Finger Knitting Projects.

Ever wondered what you can actually make with finger knitting? I’ve got 20 cute finger-knit crafts and patterns that I think you’re going to love.

If you’ve ever wanted to have a go at knitting but haven’t quite known where to start I think finger knitting is a great beginner step to learning. Once you’ve got the finger knitting basics down, you can easily whip up a chunky scarf in 30 minutes.

I’m definitely not an expert when it comes to knitting. In fact, I find it really hard so anything that means I can make something quickly and easily from wool without getting tangled up with needles is always going to get my vote.

Finger Knitting Ideas.

Finger knitting is a fairly easy technique to pick up (find out how to cast on here) and as you’ll see from the range of projects in this post, it’s also a really versatile craft.

Once you’ve learnt how to make your first simple finger-knitted chain (you can find my easy-to-follow how-to finger-knit series here or get the whole PDF eBook here), come back and try one of these surprisingly easy finger-knitting ideas.

There’s a little something here for everyone, from Rococo-style wigs to googly-eyed octopus, infinity scarves to holiday wreaths. Expert or beginner, pick your favourite, grab your yarn and get knitting.

I think it’s safe to say I’ve been bitten by the finger-knitting bug. And if these fantastic finger knitting projects aren’t enough, I have twenty more on my What Can You Make With Finger Knitting post.
