At age 5 I taught myself how to crochet. By age 11, people around the world noticed my crochet abilities both in complexity and speed. I am currently designing my own items, giving back to the community and to my birth country of Ethiopia. I enjoy spreading the love of crochet around the world. I call my business Jonah’s Hands ™️ LLC because every piece of work is touched by my hands.
Roots Ethiopia partners with communities in Ethiopia to turn local ideas into lasting change. They work together to improve schools, educate children, enable livelihoods, and include everyone. Donating to Roots Ethiopia is just one of the ways I like to “give back”. They help families in the region where I was born and that’s very special to me. Also, if you’d like to help me and my family return to Ethiopia to see the library/science lab I built and to meet the children in my birth village who use those new facilities please consider donating.

Jonah’s Hands Brochet Tee
Do you know a “brother” who crochets? Of course boys crochet! Jonah has been breaking this stereotype since he was just a young boy. Join him by celebrating with his ever popular “Brochet” shirt!
The Ted Slouchy Beanie
This is a project that I designed specifically for those asking for an easier project to crochet…and just in time for the cooler months. The Ted Beanie (named after my Uncle) is a Unisex design that is trendy and different than the many beanies already out there. It’s made with Hobbii’s Tweed Delight Yarn. It takes just two balls (one for each color). Contact Hobbii for the free pattern.
Leif Linen Blend Crochet Shirt
This Unisex shirt looks great on my brother Leif. I love the retro look. I also made a pink/brown one for my mom and she looks great in it too. I used Hobbii’s Olivin yarn which is a linen blend and Friends Cotton Silk Yarn for the striping. The modified granny stitch is easy and adds great air flow. The yarn is perfect for the draping of this shirt.
