How to Finger Knit – Finger Knitting

When I was a child my Grandma tried teaching me how to knit.  I wanted to learn, but it was so complicated.  I never did master the craft of knitting.  Knitting can be a difficult thing to learn, but I am going to show you a much easier method of knitting… Finger Knitting.  You are actually going to use your fingers to knit.  No knitting needles need.  All you are going to need is yarn and your hand.  So, let’s do it.

  1. I loved your pics and how they describe how to finger knit. I would like to mention that you can also bind off the knit item by moving the pinky stitch to the third finger and then taking the bottom loop over the top and then move the loop from the third finger over to the second and bring that bottom loop over the top and so on until the last loop where you will bring the yarn through it and pull, cut the yarn from the ball and voila!!!
