Knitting and crocheting are some of the most popular ways to relieve stress and relax these days. You would have likely seen a friend or two dabble in the craft on social media. Knitting and crocheting are easy to get into too – just yarn, needles and a tutorial to get you started, although you would likely have a few misshapen creations at the beginning. The simple repetitive action of the craft can help calm the mind and give one a sense of purpose and accomplishment.
The benefits of knitting have been well-documented too. Various studies have shown that knitting can help with managing chronic pain, depression and even improve memory and reduce the decline in brain function with age.
It is no wonder then that many celebrities have also taken on knitting and crocheting as a hobby. Here are 10, ranging from South Korean pop stars to Hollywood A-listers.
