When I go to print the pattern, there's a p2 that says "How to finger crochet" Where is that?

I really wanted to be able to do this, but unfortunately it is not for me. My fingers would just not cooperate with me enough to make it work. It is a great project, and would be an excellent addition to an art curriculum in schools. It just isnt great for people with fine motor difficulties.

Who would have thought that finger crochet could be so beautiful? I certainly had no idea but now, having seen this, it is something that I am absolutely DRIVEN to make! And using the recommended bulky yarn means it is going to wonderfully cozy and warm in winter. I can not wait to get started and my teenage daughter is now quite fascinated by this too so it seems we each be making one at the same time which is going to be lovely!

I will definitely be trying this! I'm an experienced arm knitter, but I've never tried finger crocheting. Love it.
