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!

Jonah Larson is a Season 8 Knit Star
I'm excited to share with you that I'm a Knit Star (Crochet Star in my case) for Season 8 Masterclass. I'll be walking you through, step-by-step, how to make this luxurious, slouchy beanie with pom pom. I've teamed up with Hedgehog Fibers from Ireland who hand dyed yarn just for this project (but feel free to use any yarn you like). When you sign up for Season 8, you get the classes for 9 other Knit Star Fiber Artists too! They are online so you can watch whenever you like and as many times as you'd like.

Also (and this is extra special for me) a portion of each class sold will go to my charity in Ethiopia to help kids further their education. Consider registering for Knit Stars- it will keep you busy this fall/winter season and you’ll create beautiful things!

Crochet Boho Pumpkin
It’s a tradition! I crochet a pumpkin every fall season. This year I decided to go boho style and used a thick macrame yarn. It’s different-not for everyone, but I like it!
Caron Crochet Shawl
This shawl was meant to be made using Caron Cakes, hence the name, but I used Red Heart Roll With It Sparkle. I loved how it turned out. The geometrical design of this shawl makes it unique and interesting. Definitely a show stopper! Click on the orange button to watch the video to get more tips on how to crochet it!
Crochet Granny Square Tank
I made this crochet tank for my sister. She really received a lot of compliments on it! I used a yarn made with a cotton/acrylic blend. The granny squares are easy to crochet and there are so many colors to choose to fit your style.
