  1. 6 Reasons Older Adults Should Take Up Knitting

  2. 1. Promotes Cognitive Health: Like other organs, the brain functions best when exercised. The act of knitting stimulates and exercises the brain, including portions that control visual processing, language interpretation, and memory storage. This stimulation creates new neural pathways that keep the mind sharp. Seniors who knit reduce their chances of developing mild cognitive decline by 30 to 50 percent.

  3. 2. Boosts Mood: The rhythmic movements involved in knitting calm the mind and body and lower the heart rate and blood pressure. Working on a knitting project also provides a point of focus that can alleviate anxiety and depression. Your loved one can even use his or her new skill to create gifts for family members or others in need. 

  4. 3. Increases Socialization: The fact that there are relatively few stitches to remember means knitting can easily be done while talking and enjoying the company of others. Many avid knitters even join clubs or groups that meet on a regular basis to work on their projects together in a fun and positive environment.

  5. 4. Alleviates Chronic Pain: Knitting can serve as a form of therapy for seniors with chronic pain. The activity provides mental stimulation that makes it difficult for the brain to register pain signals. Knitting also exercises and strengthens the hands, which can prevent or alleviate symptoms of arthritis and tendonitis. 

  6. 5. Enhances Fine Motor Function: Knitting engages the cerebellum, which is the portion of the brain that controls the precision and timing of movements. This type of stimulation can help seniors with Parkinson’s or other neurological conditions maintain or even increase their fine motor skills. Knitting can also serve as a distraction from the painful symptoms of the disease.

  7. 6. Increases Confidence and Self Esteem: Successfully completing a knitting project can provide a sense of accomplishment and pride. Most people can master knitting well enough to produce small projects relatively quickly, which can boost confidence and self-esteem. Since the activity is repetitive in nature, knitting can even be suitable for seniors with mild cognitive impairment or memory loss.
