käsityökortit

Käsityökortit, which translates to "craft cards" in English, are a type of educational material commonly used in Finland and other Nordic countries. These cards typically feature a specific craft or handicraft technique or project. Each card usually includes clear, step-by-step instructions, often accompanied by illustrations or diagrams, to guide the user through the process. The aim of käsityökortit is to make learning crafts accessible and manageable for individuals of various skill levels, from beginners to more experienced crafters.

These cards can cover a wide range of craft disciplines, including knitting, crocheting, sewing, embroidery, woodworking, and more. They are frequently found in school settings, as part of home economics or art classes, where they provide structured learning opportunities. Beyond educational institutions, käsityökortit are also popular for hobbyists looking to learn new skills or find inspiration for projects. The format of a card allows for easy organization and reference, making it a practical tool for both teaching and personal craft exploration. They promote self-directed learning and can be a valuable resource for preserving traditional craft knowledge.
