How to Knit With My Index Finger, Thumb, & Long String

Finger knitting is useful for making long chains, belts or thin scarves. You can use your full hand or just one finger to create the project. Chains using the one finger method can be used to decorate your house, sewn on hats or pants for ties, used on bags or used in your hair. You can use any size yarn for your project as well as change colors. You will not need any tools just yarn.

Things You'll Need

• Yarn

Instructions

1. Tie a slipknot on your thumb.

2. Wrap the yarn once around your thumb above the slipknot.

3. Pull the slipknot up, over the top loop, and off your thumb.

4. Continue by wrapping the yarn around your thumb again above the first loop. Then pull the first loop up and off your thumb leaving the second loop in place.

5. Repeat the above until you have the length you want.
