Knitting is the process of looping without using knitting needles and hooks. All that is needed is fingers and yarn. You can weave with the help of such a technique a scarf, jewelry, belt.
Basics of Hand Knitting
There are five fingers on a person’s hand. During knitting, you can use them all, but you can only four, three or two. If you type in five, then the canvas is obtained from the same number of loops. That is, the number of loops in a row corresponds to the number of fingers that were involved in knitting.
We offer you to learn the technique of dialing the product with four fingers.
Fasten the edge of the thread on the thumb. Then stretch it with the "eight" between the four remaining. Around the little finger, wrap the thread and return to the index finger using the same technology (wrap with a “eight”). The first row has turned out. The following can be done in several ways.
The first and easiest is to pull the thread over all your fingers. The second (difficult) method is to repeat the pulling of the thread with the “eight”, as in the beginning, one way and the other. The second row will go above the first. Next, remove the loop of the first row from each finger. Leave the second. That is, it turns out that the loops of the first row will be linked to the loops of the second. Repeat the previous steps until the product is finished.
Close the knit like that. Only one row should remain on the fingers. That is, remove the lower loop from the little finger and throw it through the upper to the nameless one. And so do with the other fingers. Tighten the last loop.
The positive aspects of needlework
Knitting is an affordable hobby for people of all ages. You can do it everywhere. For example, even in airplanes where it is forbidden to use piercing objects. After all, nobody can forbid you to use knitting on your fingers.
This is a rather useful exercise in a bad mood, stress. It calms, brings pleasure and uplifting. Also safe for little needlewomen. After all, it does not use sharp objects, such as knitting needles and hooks.
Tips for Beginners
When you start the knitting process, do not tighten the loops tight, otherwise it will be difficult to remove them later. The threads can also pull the fingers, which can stop blood circulation in the joints. And your hands may be numb.
For knitting, you can use any thread (cotton or wool), it is best to choose those with a diameter of more than three millimeters.
First, carefully study the technique and then get to work.
Knitting on fingers is an interesting way of needlework for everyone: both for beginners and experienced knitters. Let's try to do something new and unusual.
If you are ready to start knitting without needles with your own hands, we suggest creating such a fashionable and bright scarf.
How to knit a colorful scarf
For work, you will need six skeins of yarn of different colors, a hook and, of course, your “skillful hands”.
Proceed to the set of stitches. Put your palm on the table. Take the thread and stretch over the index, under the middle finger, then on top of the ring finger and under the little finger. Next, skip it in the reverse order between your fingers. Repeat this one more time. The result is two loops on each finger. Now we begin to create a unique masterpiece.
Finger knitting
Hold the end of the thread with your thumb. Take the bottom loop that is on the little finger. Take it off. Pass through the upper loop. That is, by such actions you will allow the loop between the little finger and the nameless to drag on. Repeat the same with all fingers. Then pull the thread between the middle and the index. Wrap the yarn around the last and again stretch across all your fingers. Make two loops. Again, starting with the little finger, remove the lower loops from all fingers. Repeat the whole process first.
Be patient, and you will have created an amazing needlework with your own hands. Knitting should be in the form of a narrow strip four centimeters wide. Knit to the desired length. In our example, this parameter is sixty centimeters. When the strip is connected, fasten the loops (see above how to do this). In this way, dial five more colorful elements.
Assembly of the finished product
So, from each skein you knitted six colorful stripes. Then take two blanks, which are more or less combined in color and connect them with a thread.
You can use the hook. Pass them yarn crosswise. Then do the same with the rest of the workpieces. In order for us to assemble the product in one cloth, it is necessary to connect all the resulting strips with each other with a thread.
Scarf Decoration
You can decorate a scarf with buboes. To do this, take a white thread and wrap four fingers around it or use a piece of cardboard. Remove the winding from your hand and pull the thread inward. Tie tightly. Cut the resulting loops. Bubo is ready! Do five more. Place three buboes on each end of the scarf and sew. You can make them plain or multi-colored. Rely on your taste.
What product still allows hand knitting?
Scarf snood
To get the product, you will need:
- a skein of thread;
- scissors;
- your pens.
Use your fingers to draw the starting loop and put it on your right hand. Take the ends of the thread with your left hand and dial six loops with your right. Make it look like you are knitting with needles. Then remove the first edge with your left hand, and type the rest with your front smooth surface. Knit to the length you need.
Finish knitting as follows. Transfer two loops to your left hand. Take the nearest eyelet, stretch over the second and tighten. So on the left hand should remain one loop. Repeat until the nodes on the right end. Leave the last loop on your left hand. Cut the thread coming out of the ball. Pass the tail through the remaining loop and tighten. Take the needle and thread. Turn out the scarf. Staple the edges of the product.
Thanks to such amazing needlework as hand knitting, we got such an unusual scarf snood. Is it weak for you to make such a product with your own hands without knitting needles and a hook?
If you know how to use these tools, then knitting with your hands will be easy to understand. Surprise yourself. Good luck in your work!
