Knit Frog Hack
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 бер 2023
- The fabulous frog pattern by @clairegarland8398 has a few things I don't love to do: weaving in lots of ends in a small area & i-cords! So after some tweaking, I've figured out a way to reduce the ends I need to sew in AND avoided i-cording!
First I knit the arm/leg flat. So if it says K1, k2tog, and I'm on a purl side, I'll do it in purl instead.
Second, I used one long thread at the end of the first toe to sew closed the toes AND the leg seam. This entire process takes me about 10 min per leg, and I only have to weave in two ends.
What do you think? Will you try this out? Will it cut down on your frustration with weaving in too many ends?

You just saved me a couple of hours of having to weave in the ends!!! this is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Glad I could help! ❤
Thank you so much! As a fellow i-cord hater, I appreciate this. 😂
Absolutely brilliant! Just made my first frog and the toes made me crazy!!! Love this!! Will try this on my next one!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this video. I am a seasoned knitter and making my first frog, the legs are making me crazy, this looks much easier than icord!
The legs drove me insane! I'm so glad you found this helpful!
Brilliant! Thank you! 🐸
you're brilliant and generous for sharing. I am on my third frog with your leg method now. thank you.
Omg, this makes me so happy!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Good job mommy!! 🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks kiddo!
This is great, thank you! I have been procrastinating on finishing the feet on a frog and toad pair for a couple of months now because I really don’t like the weaving in - can’t wait to finish them now!
I also hate weaving in! I'm glad this is working out for you!
Love it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Now I need to make a frog. 🙃
😂😂 that's the part that takes me a while too! The starting!
I have been bothered by so many loose ends when knitting the toes and was trying to figure out a way to avoid it. Your method is perfect and used it today to knit the frog toes with i-cord legs and arms. Thank you, it came out very nice.
Glad it was helpful! I hate weaving in those ends - they make the hand so bulky!
thank you so much for sharing this hack! i was shaping the toes in a similar way with a needle during bind off. I just followed your video and it's genius!
You're so welcome! And thank you! ❤
I'll give this a go, thank you!
Have you any secret on how to make these guys stand up? I tried looping the wire in the feet to make a bigger footprint but nothing is working.😮
I recommend some wire, but you will need to put the wire through the whole thing, like a pose-able doll.
Thank you. I'm trying that with the guy I'm working on now. One leg done . . .
Gracias 🙏!!! Me volvía loca con tantas hebras!! Este método es genial 🎉❤❤❤
Excelente!
Excelente idea, pero tengo la duda si funcionaria igual si uso limpiapipas O_o habrá que intentar!
Gracias por compartir >∆< ❤
If you use a soft wire instead of a pipe cleaner, it should fit in the arm to make it pose-able!
Do you have a video where you don't speed through the toes? Lol I'm a newbie and would love to see this done in slow motion😊
Just slow the video down..... She doesn't skip anything just does it sped up .... Tap on the screen and somewhere you'll see the settings gear symbol..... It'll pop up a list, tap playback speed..... You'll want to click one of the decimals that start with (0.) Example.... 0.25..... that's quarters speed will slow it down enough to see bettwr
@@bugaboo1625 amazing!! Thank you so much!! Learn something new every day!
