Less worrying by crocheting amigurumi's
Crocheting is very relaxing, but did you know that crocheting amigurumi's really leads to more distraction and relaxation?
Crocheting an amigurumi is just a bit more challenging than, for example, crocheting a shawl with a repeating pattern. Because it is a bit more of a challenge, you also have to keep your attention on your crochet work and there is less space left in your head to worry! You can enjoy crocheting to the fullest!
Improve your memory and concentration by crocheting!
Creative hobbies, such as crocheting, contribute to a better memory and good concentration. By using both hands while crocheting, your brain has to work harder. So it's a good workout for the brain.
By focusing on the crochet stitches and the number of crochet stitches while crocheting, you give your brain a break from all other thoughts and your focus is entirely on your creation.
So find a fun crochet project, grab your favourite crochet hook and yarn and get to work training your memory and concentration!
Crochet makes you happy and gives you more self-confidence
