The finger knitting method is a simple way to create a cord, without the use of traditional knitting tools. All you need is a pair or fingernails, and some wool. This article will help you learn how to finger-knit. How to cast on, make rows for shaping, decrease stitches, and finish a fingers knit will be covered in this article. If you're a beginner, you'll find it easy to learn and use. You'll be knitting in no time if you follow the instructions.
How to cast on
There are two methods of casting on a knitted finger-project. To create a new row, the two-strand caston uses two strands. The one-strand, cast on method uses only one yarn strand. Either of these methods will add a row in your project, without taking much time. Both methods are simple to learn and easy to apply in your knitting project. It will depend on which project you're working on.
To begin a finger-knitted piece, first remove any unfinished stitches from the edge. The stitch should fall below the purl bump. If the stitch is too loose the piece will appear uneven and have holes. Use two needles or a larger one. You can wrap one needle around each finger if you're unable to do so.
How to make rows
Begin the first row by wrapping the yarn around the index finger. You should see the image in Fig. 4. Now, lift your finger's lower loop above the top row. This will create long stocking stitches. Repeat this process across the row. Place the end to finger knitting yarn under the loops. The row is completed. The second row is now complete. Continue on until you reach the end.
You can then repeat steps 1 through 4 again. You will need to weave in any loose ends once you have reached the end of each row. For weaving, leave at most ten feet of yarn. Continue this process until you have at least 10 feet of yarn. When you finish, you will have a finished blanket that measures about 16" x 10".
How to decrease the stitches and add shaping
The first step in decreasing stitches in finger knit is to make sure that your pattern is still in the round. This is done by joining knitting in the round using the left needle. Next, take the left hand of the first stitch and slip it onto the right side. To continue knitting, you may need to make several rounds of the same pattern. If you're new at knitting, this may prove difficult.
There are many methods to decrease the number of stitches in knitting. It can be done at the beginning, end, or between rows. When decreasing stitches at the end of a row, you can use the K2TOG method. K2TOG technique is the most used. This involves knitting two pieces of yarn together and then knitting your last stitch. Another way of decreasing a stitch? Knitting the last one.
How to finish a finger knit
Finger knitting is possible in several different ways. To begin, place the working yarn on your pointer nail. Next, place the working yarn on your pointer finger. To secure the yarn, slide the end of the yarn under the loops. Continue this process with the second finger. The result will be a tight knot. This will wrap the finger in a soft knitted cord. Afterward, slide the end of the yarn under the loops to close the finger knit.
Then wrap the yarn around your index finger. It should look something like the image shown in Fig. 4. Lift the bottom row and place it on top. The finished finger knit will have an extended strip of stocking. Place the right side of your hand on the back. Once you are satisfied with your finger knitting, slide the loops onto the finger.
