Finger Knitted Toque

When I showed the neighbor boys how to finger knit, the first thing they asked was what they can make with it.

Off the top of my head I came up with a few suggestions although I had never actually made any of them before.

So to my surprise 3 days later one of them came over with 25 feet of knitted yarn and asked me to help him make it into a hat.

OK so I had to ask like I knew what I was doing and this is what I did.

First I measured the size on his head by wrapping it around.

Then I grabbed a huge needle and threaded some of the yarn and started sewing away, loop and loop.

And half an hour and a few fittings later.....

A very happy little man and his cool new toque.

Now he is going to start a scarf to match.

Pretty neat for a 13 year old boy.

I think I know what I am going to do with some yarn I just bought the other day.

I admit I was surprised but it is actually quite simple and well sewn, will last for a long time.

He says he is going to make these for gifts for his family.

I am proud.
