At age 5 I taught myself how to crochet. By age 11, people around the world noticed my crochet abilities both in complexity and my speed. I am currently designing my own items, giving back to the community and 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 to my GoFundMe. Thank you crochet friends!

My Ethiopian Afghan
Red, yellow, and green- the colors of the Ethiopian Flag. I’m so proud of this blanket because it represents my birth country. I was only in Ethiopia for a few short months before my mom and dad brought me to America, but I will never forget where I came from. I’m also so blessed and proud to be an American.
The yarn I used for this blanket is one of my favorites- Caron Simply Soft.

Caron Crochet Shawl
You'll want to crochet this beautiful shawl using Caron Simply Soft. I used the color Chili Flakes but there are many colors to choose from. This shawl uses several stitches including a picot edge which gives it the beautiful detail and texture. You can customize the size to meet your needs. I have a video tutorial available below. You may need to slow down the video because I was crocheting fairly quickly!

Highlights Of My Crochet Journey
A Hat For Drew
I’ve had the pleasure to meet Drew Barrymore and she’s so nice! I made her this hat that reminds me of cotton candy. I think she likes it!
A Day With Melissa!
My whole family was able to enjoy Los Angeles this year as I prepared for my debut on Little Big Shots. Melissa McCarthy and her husband were both so kind and funny too!
Kelly Clarkson and more!
It was so fun to meet Kelly and her guests which were Cedric The Entertainer, Danica Patrick, and Mindy the Ninja. I made them all a crocheted item and taught them how to crochet. So fun!
