What Did You Call This Craft Growing Up?
We had no idea so many people had fond memories of spool knitting as children. Spool knitting is a great way to add decorative flair to a larger project or add strength to a length of paracord. Make decorative cords, pull strings or jewelry with this simple technique. Bonus: It's quick release! Also known as strickliesel, corking, punniken, tomboy knitting, French knitting, knitting Nancy, or "Dolly down the reel."

We were taught this as kids about 70 years ago. We knew it as French knitting and used wooden cotton reels with 4 panel pins hammered in and spare knitting wool. A long length of the finished knit could be coiled and stitched to form a mat for, say, a vase or more ambitiously, a hat or tea cosy.
From NZ. Mum taught this to me in about 1968. She called it French knitting.
Making that loom from old wooden bobbins was old when your great-great grandmother was a child. I was taught this during winter days to cold to comfortably be outside. Nice to see old crafts finding a use with modern materials.

That's awesome! Thank you for sharing.
The spool works really well.
If you are working off the reel, you can split the cotter pin and put the working blight in it and it will secure it, then just squeeze the cotter pin and insert into hole. Then you don’t have to cut it off the main reel or spool. Also the hook that comes with the larger loom works nicely to work the loops instead of the spike
My grandad made me one of these years ago from a wooden thread spool with 4 panel pin nails in the top, too small for paracord but I had a lot of fun with my nan making shoestring-like cordage from yarn.

Exactly what I had in Massachusetts. 1960
I knew it as corking, my children made miles of it and made circular rugs for the side of their beds, it filled their spare time in the winter months
We had nails set into the end of a sewing thread spool and used thread and a thread crochet hook to move everything around. I don't remember what we did with the 'snakes' we made. They must have had the diameter of string.
A cotter pin can be opened up to allow the cord to pass through it before inserting it into the bottom. So you can use this same trick even with a spool
Thank you very much for showing me how to do this my mom showed me how to do this when I was a little kid but I forgot how to do it so thank you thank you thank you
YES! Make the hat.
I even found one of those as a buoy holder for a ship.
Just amazing
Your little mod where you use an anchor pin: Feed the chord through that *before* you start knitting _a la francaise_ then you could work off a spool.

Very cool!
That is a GREAT way to "store" paracord!!!!!! I had a job in the military wherein we always had lots of paracord on hand. Everyone usually daisy-chained it, but it's not very space saving, and usually gets very kinky and twisted when releasing it to use. I'll have to tell all my intructor buddies to pass this on to the padawans. Thanks so much!!!!!!!!
As a child we called it a knitting nancy.
Show de bola parabéns.
a paracord hat? absolutely!
Cool. Thanks.
3:56 If you have that extra pin down there when you start, and begin by pulling the first end through, I bet you can use this trick while pulling from a spool.

or just split the cotterpin to insert the cord in its eye
The cotter pin is split so you should be able to use it on the bottom even with a spool of cord.
It can hold it with a ball as well if you thread it through before starting

Hope u have enough folks asking for the nxt video to be paracord or yarn hat.

Woww very Nice 👍🇲🇦
I made my own kitting spools out of old prescription bottles that have those easy removable caps on them... the kind that are not child proof, they just pop on and off... one bottle with different caps... each cap has a preset amount of holes on it ... so if I want a 3 string cord, I use the 3 hole cap... 4 hole, 5, 6, & 8.... you get the idea... I used my wood burner tool to melt the small holes needed to insert the little pins ... I then cut the bottom of the prescription bottle completely off and created 2 small notches on the bottom to hold the 2 cords in place when I would need to do the "knitting" step of the process... when you don't have a lot of extra money to spend on neat little jigs, you get creative and make your own!!! :) I’ve also made my own bracelet/collar/belt/key fob jig as well as an adjustable monkey fist jig that can hold up to a magic 8 ball !!! Yes, I made a monkey fist with a magic 8 ball... why? Because I had one laying around and wanted to see if it could be done.... unless you have a tone of unwanted Paracord, i do not recommend it lol....

Loom knitting!
Mount the cylinder to a stable stand at a comfortable working height, and add a weight to the end of the cord that passes through the cylinder to keep tension on it instead of constantly pulling on it. This way, you can keep both hands free to weave, rather than having to hold\manipulate\secure the fixture. If your weight can be clamped onto the cord (I'm thinking a potato chip bag fridge magnet clamp with extra weight superglued to it), then it can easily be moved up the finished cord as it accumulates upon the floor below. The fixture & method in the video is great but too much time & effort is wasted in holding the fixture & manipulating the cord. EDIT: For a heavy stable stand, I recommend using either a vocal microphone stand or a dirt tamper tool & use 2 hose clamps to attach the weaving cylinder to the stand. Just a thought....
04:00+ a coder pin still works for a spool of infinite length; pry the pins apart and set the rope in the eye, release, and place coder pin in spool hole. I would recommend putting some captions to your forgetfulness.
when I was in the Navy the boatswain mate's used shot cord, like paracord and they made boatswain knife sheath's. I was wondering was this the same way with more pins or was it done completely different. would like to see a video on that, I can not find anything any where. Also larger one with heavy rope could make a boat's bumper. Thanks for all your videos

Yes, that's a good idea.
i like it
I use a small piece of pvc pipe, cotter pins, and duck tape. Cheap and flexible.
I personally use just 2 pins for paracord and 3 for thinner cord. I'll make a 6 inch braid and connect the ends and use the cobra with the tag ends for a keychain. Kind of hard to explain.
Gals do this sort of thing too.
Just use a binder clip on the bottom to hold the working end when you need a break.
No entendí tu idioma, pero, aprendí la técnica, gracias, cuidate, ✌️👍
Re: That lower pin for holding the cord in place If you were using a spool of cord, couldn't you very carefully open the pin just enough to slip over the cord? I've never worked with cotter pins. Would spreading one like that ruin it?

Does the size of the spool affect the size of the rope you make? If you use a medium spool would the rope be smaller in diameter? Or is it more determined by the cord size?
@peterschets1380

No, it's the cord size. What you can do, is a larger spool with more pins. The problem is weight, after the beginning it becomes heavier and heavier.

3:30-4:10 this will work if coming off of a spool or a really long length. You just have to put the pin in place first, and feed the starting in through before you begin looping to weave. Or, if using a split pin, like the cotter pin, just slip it over the cord. If this spreads the pins apart a little bit, that’s fine as you’re about to put in a drilled hole and the tension will help keep it from slipping.
In Germany it calls "Strickliesel". 🙂

French Knitting
Very similar to the "finger knitting" they taught us in cub scouts back in the early/mid 80's.
... the problem with this (known in UK as French knitting) is that if the cord wears through anywhere on a finished article, the whole thing will unravel ... ... much better to braid using kumihimo
Yes , hat
We calld it 'boondoggling'
Como se chama esse tipo de gabarito?
I think my mum called it catty taily. Scotland
We called it a cat tail when I was a kid
In Dutch this is called: punnikken
When I was a kid (80s) we called this finger weaving.... We didn't use any jig.
