Finger Knitting How-to

You know how I just wrote about how I like getting a handmade gift more than just about anything.  Well, this is anything.  Sitting on the couch on a lazy Sunday, knitting with my kids . . . that beats gift-getting for sure. It is a gift itself. We just sat there side-by-side, for about an hour, feeling the warmth from each other’s bodies, listening to music from my computer and basking in each others company as the sun streamed through the windows. Ahhh . . .the experience was so delightful, it was hard to peel myself away to take the photos.  That blue pile is my spot in the middle.  You can look for a fun collection of easy knits coming soon from me.
The two kiddos are finger-knitting, which I’ve written about before and again, but it continues to be a favorite activity.  It is a really easy way to make something from nothing, quickly, especially if you use a super-bulky yarn.  I figured it was time to provide instructions to you all, since my family consistently gets so much joy out of doing it.  I’ve provided a finger knitting tutorial below.
You end up with a long coil of knitting like this, that curls itself into a sort of tube.
My son is using a finer and less expensive yarn, here.  You can pretty much use whatever yarn you have sitting around to do this.
They really do enjoy the process.  Often, they will finger knit as we read to them.  It keeps their bodies still while still allowing them enough space to pay attention.
Some day, I’ll make a coiled rug from the pieces. I thought Allie’s use of the thick and chunky yarn might allow that, but she wanted to use it as a scarf.  Cute! And, yes! that’s my tree, still up.  Okay, okay, the decorations are coming down today.  But I wouldn’t have given up my time on the couch knitting with my kids for anything!
**UPDATE:  So many people have asked me for a PDF of the below how-to so they can take the directions on the road for their kiddos.  I finally did it! You can purchase the Finger Knitting How-To PDF in the Flax & Twine Etsy shop here.  Thank you so much for your support. You can always just follow along with the photos below!
Materials:
Any yarn
An eager kiddo
Time: However long you want!

I think that super-bulky yarn is a good weight to start with.  Its easy to work with on the fingers and your kiddo will get something done pretty fast.

Start by placing the yarn in between your thumb and hand, such that the tail hangs behind your hand.

Pick up the yarn that goes to the ball, leaving the tail in between your thumb and hand. Bring the yarn behind your middle finger and over your ring finger.

Now, bring the yarn around your pinky, behind your ring finger and over your middle finger.

Next, bring the yarn around your index finger.

Now, we’re going to head back again. Bring the yarn behind your middle finger and over your ring finger.

Then, around your pinky, behind your ring finger, over your middle finger.

Starting with your pinky finger, bring the lower loop on your finger over the upper loop and over your finger.

Continue this process on each finger, bringing the lower loop over the upper loop and over your finger.  Bring the tail in between your index finger and your middle finger.  This is your home base. Now, repeat.

Wrap the yarn around your index finger.

Proceed to repeat the over and under until you have two loops on each finger.

Pull the lower loops over all the upper loops and over the finger, starting at the pinky.

You end up back at home base and you just keep repeating.

This is how the back looks.

This is how the opposite side of the finger knitting looks.

To finish, cut the yarn and bring the end through each of the loops.  If your child wants a break at any point, bring a pencil or pen through the loops in this same way and set aside.  Then, easily place the loops back on the fingers when you want to continue.

Take the loops off your fingers and pull tightly.

Voila – there’s your finger knitting chain.

My kids have gotten fancy and done two colors at the same time, or braided three lengths of finger knitting together or made HUGE balls out of their finger knitting.  The fact is, its all fun and a great way to start those little ones knitting. Allie started finger knitting when she was 4. Give it a whirl with your young ones. And here’s to wishing for many more lazy knitty Sundays for you and yours!

  1. My girls love to finger knit. In fact, they can do it all day long. But then we have these long tails of knit and there are only so many scarfs they can keep. Any ideas for fun projects with them?

    • This website is simply beautiful! Anne I cannot thank you enough for all the gorgeous ideas, and the fantastic instructions! Until today and I didn’t even know that 4 finger knitting exsisted – I’d only ever done the very think 1 finger knitting! You’ve opened up a whole new world to me. As a novice, I’m finding that the knitting seems to curl round as it grows in length. Is this the norm? Best wishes

    • Great ideas for Finger- knitted pieces:
      Chose a few blending colors and after the pieces are completed, sew the pieces together to make
      1: A blanket 2. pillow covering to spruce up the bed 3. cushion covering 4. place mats 5. make
      some short enough to be able to bend in half length-wise to make coasters for the dining table or
      patio table 6 head-bands–put on a couple beads…they’ll be great!!
      Thank you so much for the opportunity to communicate; I live in the Bahamas and I am a self-taught knitter. I have
      never tried this way of knitting yet, but I find it rather facinating and will definitely try this method.

  6. Thanks for the reminder, I want to teach my grandchildren how to finger-knit.
    Oh, and don’t feel pressured to “take down” Christmas… at my home we leave everything up until Epiphany, when the kings finally arrive to pay homage to the Christ Child. So we get 12 full days of Christmas, and no pressure to hurry the good feelings out of our house. Now, waiting past January 6th would make me feel like I am being neglectful… but until then… relax, enjoy this time with your family!

  7. It’s the best way to keep kids busy! I adore finger knitting. Just wandering if you know about arm knitting. I’ve read about it, but I can’t find instructions. Do you know how-to?

  9. I’ve been doing this since 2nd grade at summer camp. LOL. However, I call finge CROCHETING instead of finger KNITTING. So fun to do though!

  10. Oooh Yay! I am so excited! First reason is that I have just discovered your wonderfully delicious blog and second reason, Finger Knitting! A rush of memories just came flooding back from my childhood. I had totally forgotten about finger knitting. Thanks so much for the tutorial, I can’t wait to show my kids when they are old enough. Your afternoon you described seemed so blissful. It is Summer in Australia but come winter, I can picture us in front of the fire, surrounded by lots of colourful yarn. xx

  11. Glad you are all enjoying it. I have no doubt that your children will too. I do know how to arm knit. Its hard for me to show on my blog because you need both hands and then I can’t take photos! I will see if I can figure out a way to show you all. Maybe a video? Or, maybe I can get my hubby to take the photos 🙂 we’ll see . . .

  13. so get this…my 11yr old grandaughter tried to teach me this and got so fustrated with me she said “Mars (thats what the grandaughters call me), i give up, maybe your too old to learn” wwweellll then…i showed her. i added 3 different kinds of yarn (once i figured out how to do it) and made 24, yes 24 very long scarfs for everyone that showed up at Christmas. her reply then…”wow Mars you did it”.

  18. I’m a long time crochet freak and my husband is a knitter but neither of us had ever done this. It was nice to sit and watch tv and finger knit at the same time! Will definitely be a fun thing to teach to our someday little ones. Thank you for sharing!

  20. How fun-I’m going to set my 9-year-old down to try it. She has tried knitting but gets frustrated with tangles so this might be perfect to ease her in.

    I just took my Christmas tree down-we leave it up for the 12 days of Christmas also. Love having it up, love taking it down to deep clean my living room.

  21. I’ve never heard of this before! It looks so interesting, I think I’ll try it and then sew the pieces together into a hat….homemade slouchy hat! (Hopefully)
    I tried knitting when I was younger, but got frustrated and decide I liked sewing more. XD
    This will be fun.

  22. Peaceful reader – I hope your 9-year old loves it! I think she will, because I find this cuts down on knitting frustration a lot! They feel good accomplishing so much.

    Phyllis, thanks you so much for the award – you are so kind to think if me.

    I will do some posts soon on ideas for what to do for finger knitting. A rug is one of them – can’t wait to try it!

  25. Came here from Phyllis’s blog and had to comment on this post. My just turned 12 year old daughter LOVES to finger knit. She has been doing it for about 4 years. She even sells her scarves at our Homeschool Skate Day. One thing she does is use 2 or more colors at once. She also makes pom poms to attach to each end. I loved seeing the photos of your kiddos doing this. Now Keilee has learned to knit and she is finger knitting less and less…but she loved it so! I have little finger knitted goodies everywhere!

    • Cool, I just realized that blogger must have updated its ability to respond to individual comments! I love your story here, karen! Thanks so much for sharing. Great idea to add the pom poms to the scarves. Now that she’s learned to knit – watch out!!

  35. Thank you so much for this thorough tutorial! I do ALOT of crochet and my grandkids (ages 7 an 9) always ask me to teach them. I’ve tried several times but think they are too young to really get the hang of the fine motor skills necessary. This is a GREAT skill and craft to teach them now. It works up fast and they get to see their work come to fruition. We are having a hand knitting date tonight!

  36. Love this! Can’t wait to try it with my kids! Having one problem though – the parts coming off my index finger are loose and I can’t figure out how to tighten them. Any suggestions?

    Reply

    • Jodi.Have fun with the kids! My suggestion is to give the ring finger loop a little extra pull as you bring it over your ring finger. This will tighten the loop on your index finger and should limit the size of that loop. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Your rug idea is perfect 🙂

  40. I do inhome childcare and have a family that the kids have been fingerknitting here for a while now. They have taught some of the other kids to do it to. It would be fun to make something with them so I will be watching out for some good ideas fo do with them. Thanks for the great detailed directions so I can now learn to do it with them.

    Reply

  41. This fun but it is turning out very messy as it comes off the index finger and real nice as it comes off the pinky finger. Can’t solve the problem by giving the extra pull when I take if off the ring finger. Tried doing this with the index and middle finger both-still no luck. Always have a huge loop as I take it off the index finger. What am I doing wrong. This would be so neat if I could get it right.

  44. I adore this !!!! Plus, I can’t believe my lifetime of crafting (and my Mom’s) that I’ve never done this !! I just ran to my stash of yarn and immediatly started and love it !!! My grand daughter was just wanting to learn to knit but as I was ‘teaching/showing’ her all the intricacies she was torn between the tv and me…I lost. Now THIS with sure to keep her attention !! Thanks so very much !

  46. I do this with the potholder loops that are used in the plastic looms, makes great headbands.

    Reply

  47. We made a snake for my son this way. Super fun! If when you finish an adequate snake length, you weave so there are 4 loops on each finger then move the bottom yarn over the top 3 times. Weave the yarn through a normal two loop cycle. Tie off. Opt, go through the ending loops with a “tongue color” this technique gives the snake a triangle head!

  48. Hello, Thanks for this. I did this recently with my girls and she has been knitting for hours ever since. She got excited yesterday at the store when she found the bargain bin of yarn. Hilarious.

    I hope you don’t mind. I do a pin of the week on my blog and I used yours for it. Hope that’s OK… I linked it to you to make sure everyone knew, I did not come up with it. Thanks again!

  52. hello anne, whoa what a good blog you have here!
    i also do finger knit in my spare time, and always wondering how to make the knit strands not only long, but also thick and wide enough for a scarf. is there any way to join some strands into one to make it thicker (or wider)? i really would like to know 😀

    Reply

    • Hi! One way to make it thicker is to finger knit the finger knitting chain – you basically treat the finger knit strand as its own piece of yarn and finger knit it. Another way is to braid finger knitting chains together. I’ve never tried seaming the strands together with the same yarn, but I think it would likely work well. I will have to try that and see how it comes out! Thanks for your comment.

  54. From an Early Childhood Teacher’s point of view…excellent eye and hand coordination which also helps the child in creativity. Might I add keep children self entertained and self accompolishment and away from todays violence. It also looks like good therapy for arthritics. My hat off to you, Anne. Will look for more of your creativities! God Bless!

    • Hi. I’m so sorry it’s not working out well for you. Keep practicing and your stitch will get more even and consistent. Also, after it comes off your hand, pull on the tail end a bit and the stitches will create the tube.

  69. I have always complained not having knitting/crocheting sticks at home, but now I’ve found this, I’m so happy to be able to realise that it is possible to just finger-knit! Those pictures above are easy to understand for beginners like me! I also suggest that you can make a bracelet (warm for winter!!), just knitting a chain and tying the ends together 🙂

  71. I’m a kindergarten teacher and have been doing fingerknitting with my kiddos for years and I agree – it’s wonderful! So calming, especially for hyperactive kids. But the trouble is what to do with all that finger knitting! Thanks for answering that question! I wanted to share with you a faster way to fingerknit. I was doing it the way you described and last year I ran across this method and it doubles the speed. I had written out instructions, but just erased them all because I realized a video is a lot less tedious 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtcROqJi0lM
    The other good thing about this method is that to adjust the tension they simply spread out/wiggle their fingers – no more little ones’ fingers turning purple! 🙂 Hope this helps! Happy knitting, and thanks again for your wonderful ideas!

    • Liz, Thanks so much for sharing. I never thought just to bring the yarn across all the fingers like that, but it does make it faster! Cool.

  73. Oh my gosh! I just somehow happened upon your blog, and I am so excited! I used to do finger knitting when I was younger (much younger)! Every time I am in my craft room and see all my unused yarn, I wondered “how do you do the finger thingy that I used to do?” I am so excited to know how to do this again and to teach my little girl. I am ecstatic to have something to do with the yards and yards of finger knitting that she will do too (I remember having totes full of my finger knitted balls and I think I unraveled them all and gave the yarn away)! Thank you for your blog, especially about the finger knitting. You’re awesome and so creative!

  76. Maybe you could make belts and head/hairbands. I learned this as a Campfire girls in elementary school. I remember using them to hold hair out of my face. I live in Arizona where it gets hot in the summer and would use as a headband to keep the sweat out of your eyes. In the winter you can use as an ear warmer. That is what I can remember just off the top of my head. I was just trying to remember how to do this. I couldn’t figure it out. Thanks for the post.

  80. i made yarn out of an old tshirt and gave this a spin. it’s pretty! but I only managed to create a foot and a half long of knit… which I cant really use as a scarf… wondering if there is a way to make more knits from more shirts, and connect 3 or more to make one giant scarf?

    you’re right.. I’m hooked by this project, I just wanna do more…

    Thank you! 😀

    Reply

    • I think that is great! You can stitch the tshirt strips together to get a strip of finger knitting the length you’d like. Then, when you have three strands, you can whip stitch them together side by side to build something wider. Keep it up!

  81. Got the link from All Free Holiday Crafts email. My kids actually taught me how to do this when they were in grade school. They’re all grown up now. I was just wondering 2 days ago how to do it because I had forgotten. Thanks so much for the tutorial. Adorable kiddos you’ve got there.

  82. I’m having trouble understanding what to do with the tail when starting. the loop on my index finger isn’t tight enough because of the tail.

    Reply

    • HI. The tail does just kind of hang there for the first row. It doesn’t hold snugly to your finger, but you pull that starting tail in between your forefinger and middle finger and just let it hang. After a couple more rows, you won’t notice it any more. And, you don’t need to worry about it – it won’t unravel from there. xx

  94. I have a question maybe you could ask? When see everyones work here on the internet I get so frustrated, because my own finger knitting gets so loose. It is not at all as tight as yours is. Mine have big holes in it. Do you know why this happens?

    Reply

    • Hi Michelle,
      Don’t get frustrated, you’ll get it! It takes time to master a new craft. Holes can happen because you’re dropping a stitch along the way. Do you ever look at your hand and find that a strand is missing? It could be because you pull the yarn really loose when you pull it up over your finger. If you finger-knit more at mid-finger as opposed to the bottoms of your fingers, this could help. If you send me a photograph of your finger knitting, I may be able to help more. Send it to flaxandtwine (at) gmail (dot) com.

  96. Say you ran out of your orange yarn and have to add more , how do you do this????
    Do you just tie the next strand on to the end of the orange and then weave in the ends????

    Reply

  99. I love the idea of making hot pads, scarfs. hair ties, rugs and wall hangings out of the finger knitted yarn, t shirts, etc. I had never seen the finger knitting before, but I used to have what was called a Knity Knoby, It was a
    round plastic tube with 4 prongs at the top. You wrapped the yarn around the knobs just as you do your fingers. I would roll the strand up and sew it together. I made coasters and hot pads. I’m anxious to try this method! Thanks for the tutorial! I had kind of forgotten about it!

  101. I think you have a very creative mind, and a very supportive soul. Thank you so much for sharing these terrific ideas with the rest of us. When my children were small, I was a Girl Guide leader, and the most fun we had was crafting with what seemed to be the most insignificant and inexpensive supplies. We spent one rainy camp weekend making origami dogs and cats out of scraps of paper. I see some of those girls occasionally in the neighbourhood or the grocery store – I don’t recognize them at first, but they always recognize “Sunshine” – makes my heart warm. The same will happen to you too! Thanks again, and keep up the good work!

    • Hi! I’m so glad. You can attach the paracord to a speed clip which you can find at your local craft stores. I have detailed instructions on how to do this in my finger knitting book, Knitting Without Needles. Thanks so much!
