Happy Summer...so I'm going to teach you how to make....

A scarf??? Yes! A scarf!!! I know it isn't quite scarf season yet, but I just learned a really cool skill, called finger knitting! Ever done it before? Well, now is your chance!
Get up from the computer and grab some yarn. All you need is that and some scissors.

Lay the yarn across your palm.

Weave it through your fingers...

and do the rest...

Now, wrap the yarn around your hand...

and bring it over to the front!

Now, pull the bottom loop over the top look and bring your finger through!

Do it with each finger.

Another example of bringing the finger through.

The back looks a mess right now, but don't worry!

It will look like this when you bring all the loops over.

Wrap the yarn around your hand again!

It will start looking like this.

See?

It's getting longer....

and longer....


It's as long as I want it now!

So, snip off 4 inches or thread...

and weave it through the loops.

Slide it offf your fingers...

and tie it in a know! Cut off the excess yarn and repeat with the other side.

Done! Isn't that cool? It took me 15 minutes, max.

It looks awesome!



various ways of tying, plus you can use it as a belt!

Now is the time folks, stock up on your scarves now! Have you ever done this before? And also, will you do me a big favor? If you decide to do this, will you post a comment about it below? Thanks!
