Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Recently a friend on break from the Art Institute took 5 minutes to show me a technique I should’ve known years ago! Finger knitting is the easiest thing in the world and can be learned Here
This project is a few of my finished scarves (some felted and the rest left alone) which are on sale at Local Honey here in Nashville, and one which I wear on a daily basis. These are so perfect for layering, staying colorful, and getting some stitching done no matter where I am.
Material Notes
To felt or full a finger knit scarf, simply throw it in the washer with some clothes and hot water. Or do so by hand with a bit of dishsoap and very hot water. Block your fulled piece by steaming with an iron, DO NOT actually apply the iron.

Ruffles – I am laughing out loud at your post – I think you are talking about french knitting – because the result looks similar to the chain you get here and i recon you could use a toilet roll as the dolly – rite? happy sewing xxx
and I love the mustard one – lush work Ashchaser, thanks for sharing.

How do you make the felt one? The tutorial explains the “chain-linked” one.

Simply use yarn thats atleast 70% wool, and throw into the wash with some other clothes. Add your regular detergent, hot water, and the product will be “fulled” to look like a dreadlock. The one pictured was that new Stitch N’ Bitch yarn, out of 100% wool.

That is a really neat technique that I had never heard of! I have 12 hours on planes coming up this weekend, and I was really bummed that I can’t take cross-stitch or my quilt squares or anything. This will give me something to do that doesnt involve needles or scissors!
