TO ANYONE WHO GETS TANGLED WHEN DROPPING THE THUMB : In the first step (aka the set-up step), when you make a cross the centre, look carefully which side of the string is on top of the cross. If the LEFT side of the string is on top of the cross, you should use your RIGHT middle finger to proceed the next step. Similarly, if the RIGHT side of the string is on top, you should use your LEFT middle finger to proceed. I basically reminded myself "Never The Same Side" every time I started the hammock. Hope this helps. Happy crafting :)

When i was in fifth grade, string tricks became popular out of nowhere and everyone had one of these wrapped around their wrists like a bracelet at all times so they could do this stuff and i swear this was one of the only tricks i could do

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT SAY THEY CANT DO IT!!!: Watch in the beginning, the crossing of the strings the left one is on top of the right one, you are probably doing the right on top of the left, just by a tiny thing the whole thing ca be wrong, watch carefully what she does and you’ll have it right!! Like if this was helpful and so that other people can see it. Thank you!

This is awesome. I am an organist, so I understand the finger-control. And executing these steps rapidly is a practiced skill. Very cool! I remember doing Cat's Cradle a little bit in my childhood. But these exercises are really useful, and definitely entertaining. I love it!

Thank you so much. Now I am able to play made the" hamoc". Thank you so much for learning this . From 🇮🇳🇮🇳

I'm currently watching all your string trick videos. once it's ingrained in my memory, its a great way to keep my hands busy when i'm watching tv. i'll definitely be showing my nieces and nephews once i'm able to visit.

I LEARNT STRING FIGURES 55 YEARS (!) AGO. TtHE BOOK WRITTEN BY BALL IS MY INSPIRATION. I LEARNT THIS BY SPENDING HOURS TOGETHER AND IMAGINING. OVER THE YEARS THE TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED. HOW REFRESHING IT IS TO SEE VIDEO. KUDOS TO THE SCIENCE. THIS IS A REMARKABLE PAST TIME AND EXRCISE FOR THE HANDS AND MIND =RAMANI 17TH MAR 2015.

Thank you so much this is the first video I watched after my aunt got me a yellow finger string for Valentine's Day very simple and definitely my thing to do

I DID IT!!!!!!!! IM SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY YOU DEFENTLY GOT A NEW SUBSCRIBER!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭🥳🥳🥳🤪🤪🤪

I learned jacobs ladder, star, hammock, witches broom and fisherman's net from you so thank you! Also your cat is extremely cute

This video is great. It was perfect the way you did it sped up at the end so I could try it faster without having to watch the slower tutorial again. Loved doing these as a kid:) Relearned Jacob's Ladder and now I've learned the hammock!!

Your videos are amazing. I watch your videos to improve my English. Your string videos are really helpful with the use of prepositions. Is there anyone else who watches these videos to improve their English?

Thx so much! My friends got so impressed and it was really fun to make!

Hi... great easy video to follow! Thanks. My only question is how do I get it off my hands without it all coming undone? I found your video while searching how to make a fisherman's net bc I need a miniature one for a diaper cake I' m making. So I kind of need the net to stay together off my hands. Any suggestions? Thanks!

it works PERFECTLY for me. it just took a few tries. my friends were amazed!

Twist it other way

It turns out that the direction of the initial twist matters! (Depending on which hand you start the first move with.)

You have so nicely explained that l have done this 1st time only.

My grandma born in 1911 taught me as a child this game. She had a name for each figure (the cradle, the rail, the fish, the mirror, the bed). I could not imagine that it could be know outside of Europe.

this is really fun to do when I'm bored

I can do it. Well last night. I could but now when I drop the thumbs they are like, inside eachother. What am I doing wrong? Edit: Nevermind when you twist the x at the beginning I was twostong it with my right hand when it should be with your left 💙x

I don't get it because every time I let go of my thumb the string still connects and doesn't do what you did
