Why Crochet for Wellness?

Crochet isn’t just a hobby—it’s a proven way to improve mental and emotional well-being:
📖 Studies show that repetitive activities like crocheting activate the brain's reward system, reducing stress and promoting mindfulness.
🧠 Research published in the British Journal of Occupational Therapy found that 81% of respondents reported feeling happier after crocheting, and 75% said it helped reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.
❤️ Crocheting improves focus and hand-eye coordination, boosting self-esteem as you create something tangible and beautiful.
🌟 Engaging in group crafting activities enhances social connection, a vital component of emotional wellness.

This Crochet Play Date is more than an event—it’s a chance to practice self-care, build community, and create something meaningful.
