Learn how to Finger Crochet

Finger crochet is pretty straight forward but it does take a bit of getting used to.

I remember at camp when tying up a boat to the dock. I would pull way extra loops through the rope just because I could. It&#;s like I was fiddly but also I just naturally want to do that because I love to crochet and manipulate yarn in my hands all of the time.

Finger crochet has two elements that you need to watch for.

1. Know how to identify your stitches.
2. Keep your tension consistent.

I&#;m not one to say this very often, but I would definitely practice on a small sample to get used to doing it in your hands. Once you are satisfied, rip it out and begin the real project.

Let show you below on how to finger crochet and you can complete this project at your leisure.

Work up this easy knitting Criss Cross Baby Blanket in no time using Bernat Alize Blanket. It&#;s super soft and plush using Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ. This yarn doesn’t require any tools and works up fast, with its unique loops and chunky microfibre chenille texture. Even for beginners of knitting or crochet, making plush soft cutie toys will be a must try since it requires basic knitting/crochet skills. The easy finger knit bunny I have featured was a perfect example. And now I am going to share this fun finger knitting bunny that you can make with your own hands. Never finger knit before, here is the guide: How to DIY Finger Knitting (Video). It’s easy to do finger knitting by wrap yarn around fingers to make strings. Rows are worked either right to left, or left to right, always with the right side of the work showing, you do not turn your project over at the end of the row. Join a new ball by pulling both the last loop of the previous ball and the first loop of the new ball through the next stitch. When you reach this doubled stitch on the next row, pull the new loop through both loops as if they were one stitch.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Today I’m happy to share a finger crochet blanket tutorial! And the cool thing is, you don’t have to know how to crochet to make this blanket. In fact, I made this video nice and slow particularly for those of you who do not know how to crochet at all but would like a handmade blanket like this.

What kind of yarn to use for finger crochet?

You want to use a very bulky yarn for this. Most chain craft stores have some size 7 yarn that would work! Hobby Lobby always has a good selection of very bulky yarn around the fall/winter. This yarn is the Yarn Bee tocco di lana yarn but you can substitute any super bulky yarn that have access to. You can also make this by using a double or triple strand of a thinner yarn that you like.

These very chunky yarn blankets have been all the rage for a few years with no signs of the trend slowing down. Have you been wanting to make one of these before? I love how quick they work up, just an hour or two and even faster if you have a little bit of crochet knowledge.
