Community Empowerment through Knitting Training in an Effort to Enhance the Creativity of Residents

In Sadengkolot Village, Bogor Regency

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the creativity and skills of the residents of Sadengkolot Village, Bogor Regency, through knitting training. The main problem faced by the community is the limited productive skills that can increase household income. Knitting training was chosen because it is easy to learn, does not require large capital, and has promising economic opportunities. The activity was carried out through stages of counseling, technical demonstrations, hands-on practice, and mentoring. The results showed an increase in the participants' ability to make various knitted products such as bags, wallets, and tablecloths. Participants also showed a high interest in continuing this activity as a creative endeavor. This activity succeeded in fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship and creativity among the village community.
