Materials Needed:
- Four pieces of wool of different colors.
Steps:
Start with a Knot:
- Tie all four strands of wool together at one end to create a starting knot.
- Hold this knot with your thumb to keep it secure initially.
Begin Finger Knitting:
- Wrap the first strand around your finger.
- Push it down slightly.
- Wrap it over again.
- Pull the bottom four strands over your finger, then push it down.
Continue Knitting:
- Keep the pattern going by wrapping another strand around your finger.
- 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:
- Trim any excess wool after the final knots.
- Tuck any remaining loose ends into the worm body to clean up your work.
- Optionally, stick two googly eyes to the head of your worm to give it a fun look.
