Knitting with the French Knitter Tool
Instructions
Set Up: Using the cord of your choice still on the spool, thread beads onto the cord. While holding the beads back, pass the straight end of cord down through the top of the tool leaving a 6-inch tail out the bottom. Set tool down on a flat work surface, holding the tail secure to keep tension on the cord.
Tip: Leaving cord attached to spool allows you the length needed without having to knot sections together.
