Hi, I’m Jonah!
I taught myself to crochet at five years old, and a love of yarn grew into a way to connect with people around the world.
Through Jonah’s Hands, I create my own designs, share what I’ve learned, and give back to my community and to Ethiopia, where I was born.
Every piece I make starts in my hands. Sharing it with you is the best part.
Thank you for being part of my story. Crochet Away Friends!
Giving Back to My Roots
Ethiopia is where my story began, and giving back to the community where I was born means so much to me.
Through my partnership with Roots Ethiopia and the generosity of supporters like you, I’ve helped fund a library and science lab so children have more opportunities to read, learn, and explore.
Roots Ethiopia works alongside local communities to support education and families. Together, we’re helping turn a shared love of crochet into opportunities that reach far beyond my hands.
Thank you for helping me make a difference.
