New Technique - Finger Crochet
I learned something new today! You are able to crochet without a crochet hook.
I had heard about Arm Knitting before, but Finger Crochet was a new one to me. I gathered up four strands; 2 stands of Caron One Pound in Off White, 1 strand of Caron One Pound in Black, and 1 strand of Red Heart in Pink. Here are the results:
CO 10 stitches + 1 for turn.
Rows 1-4: sc
Row 5: dc
Row 6: sc
Row 7: hdc
Row 8-9: sc
The result: This makes a breathable, loose, thick square. It would be good for a blanket for colder weather locations or as a floor mat/rug.
I believe using a finger to crochet is a good way to understand how the crochet hook needs to operate, but it is not for those who have stiff or older joints. The dc really made my questions the whole idea and I needed to take a break after that row.
Overall: Would do again. A++++++.
