It’s transfixing to watch Jonah Larson crochet. The 12 year old loops yarn at lightning speed, often while he is talking or doing another task. His creations vary from simple to difficult: on the easier end is a nubby olive green beanie which he can make in 30 minutes flat, but his more challenging creations include a flower afghan that he created at the age of 7 and out of 800 flowers stitched together. Larson has become a bit of a celebrity with his magnetic touch and sweet demeanor.
While speaking to Larson on the phone, who is, in fact, crocheting as we talk, he tells me that he began crocheting at the age of seven. At the time, he had been having issues in school, “I was a bit of a rascal,” he says. His mother Jennifer notes that he has an “overactive mind,” and would receive calls to pick up Larson from school due to his behavior. When Larson discovered crochet, it allowed him to keep busy once he had finished his work.
When friends and neighbors wanted to see his creations, he launched an Instagram. After that, a local newspaper from his town of La Crosse, Wisconsin interviewed him and according to his mother. “It went viral and since then it was nonstop.” Since then, Larson has gone on to publish a bookthat will be released in July.
While there is a philanthropic aspect to Larson’s crocheting, he aims to share other messages with his craft. Recently, he crocheted an entire quilt that read “BLM” for Black Lives Matter and another that boasted the statement “Stay Home” in response to COVID-19—both difficult crochet processes that Larson had to map out on graph paper beforehand. Nevertheless, creating these pieces was an enjoyable process for the prodigy.
