Accessories Made with Knitting and Crochet (1–10)
Easier than finger knitting! Straw knitting

Let’s try knitting with tools! It’s easier than finger knitting! Here are some ideas for straw knitting.
Many of you may have tried quick and easy finger knitting because it doesn’t require any preparation.
How about leveling up and challenging yourself with straw knitting this time? It’s actually smoother to knit than finger knitting, so it’s highly recommended! You’ll need items like straws, yarn, decorative pom-poms, and glue.
In the video, we make a scrunchie.
Be sure to give it a try!
Snood (crochet)

Let’s try making a snood with crochet! When you hear “crochet,” it might sound difficult, but the stitch pattern is simple and repetitive, so once you learn it, it’s very easy.
Both the yarn and hook are super bulky, so the stitches are large and you can finish quickly.
Since you’ll be working in the round from the start, there’s no need to sew anything together at the end—just keep crocheting and finish by fastening off the yarn.
These days, you can even find cute super bulky yarns at 100-yen shops, so it’s easy to get started!
chain mail bracelet

As the name suggests, here’s a bracelet made with chain stitch that looks like a chain.
It’s created by threading your favorite beads onto lace thread and connecting them with chain stitches using a crochet hook.
The steps are simple, so even lower elementary school children can make it.
Focus, and skillfully move your hands and fingers.
The chain stitch is a fundamental crochet technique.
This project is perfect for kids who want to start learning to crochet.
Wearing the finished bracelet on your wrist will make it even more satisfying.
Scarf (finger knitting)

Let’s try knitting a scarf with finger knitting that even small children can do easily! Thread the yarn alternately between the fingers of one hand, then wrap the yarn around and lift it over your fingers—before you know it, a scarf will form along the back of your hand.
These days, 100-yen shops carry lots of cute yarns, including soft textures that seem perfect for spring, so you’ll want to knit not just in winter.
If you have a bit of yarn left over, you can also knit a scarf for your favorite doll or stuffed animal.
Needle-felted wool cats

How about making a cute egg-shaped cat out of needle-felted wool? Needle felting can seem overwhelming because there are so many possibilities and it’s hard to know where to start, but the basics are simple: you just keep stabbing the wool with a needle to compact it firmly.
If your stabbing is too light, it will unravel and fall apart later, so be sure to felt it thoroughly.
Shape it, then add the nose and eyes using wool in different colors.
Once you get used to it, the repetitive needle work becomes fun—but be careful not to poke your fingers, because it hurts!
