You can find lots of video tutorials for how to finger knit with loop yarn on the Yarnspirations Youtube Channel.
Basically, you pull one loop through another to “knit” the yarn into a blanket. ETA: it looks like Jo-Ann online is now carrying a version made by Lion Brand which is lower in cost than the other options, but I haven’t tried it so I can’t compare quality.Īnyway, one of the reasons it’s so easy to learn how finger knit with loop yarn is that you don’t need knitting needles or crochet hooks, just your fingers. Jo-Ann’s carries another brand called Loopity Loop Yarn and Michael’s carries the Red Heart brand version. Like any nice yarn, it can be pricey to get enough for a large blanket, but it’s been on sale pretty regularly, and I was able to buy most of mine on sale with an additional 25% off coupon. I’ve been using the Bernat Alize Blanket EZ yarn from Jo-Ann’s because there are fantastic patterns and instructions online for it at. Right now there are at least four different brands making this type of loop yarn and you can find it at both Jo-Ann Fabrics and Michaels (and probably other stores that carry yarn). This is knitting for dummies, and it’s really fun! Finger knitting with loop yarn (aka finger looping) Just so you guys know, this post is not sponsored – I just really enjoyed working with this stuff and wanted to tell you about it! I’ve been wanting to learn finger knitting for a couple of years, but it always seemed intimidating – one more thing to learn, you know? But loop yarn makes finger knitting absolutely foolproof. I got working and a few days later my kids were fighting over this gorgeous chunky knit blanket: I was wondering what in the world it was so I picked up a package and oh my goodness it’s the softest thing I’ve ever felt.Īnd then I read the package and realized you can use this crazy looking yarn to make gorgeous finger knit blankets (and scarves, and hats, etc) without knowing how to knit! I was sold. At the craft store a few weeks ago I found this crazy looking yarn with all these loops on it. So I’ve stumbled on a new craft product that I’m super excited about. In today’s post: If you’ve been intimidated by finger knitting (or any knitting) in the past, this post is for you! Anyone can use loop yarn to make a gorgeous finger knit blanket without knowing how to knit.
