Holding yarn

Like with a crochet hook, you can hold yarn in different ways.

The idea is to find the way that is most comfortable for you. The following instruction is just an example.

How to hold yarn

  1. Loop the yarn through the fingers of your non-dominant hand.

  2. Pass the yarn over the pinkie, under the third and middle fingers, and over your index finger.

  3. To create more tension on the yarn, loop the yarn once around the pinkie before passing it under the third and middle fingers and over the index finger.
