If you do this with your fingers, you can shape it beautifully. Today, I made a finger-knit dumpling bag using the giant yarn from Daiso. It's cuter, cozier, and much lighter than I expected. I think it will be easier and cuter to carry than the usual giant yarn. I hope this video with me today was very helpful. Thank you!

So, when I started, I made the loop size three fingers wide for the first and second rounds. Overall, the piece has grown larger now. From this point on, the piece won't get any bigger, so if we continue working with the same number of stitches, we need to start shaping it upwards. Keeping that shape in mind, we will try to connect it. You can start from the first stitch here. To prevent the piece from stretching, the last stitch you made should be close to the next stitch you are about to make. If they are close together, the gap won't widen. So, hold this and then work on the first stitch of the third round. After that, you can continue with the two stitches we discussed earlier.

Insert three fingers to adjust the length, and then find the stitch to insert your fingers again. Using the same method, bring the yarn out. Insert your fingers to align the stitches, and then for the third stitch, do the same by inserting and pulling it out. Continue this process one stitch at a time until you have a total of 12 stitches. I've completed up to the 12th stitch now. Before moving on to the next row, let me align the stitches. To align the stitches, hold two stitches together and pull gently. This helps to make the stitches uniform in size and also aligns the stitches from the previous row. By grouping two stitches, you can shape them nicely. Now, I've completed the second row, and it’s time to start the third row. When we began, we inserted our fingers to create a loop.

Since we are continuously turning and making it, the position might get a bit confusing. If you follow along, this is the first stitch. Please confirm this. Now, we will work on the seventh row. The seventh row needs to be finished right after we complete it. We have created some space with about three fingers' width between the loops. Now, we will reduce that space to about two fingers, making it a bit tighter for our work. You should work on the seventh row just a little bit. If you leave too much space, it might come loose while working. However, you don't need to worry too much because it's easy to pick it back up and insert it again. So, just make sure to leave a little space. Now that we've finished up to the last stitch, we need to pull the yarn to find the end. Since we worked with two strands...

If you put it in, it's a bit longer now. So, instead of pulling two stitches at once, you adjust them one by one to make the shape of the stitches uniform. Right now, I have one and two stitches, and I've used my finger to create them. Next, let’s make another one here. If you insert the yarn and bring it up from around here, the size of the stitches you just made will decrease. So, you should hold the yarn slightly behind rather than right in front to ensure the stitches don't shrink and are stable. Now, by inserting your finger, you can adjust the stitches like this. We’ve made one, two, and three stitches. You can consider this loop as a stitch. Next, here on top, insert your finger and similarly pull the yarn slightly down to bring it out like this.

If you want to make it, you can start by creating six of them. Calculate it this way to start with the desired size. Now, here, based on this loop, if you touch the sixth stitch after passing the seventh stitch, you'll find a spot for your finger to go in above. This is a stitch made from a chain. If you look closely, it’s made in a chain shape like this, one here and one there. We will create a stitch in the same way at the top of this chain stitch. The method is the same. Let me show you. Insert your finger here and position the yarn behind. Hold it and pull it out. Make sure the first loop you created doesn’t come undone, and do the same with the second loop. Now, from here, you should hold it so that about three fingers can fit in. Similarly, the stitch we just made can also fit your fingers.

You need to find the end of the yarn. So, if you take one strand from the outside and one from the inside, it will make two layers. Now, holding these two strands, we will create a bag with two lines. The sample I made has a total of 12 stitches and is designed with 7 rows in height. If you want to make the bag a little smaller, you can reduce the number of stitches and rows. This size is based on my hand tension, and I used up all the yarn, so it will be difficult to make it larger. I hope you keep that in mind. Let's do it again. Now, with these two strands of yarn, we will start by making a foundation chain. First, we will wrap the yarn to create a knot. Hold the yarn a little loose and wrap it like this, and then pass it through the loop here.

If you find it uncomfortable, you can loosen the yarn a bit to widen the entrance here. Since we attached the yarn at the beginning, we can now confirm where the last stitch is. We are going to create the cord right away. When you fold it, you need to start from the first stitch so that the cord aligns perfectly at the fold. Now, with the yarn inserted at the last stitch, we are currently connected to the first stitch. Don't worry about that; just pull out the stitch and make a loop with it. I will be using the yarn precisely, so I will create the remaining cord with a length of 15. You can make the cord to your desired length as you knit. The method is the same: insert your finger into the loop and pull it out. Since this is a cord, let's make it a bit tighter than the base fabric to ensure it is firm.

Now, next, put your fingers here and bring the yarn. So, then, in this way, we're going to make one, two, three, four, five, six, twelve stitches, but I've already done half of them, which is six stitches. Now, for the seventh stitch, we have placed a ring on the second chain stitch we made at the beginning. You can insert your finger into the spot where the ring is hanging and wrap the yarn around it to pull it out. After completing the seventh stitch, you can turn the work and create one stitch at the position that is symmetrical to the previously made stitches. Now, for the seventh stitch, you need to create one stitch directly across from the sixth stitch. If you follow along, you will find a stitch below where you can also insert your finger. Use the same method to insert your finger and bring the yarn.

Now, I've tied it up like this, and from now on, I will create the basic knot. Again, with the loop in this state, always insert your two index fingers from the front towards the inside. After that, if the thread we are using is behind like this, you can pass it through. At this point, if you keep pulling this, the loop will keep loosening. You need to adjust how much you pull based on the size that fits with your two fingers. Just like when we started, we inserted our two fingers and adjusted the size. Similarly, by inserting two fingers and pulling out, a loop like this has been created. Now, again, insert your fingers from the front, grab the thread at the back, and pull it out. Insert and pull out again. Now, if you look at it, we've done this one, two, three times.

So, many people also make patterns like this. For those who want to inquire about this side like me, you can flip it over and tidy up the thread from the inside. Conversely, for those who will carry the bag on this side, you can tidy up the thread from the outside, so there's no need to flip it. Right now, there’s a starting thread here, right? Let’s check that. The thread has ended here. I will connect it by going down like this. I will insert one thread into these protruding parts and pull it all the way to here. In this way, I will pull the thread to the desired position. After that, you need to tie this thread and that thread together. I will tie it tightly. Now that I have tied it, I will flip the fabric back to the original front side. If you hold it with your hands, the shape will quickly look nice. Since it's finger knitting, the alignment is the same.

At the beginning, I made this and marked it with a ring. I did this once, twice, and three times. I will do a total of seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, and now seven. At the end, I will also mark the seventh ring a little. Likewise, I will tie it lightly with the cut thread. Now, this ring that looks like this will be considered as one stitch from now on. This itself means that the first stitch of the first round has been created. Since the first stitch has been created, I will put my finger in front and create a total of 12 stitches by working through the first round. The number of stitches doubles from the starting stitches. So, we counted one, two, three, four, five, six, seven times. If we consider the seventh as the first stitch created, then counting up to this point gives us six. Therefore, six multiplied by two results in 12 stitches. That's why we have ten stitches.

There is a little issue because one stitch is missing on the seventh row. In this case, you can just grab the missing stitch and pull it out to create a loop again. It’s easy to fix even if a stitch is lost, so you don’t have to worry too much. Now, I have connected all the stitches up to the last one. Next, I will shape it nicely with my hands. Since it’s hand-crocheted, the size of the stitches can be a bit uneven, so I will adjust those areas as I refine the surface. 

Now, this part here is the opening. For the last row, we made the stitches a bit shorter, so the opening is a little narrower. You should check if it’s easy to put your hand in and to store other items like your phone or other belongings. Please take a moment to verify this. If it feels too narrow for use, you may need to make adjustments.

Next, we have it here. You insert your finger, take the yarn, and align it. Then, you insert the needle and bring the yarn over like this. After that, you insert your finger and take the yarn like this. Now, once you reach this point, you will have completed a total of 12 stitches, counting from the beginning: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve. Here, the place where the ring is placed is the first stitch of the first round. Now, we will immediately create another loop, as this spot is the first stitch. So, we are making the stitches for the second round. I have made 12 stitches, and now let's try to work on the second round. Currently, I am in the state of having just made the 12th stitch, so the yarn is attached. You can continue from here. This is the spot for the first stitch. Now, you see this stitch is shaped like this; it has two layers. So, you will insert your finger through both layers and pull it out in the same way.

At the end, you will connect it like this. Now, holding the end part, this is the last stitch. Then, this will become the first stitch again. Here, we will insert the silk thread into the loop. The direction is from back to front, like this. If you do it this way, it will prevent the stitches from unraveling. We will insert the thread into each stitch one by one to secure it. After that, we will shape it again at the end, but in between, we will check the shape once in a while. Since this is a dumpling bag, to make the top gather a bit, we pulled the last round slightly. Keep this shape in mind while organizing the thread at the top. You can adjust the spacing a little by touching it with your hands. Just like before, it could come undone here as well.

By doing this, I created about 18 stitches. Although there are quite a few stitches, they are made tightly, so the strap isn't too long. Surprisingly, there is a little bit of yarn left at the end. Now, after finishing the last stitch, I will make the last stitch here and widen the loop a bit. I started at the position of the first stitch, and I will find the corresponding position that is symmetrical to this one. When there is a stitch like this, I will put my finger all the way in here. I inserted the loop I had set aside into the inside. After that, I will take the end of the yarn and put it through the loop that came out, which will create a knot here. It gets tied very tightly. After connecting to the opposite side like this, I will now turn the bag inside out and finish off the yarn a bit. The bag is turned completely inside out, and the pattern on the inside is really cute, right?

Hello, this is Jayruz Workshop. A giant yarn has been released at Daiso, and I’m planning to make a cute dumpling bag using finger knitting. Actually, this is a thick yarn that has a soft, plush feel. You can work with a thick crochet hook or knitting needles using a single strand, and of course, it’s also suitable for finger knitting. Today, I want to create a fuller look, so I will be using two strands. First, let’s separate the yarn. 

You need to find two strands of yarn. Now, locate one end of the yarn from the outside, and you need to find the other end from the inside. You might need to put your finger inside, and sometimes the end might not come out right away. If you're lucky, the yarn will come out quickly, but if you're not, it might come out in a bigger clump. In that case, you can unravel it.

This hole should be made so that three fingers can fit in uniformly. However, make sure that the thread hanging between the holes does not become loose. You need to pay attention to shaping it a bit more. Now, let's move on to the next step. We just worked on this hole, and now we have an entrance here. On the screen, these two holes appear to be far apart. We need to create the feeling that they are close together. First, shape this hole, and after shaping it, align these two holes properly. Be careful not to let the gap between them widen. As you practice, you'll get a sense of how to keep them close. Then, hold this part and notice that the thread hanging here is currently long. Think of it as aligning it sequentially. The length between these two holes has now shortened. Next, if there's still a gap, hold the surface and notice that it is currently long.

When you pass the thread through, if you pull all of it out, it just becomes a knot. So, instead of pulling it all out, try to insert your fingers between the strands of thread that are currently being pulled out. Just pull it out enough for about two fingers to fit in. Now, when you look at it from the front, we have created a loop. We will refer to this as a knot chain. You can tighten this part a little bit. So, we have created the knot chain, and after making the knot chain, I have brought the thread here to the loop. You can use a pin or another tool you have to mark it. The thread here has a bit of a wing-like appearance, so the stitches may not be very visible, and since there are two layers, it can be confusing. Therefore, I will mark the stitches a bit. I will tie it to the loop that I have touched to mark it.

If you want, you can sequentially pull out the threads to arrange them. As long as you fit them properly into the loop, the shape will be completed. However, I will explain some detailed tips to make the shape look a bit prettier. So, if you find it a bit difficult, you can attach them to the loop one by one in order. This is a method to make it look nicer, so please keep that in mind. Also, there’s an advantage to using this kind of surface thread; even if you don't do it perfectly, it doesn’t show much. So, don’t worry and feel free to work on it. Now, we have completed the third row. From now on, I will continue in the same way up to the sixth row. Since we have completed three rows, I will knit three more rows to reach the sixth row. Now, I have made it up to the sixth row, and here is the thread marked with chocolate.
