Children love projects they can take on the go, and Finger Knitting Fun gives youngsters the skills they need to craft anywhere. This no-needle technique can be used for a wide range of projects including bags, belts, necklaces, hats, and more. Finger Knitting Fun contains 28 kid-friendly projects that work up in no time.
Children and curious adults can learn how to knit strands that can be used for practically anything. In addition to wearable crafts, Finger Knitting Fun features tutorials for toys (faux snakes and jump ropes), decorations (garlands and mobiles), and practical projects like laundry lines and bath mats.
Finger Knitting Fun includes illustrated, step-by-step instructions that make learning a joy instead of a chore. Although this book's focus is knitting, some of the crafts pull in other materials like beads, ribbon, and leather, to name a few. Author Vickie Howell, a knit and crochet fanatic, makes fiber arts accessible to people of all ages. The host and Creative Consultant of Knitty Gritty, Howell has gained fame in the crafting world for her emphasis on creative community.
When you share Finger Knitting Fun with your kids, you'll inspire their creativity and spark their imagination. One trip to the craft store for an eye-catching skein of yarn, and soon your junior knitters will have their own yarn stashes! These projects lend themselves to odds and ends of all kinds, whether they be yarn, felt, buttons, or even twigs from the back yard. Knit cuffs, cozies, and home decor as a family and you'll create memories that will last a lifetime.
