Get Knitting! Bracelets and Scarves with Juliet Bernard

First make a colourful friendship bracelet, by knitting on just one finger. Then try knitting a scarf with all the fingers on one hand. 

You’ll probably reach for some knitting needles next! 

Share your finger knitting creations on Facebook and Instagram #KnittingFriends, we would love to see them.

You will need:

• Wool and recycled materials such as colourful plastic bags, lengths of ribbon and cord - all in different colours if possible
• Beads, feathers and other decorations, again recycled bits and bobs are great...
• Scissors
• A ruler or tape measure
• A blunt needle
