Learn How to Finger Crochet

Have you always wonder how to finger crochet? Well this is your chance to learn how.
Just look at this beautiful necklace I made by finger crocheting. 

 

Step By Step Instructions how to finger crochet a single chain necklace.

I used Chunky  wool for this necklace and no crochet hooks required.

Step 1: Create a slip knot and place the ship knot over your thumb.


Step 2: Wrap your yarn over top of your thumb and pull the bottom  yarn over the top yarn that is on your finger. Pull tight.


Step 3: After pulling tight hang on to your yarn  to prevent twisting , keep chaining until you reach the desire length of your necklace.


Step 4: Once you are at the desire length, take the beginning tail and pull in through the loop, until it is tight. Add an extra knot if you want to prevent your necklace from falling apart during washing, weave in your ends, and add embellishments if wanted. Enjoy

Welcome to The Chunky Knot

Through out my blog I will be sharing my for crochet as well my free and paid patterns with you. I love to crochet it is a passion of mine. And has been for over 30 years. Life would not be the same if I couldn't crochet. When I was 16 my step mom taught me how to crochet. As well my mom bought me a beginners book on how to crochet. I have been hooked ever since,

The yarn, the textures, the color all wheeled me in. Crocheting is also therapeutic to me, as I have arthritis and fibromyalgia  in both of my hands. Which causes constant pain for me. But I manage my pain with my crocheting.
