How to knit a nupp

In this DROPS video we show two ways to knit nupps, with both versions make sure to make really loose loops!
If you are doing lace knitting, you may have come across nupps. Nupps originates from Estonian knitting, and adds pretty texture. Nupps are like bobbles, and reminds of flower buds.
Knit a nupp by knit and make a yarn over a number of times into the same stitch, end with a knit stitch. Usually end when you have knitted 5, 7 or 9 loops, depending on how big you want the nupp to be. Put all loops back on LH needle and knit all loops into 1 stitch. Tighten yarn and keep on knitting.
Or you can use a crochet hook to do the same thing. *Go through stitch, get yarn, make a yo on hook, repeat from * and end with going through stitch and getting the yarn, Then make a yo and pull yarn through all loops on hook = 1 stitch. Put this stitch back on RH needle, tighten and keep knitting.

Love the crochet hook technique. Thank you

I thought the nupp was created on the knit side and closed it on the purl side. This is an interesting variation. Using the crochet hook is also something I would not have thought of doing.
