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!

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!

My Favorite Hook- The Streamline Galaxy Swirl
I frequently get asked how I can crochet so fast without pain in my hands. Well, it has a lot to do with my hook. I’ve used many different kinds of hooks and the most comfortable for me is the Furl’s Streamline Swirl Hook. It is ergonomically correct and is lightweight for my hands. This makes it easy to crochet for long periods of time. It also has excellent stitch definition and allows me to crochet fast. There are many fun colors to choose from and reasonably priced- remember if you crochet a lot, your hooks are an investment.

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!
