Welcome to the second post in our series of ideas for child-made Christmas presents: how to finger knit a brooch. We’re sharing suggestions for gifts that are easy for the children to make and lovely for someone else to receive, and encourage the children to join in with the spirit of the season and give a little something to those they love.
This brooch is do-able for a child from around five upwards, with a little help with the sewing, and an older child (seven-ish) could try all by themselves. You can make the brooch in any colour wool that you choose and it can be put together in the space of an hour. It’s great fine-motor practise for nimble fingers too.
