French Knitting

Step-by-step instructions for French knitting


Posted: 18 April 2010
by Suzanne Milne

1. Take a wooden (preferably) cotton reel and hammer four nails into the top so that the nails are protruding fully.

2. Thread some wool through the middle of the reel.

3. Wind the wool once around each nail so that each nail has a ‘loop’ around it.

4. Wind the wool once around the outside of all four nails.

5. Using a knitting needle, flip the loop from each nail over the nail and over the wool that was wound around all four nails.

6. Go in the same direction – clockwise or anti-clockwise.

7. Repeat… ad infinitum
