This is how it works:

Set up

First prepare all the parts. Cover, addiEi, crank, weight and needle as well as twisted yarn (e.g. 6-ply sock wool) in gauge 3-5.

Simply place the crank firmly on the turntable
pin on.

 

 

Now pass the thread through the hole in the
Thread the thread guide. Whoever has problems here
If you have a needle, you can use it to help you. Pass the thread through the large hole in the middle so that it hangs out of the bottom of the addiEi.

Now knot a loop at the bottom and tie the
Hook in weight.

Now pull out the thread at the top so that a loop is formed between the hole in the middle and the thread guide. Make sure that the weight does not fall out of the loop at the bottom.

Take out the weight to transfer
and hook into 2 stitches next to each other so that there is no pulling thread here.

 

If the cord is long enough, the thread
simply cut it off. The end of the thread should have a remaining length of about 15 cm for sewing.

Now pull the thread from the inside through the thread guide with a darning needle and thus take it out of the thread guide.

Place the end thread to the back so that it can no longer be gripped by any hook. Now turn the crank until all the stitches are
fallen off the hooks and the pins

Now carefully remove the cord from the bottom of the
addiEi out, making sure that the end thread does not get caught anywhere.

Story
Chunky knit with hands

In so-called arm knitting or finger crochet, you don't need knitting needles or crochet hooks, but - as the name suggests - only your hands or arms. The special thing about it is the very thick knitted tube that is made into handbags or cushions and lanterns with your fingers. Anita Freitag-Meyer, the founder of the label "Nitiknitti", tells you more.
