How to tie a beautiful scarf without needles

If you've never heard of knitting with your hands, then absolutely in vain. This is a surprisingly simple way that allows you to tie a beautiful scarf without needles, ideal for cold weather, when you want comfort. The main thing is that you only need your own hands and a thick woolen thread.

Even if you have never knit before, it will not be a problem. The guide will help you understand every necessary step and perfectly handle the task. Such needlework helps not only to interestingly spend time, but also to create a beautiful accessory for yourself or as a gift. So, we will deal with this fascinating process in detail!

Preparation for the process

First of all, it's worth to figure out what your scarf will be from. You can not make it out of any wool, you need thick threads, suitable for knitting with your hands. It can be like natural wool or alpaca, and a mixture with acrylic, it all depends on your own desire. The same applies to the color, and type of thread - choose to your taste. Only thickness is important. So, if you want to make a scarf that is one and a half meters long and thirty centimeters wide, you will need three coats of wool.

First step

So, you need to make the first loop. Take all three coils at once - they should be about one hundred meters in length, and rewind the same number of threads that you will work with now. Hold the three strands as if it were one whole. Make sure that each tangle is easily unwound during operation. Wrap about one and a half meters of wool and make a loop so that the direction of the upper thread goes to the tangles. Make a sliding knot by stretching the thread through the loop and place the resulting loop on the right hand, placing it so that the thread leading to the ball is coming from you, and the one and a half meter tail is closer to you.

Second step

Begin a set of loops on the arm. If you are familiar with conventional knitting, you will easily understand the principle - just instead of two knitting needles you will use your own hand. Make a loop from the half-meter-long tail of the thread so that the tip hangs in front of it, and does not pass under it. Insert the left hand into the loop, and hold it with the right hand. Grab the working thread leading to the tangle, and pull it into the loop. You already almost got a new knot, and you can let the end of the thread go!

Third step

To add a new loop to your hand, you just need to thread your right hand into it and tighten both threads so that the coat fits your wrist well. Do not squeeze too much, you will not only be uncomfortable to work, but in general it is more difficult to knit - the loops will be too tight. Straighten a new loop on the hand, repeat the process. Add the hinges until the width of the scarf is the one you wanted to make. For example, for a scarf specified at the beginning of the instruction width you will need to collect ten large loops.

The most difficult thing behind!

After you have typed the hinges into your hand, the easiest part of the work remains for you! You will need to move the first loop to the other wrist and simply pull the working thread through the other loops, placing the resulting new loops on the left hand. When the series is finished, you need to move in the reverse order. Everything is absolutely identical to the usual knitting, just your hands are used instead of the spokes. When you master the technique well, you can even try to make patterns. Continue repeating the loops, moving them from one hand to the other until you get the scarf of the desired length. Complete the last row, passing the first loop through two adjacent ones and repeating this operation to the very end, and then fasten the thread in a convenient way. Your beautiful scarf, knitted without the help of knitting needles, is already ready. He will delight you on cold autumn evenings or become a wonderful gift!
