- Take the bottom strand of the previously used color over the top of the next color strand and over your finger, then push down.
- Repeat the wrapping and pulling process with the different colored strands in sequential order to build your worm.
Let Go of the Knot:
Once you have sufficient knitted length, you can let go of the starting knot.
Finish the Worm:
- Continue knitting until there is little yarn left.
- Push your thumb and index finger through the last loop.
- Pull the remaining strands through this loop.
- Divide the strands into two groups and tie a secure knot at each end.
Final Touches:
