Finger knitting is great for slightly bored hands on car trips, for screen-free time, and for developing fine motor skills. Plus, the end result can be used in many creative ways, like a necklace!

Start by placing the tail of the thread in the palm of your non-dominant hand. This tail will be one side of your necklace, so leave it 6 to 12 inches long to adjust the length.

With the yarn still attached to the ball, weave the cord over and under your fingers toward your little finger.

Once you get to your little finger, repeat and go back to your ring finger.

Repeat this same pattern again until there are two loops of yarn on each finger.

Starting with your ring finger, pull the bottom loop closest to your palm over the second loop and pull it off your fingers.

As before, weave the strand of yarn over and under your fingers until there are again two sets of loops and you can pull the bottom yarn over the top yarn.
Continue until a chain is formed.

Tie off the end of the finger knitting chain by knotting the ends of the yarn. Leave the strand at the end as long as it is the second side of your necklace..
