How to Finger Knit

     Finger knitting is mainly used for straps, belts, or just entertaining children when they are sitting and doing nothing. Because it uses four fingers, anything made with this method has only four stitches.
     To begin, lay a tail of yarn between your thumb and index finger. Keep it stationary with your thumb.


     Move your yarn behind your index finger and in front of all of your other fingers.


     Weave it in front of your middle finger, behind your ring finger, and in front of your little finger.


     Move your yarn behind your little finger and in front of all of your other fingers.


     Now weave the yarn in front of your ring finger, behind your middle finger, and in front of your index finger.


     Move the yarn behind your index finger, in front of your middle finger, behind your ring finger, and in front of your little finger.



     Weave the yarn back one more time through your fingers. You will have two loops around each finger (see below).


     Starting with your index finger, pull the bottom loop over the top loop.




     You will have one loop on your index finger. Now, continue this with the loops on the rest of your fingers.
      When you're done with that, all you have to do is repeat the steps over and over again until your finger knitted piece has reached your desired length! Your work should look somewhat like this.
