How to... tejer sin agujas

Con ayuda de los brazos, manos y dedos se pueden tejer largas tiras en muy poco tiempo. Son técnicas que se aprenden fácilmente y son ideales para que los niños se animen a tejer.
Es recomendable utilizar un hilo muy grueso o varios hilos juntos a la vez (prueba a mezclar colores y te sorprenderás con los resultados). Mejor si son hilos que pesen poco, para no cargar las cervicales (que no sé vosotros pero yo las tengo regulín).
Los resultados pueden ser cómo estos (copio imágenes de aquí y de allí)


   


Arm knitting

Cómo tejer con ayuda del brazo. Selecciono dos vídeos de Youtube que lo explican paso a paso. Al final puedes obtener una bufanda o un cuello largo, de esos que dan dos vueltas que ahora están tan de moda.





Finger knitting

Otro vídeo en inglés de Youtube:



A mi me parece también estupendo este fototutorial de http://www.flaxandtwine.com/ que explica muy bien los primeros pasos. Copio las imágenes y el texto de ese blog.
Start by placing the yarn in between your thumb and hand, such that the tail hangs behind your hand.

Pick up the yarn that goes to the ball, leaving the tail in between your thumb and hand. Bring the yarn behind your middle finger and over your ring finger.

Now, bring the yarn around your pinky, behind your ring finger and over your middle finger.

Next, bring the yarn around your index finger.


Now, we're going to head back again. Bring the yarn behind your middle finger and over your ring finger.


Then, around your pinky, behind your ring finger, over your middle finger.


Starting with your pinky finger, bring the lower loop on your finger over the upper loop and over your finger.


Continue this process on each finger, bringing the lower loop over the upper loop and over your finger.  Bring the tail in between your index finger and your middle finger.  This is your home base. Now, repeat.


Wrap the yarn around your index finger.


Proceed to repeat the over and under until you have two loops on each finger.


Pull the lower loops over all the upper loops and over the finger, starting at the pinky.


You end up back at home base and you just keep repeating.

This is how the back looks.


 This is how the opposite side of the finger knitting looks.


To finish, cut the yarn and bring the end through each of the loops.  If your child wants a break at any point, bring a pencil or pen through the loops in this same way and set aside.  Then, easily place the loops back on the fingers when you want to continue.


Take the loops off your fingers and pull tightly.


Voila - there's your finger knitting chain.
