Stitch ‘n Kids: finger crochet
Do you remember doing finger crochet as a child? I recall a little boy in my class, he must have been around 7 or 8 years old, and he had made a string of finger crochet so long it could wrap around the classroom twice! I recently taught my daughter Sara and some of her girlfriends to finger-crochet, and it has started a real crocheting-mania! The girls love it, and I’ve seen all the mums walk around with finger-crochet bracelets made by their daughters! Cute.
Finger crocheting is really easy, and a six-year-old child should be able to do it. My nearly-five-year-old son Pim was still a bit clumsy and didn’t really have the patience to learn. But he made an effort (and is very proud of his little bracelet)!

Love it!!! My six year old daughter is also very busy with finger crocheting…and very proud of it ;o)
Brilliant idea! I’m going to try it with Lily.
this is how my daughter learned it at school when she was 4: frog sits on the log, snake jumps over the log, frog jumps over the snake, pull both tails!
Oh I used to spend hours on finger crochet! I was about to take up knitting as a new hobby, but I think I’ll just go old school and get back to the finger crochet. Thanks for the reminder!
I totally forgot about finger crochet! Great idea
