Finger knitting

We are in the kids corner! Teach a child how to finger knit, get them introduced to the magic world of crafting with yarn. Use a chunky yarn, maybe a variegated color, let the child pick and chose... Wrap the yarn around the fingers as shown in video, makes a scarf, a wrist band, a head band... or something. Have fun!

Arm Knitting

In this DROPS video we show you how to arm knit with a bulky yarn, in the end of this video we show how to arm knit a scarf/neckwarmer with three strands in DROPS Snow (we used 6 skeins and it goes twice around the neck). Start with making a slipknot and slip it over your wrist. Hold the yarn in the other hand and start cast on. Cast on the number of stitches you wish. Adjust tension so loops are not too loose or tight. Knit to you have your desired length. Binding off with knit stitches, you knit the stitches and then keep passing the next to last knitted stitch over the last knitted stitch. When 1 stitch remains, cut the thread, and pull yarn through last stitch.
