the stress hormone cortisol and therefore decreasing your blood pressure.

3.Boosts Self-esteem

Crocheting can help you feel in control, but it can also give you a feeling of accomplishment. When you finish a project, big or small or when you’re feeling unproductive, you can look at all the rows or projects that you completed and know that you did this.

4. Helps With Insomnia

Crocheting before bed can help your mind relax and wind down enough to let you get sleepy and the act of focusing on one thing can help you get to sleep faster.

5.Improves Memory Skills

Crocheting keeps your mind active. The elements of math involved in crocheting (counting your stitches, being aware of the beginnings/endings of rows, totting up repetitions of patterns) all help to keep your thinking processes sharp.

6. It's creative

There's a lot of satisfaction to be gained from making something that gives pleasure to you or others.

7. Helps with fine motor skills

Many people have found that crocheting and other fiber arts has helped them regain or refine their fine motor skills.
