My Great Aunt was very fast with a hook and a needle. She was blind. Hand-eye is not necessarily what you need for this skill. The sensitivity in your fingers tells you the tension in the string, the size of the stick, the tightness of the stitch, the space between stitches. Your fingers count them because if you had to rely on your eyes you would be lost. I spoke of my Aunt, My Mother crocheted a wedding dress for my sister that weighed around fifty pounds. It was a double skirt. Three people in our family have worn it now. They say it is incredibly heavy, it is made from the material she used for doilies, and table spreads. I honestly don't remember my mother looking at her stitches unless she made a mistake.

Thankfully we have begun to arrive at a place where skills are more appreciated for the skill and craftsmanship rather than associated with whether someone is male or female. Today we find and accept craftspeople with very diverse skills regardless of gender.

My sister is a sentimental old soul and I thought for this Christmas I'd crotchet her a blanket, knowing she wouldn't be disappointed if it turned out wonky or looking bad, she'd just be happy that the time and thought was taken. Went on KZread and done just a basic blanket. I'm a 36 year old bloke and I couldn't believe that when I was doing it the time flew by and how relaxed I was. Wasn't thinking of anything apart from the crocheting. I'm not afraid to admit I enjoyed it and looking forward to giving it to her. Well done little man, you're awesome! 👍

That little man is killing it. Hopefully he is successful on all his life journeys in the future.

The world is lucky to have someone like Jonah in it

This story has brought tears to my eyes. Mom…Thank you for being a loving Mom and guiding him with his passion. Jonah..you have gained a new fan and I will be following you. Continue with your giving heart, you’re incredible smile and the gift that you give so many🙏🏽❤️

He's a perfect human being. The world needs to see more of this child. He's absolutely gorgeous and just a joy to watch. An amasing special human being.

Geeze...he's doing some seriously advanced crochet patterns here. Wish I could do that. The Jonah cowl neck scarf is simply gorgeous. Good luck in your endeavors. But no matter what comes your way, don't stop the crochet. Keep it coming. You can even start a business w/ all that yarn being sent to you. Yarn is expensive these days too. You can teach others. Your projects are quite beautiful.

As much as I love that boy...what I admire the most is that mother. She’s a good soul god bless her for rescuing and adopting that boy and giving him such a good upbringing. 🙏🏽

Absolutely. Without his parents support (and money to buy all the yarn before he became famous) he might never have had the opportunity, let alone keep up with it. So many young geniuses go wasted, never discovering their talent because of being born in the less than ideal environment!

okay this kid just stole my heart. the way he answers about his past just tickled and hurt at the same time, I hope he's doing well these days!

Dear me, this little man has done so much! Absolutely adorable and brilliant - a breath of fresh air, unlike most kids today who are just stuck in their electronic gadgets. So love his great example. Go, Jonah!

Hi Jonah. You are amazing. I’m 73 and teaching myself to crochet from KZread after being a knitter for years. I find it difficult and appreciate someone who can crochet especially a young boy your age and to do it with such skill. I’m very happy to have seen your video. 👏👏👏💙💙

I almost cried at seeing the book. This kid radiates light and positive energy, and is so good at many things, and he's so adorable!

This lifted my spirits so much. So lovely and inspiring to be sure.

he’s adorable, but clearly incredibly intelligent. he picked up a craft that is absolutely going to help him in his future, he’s going to be great at stitches!!

whos crying tears of joy??? i AINT THE only one. C'mon. Its his relationship with his mum and how warm it all is. its so comfy. oh gosh

His mom is so lucky to have him for a son such a good boy he's so blessed lucky young man

This little man is so special. His heart is so sweet. 💗

He's definitely an old soul! You can tell how proud his mom is. God bless him and his family.

That crocheting is actually a really good foundation for a surgeon, I hope he achieves his goal

I first seen him in Instagram earlier this year and I was blown away at just how talented Jonah really Is. He doesn't even look down at his patterns. It's like they are embedded into his head. It kind of reminds me of a blind person reading braille. It's so amazing how the mind and the hands work together as eyes. 😍 The fact that he still wants to pursue his career in the health field and be a surgeon is even more amazing as he is living his calling now. Jonah if you ever read this you are truly one in a million and such an inspiration to all! God bless you and your family and your family in Ethiopia!❤️❤️❤️

What a cute, mature, and special kid. This story was wholesome and pure.

My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 9, and it took me until I was in my early 20s to “get it”. Now I’m 32 and I’m at an advanced skill level, but that’s after 23 years of trying. The fact that he’s this fast and precise after a short amount of time is astonishing. I wonder what he would do if he learned to knit as well lol

My great aunt tried to teach me when I was a kid but I couldn’t get the hang of it back then. I finally figured out one stitch in college and now do single crochet (mid 30s). I’m still a beginner though, along with knitting, as I don’t get around to doing them much. With trying to learn as a kid, for me I think I tried learning it left-handed as I write and do some things lefty. Turns out, crochet is one of the things I do righty.

I’m 15 and just learnt to crochet a year ago and now that I think of it, Jonah was such a huge inspiration. I can remember throwing my crochet hooks across the room and throwing a tantrum because of how frustrating it was but once I got the hang of it, crochet was the most calming thing I’d ever done. I’m also working towards becoming a surgeon in the future and i hope Jonah will also achieve all his future goals! :D
