DIY Finished Finger Knitted Necklace Side

Making your own finger-knitted necklace from start to finish is a rewarding hobby. Making a fashionable necklace with nothing more than your fingers and no knitting needles or crochet hooks is possible thanks to the easy technique of finger knitting. To complete your finger-knitted necklace, follow these directions:

Material required

• Color(s) of yarn of you’re choosing.
• Scissors
• Yarn or tapestry needle
• Hook-and-eye closure, button, or other fastener
• If necessary, jumper cables
• Tools required opening jump rings
• Buttons require a needle and thread.

Detailed Instructions:

Choose a yarn with a color and feel that appeals to you. Use more than one color for a more complex pattern, or stick to just one.

Cut the yarn to the right length: Choose the desired necklace length. The standard length of a necklace is between 45 and 50 centimeters, or 18 to 20 inches. To allow for the clasp and final touches, add a couple of extra inches.

Cast on with your fingers:

• Put your thumb and palm together and hold the yarn end.
• Make a loop in the yarn by passing it over and behind your index finger.
• Make a row of loops by passing the yarn over and under your fingers repeatedly.
• If you want to make more than one row of loops, you can go behind and over each loop as you work your way back to your starting finger.
• To achieve a custom length, simply repeat the technique to make more rows of loops.

Cast on enough stitches to knit to the desired length. If you want a longer necklace, keep finger knitting until you reach that length. Don’t forget to give yourself some extra yarn for sewing on the clasp at the end!

Bind off by sliding the loops off your fingers one at a time and dragging the working yarn through each loop to complete the finger knitting. A chain-like structure will result from this. After taking the last loop off your fingers, tie a knot to keep it from unraveling.

Attach the clasp

Sew it onto the end of the finger-knitted chain or use jump rings for more versatility, depending on the sort of clasp you’re using. Using a needle and thread, attach the button clasp to the end of the chain.

Trim any excess yarn

Cut off any additional yarn tails, ensuring that the necklace looks neat and tidy.

Make sure the necklace fits snugly around your neck and the clasp closes securely by testing it.

You’ve finished knitting the necklace using your fingers! You may make truly one-of-a-kind creations by playing around with yarn colors, yarn textures, and bead embellishments. Don’t be afraid to try out new patterns and styles when finger knitting because there are so many options available.
