What is the little finger hold?
Start by trying the little nger method...
Start by making a slipknot on the hook, then hold the hook in your dominant hand (your right hand if you’re right-handed). In your other hand (your left hand if you’re right-handed), you’re going to hold the yarn. In order to control the yarn, you need to have a consistent tension – the easiest way to do this is to weave the yarn in and out of specific fingers of your hand.
Step 1 Have your palm facing you and loop the working yarn over your little finger, so the two ends hang down and the slipknot is at the back. Then take the slipknot end upwards in front of the little finger, ring finger and second finger. Take it behind your index finger and loop it over the top of this finger. Your hand should look like 01 .
Step 2 Turn your hand over – 02 is how it will look on the other side. Step 3 Turn your hand back to where it was, with your palm facing you. Use your thumb and second finger to hold on to the tail end of the yarn, ready to make your first stitches. Hold the hook in your dominant hand, at the grip. When you work the stitches, you’ll use your fingers to feed yarn into the working area – with this hold, you’ll bring the yarn up from your little finger and around your index finger towards the hook. The area of yarn between your hook and index finger is the working area – you need to make sure this section is neither too short nor too long (around 2-4cm is good), but just right for you to be able to hold a consistent tension on the yarn.
