My daughter is 8, and she and most of her classmates are pretty obsessed with finger knitting right now. They love being able to make something wherever they go, and luckily I’ve donated a lot of yarn to the school so they always have supplies at the ready.
But it’s hard to know what to do with these chains of knitting, or how to make them into other projects that are usable.
Red Ted Art shared instructions for a finger knit beanie from Bean Creative, and I think it’s an amazing idea for using finger knitting in a completely different way.
She also has fantastic instructions for a finger knit Santa hat, which might be the perfect project for your tween this time of year.
Do you or someone in your family finger knit? I’d love to know what you do with all the pieces you’ve made!
