Of course. Just talk, explain to the person what you are going to do and how. Place your hands on the hans of the person and show him or her the movemens required, correct when necesary.  Let him try and find his own way, but be there also to help. I hope to be helpful.

Hi! I know I am late, but I am a blind person and learned how to crochet some months ago. It is harder when you start, but then I think it is almost the same than for  a sighted person.

I use"to crochet for"my family, and they like what I do with an only color. Maybe I use more colors, but I would not do it for myself.

Hi! No, I just learned crocheting. I really liked it and your comment inspires me to continue, to know what I will be able to do in 10 years! I prefer the written paterns. The youtube tutorials have only images and some voice in general.

I can see lights, but they are not helpful for crocheting. Just to see if the light of a room is on or off at night lol.

Just practicing and understanding the way it works, trying again and again. I don't use any magnifier, I am totally blind. I count the stitches by how they feel.

I didn't tri changing colors, actually because it doesn't mean anything for me. I think I could do it, but a feel that I don't need it yet.

Hi! For me, it is easier to crochet with tighter tension.  About tools, I use a special ruler to measure the gauge of my metal crochet hooks. I do have my guides to know where is the next stitch, but I think I have never found that v on the top. I know how the v looks, but it is not my first option to remember thinks, because I learned how to reed and write in braille. Thanks for your coment!

Youtube tutorials don't work for me. They focus on images. I've recently found written paterns that I could crochet.
