well, I just finished my blanket. I LOVE it, made it for my daughter in law. I did have some problems, I took it apart 3 times, but the finished product is beautiful!!! I love your tutorial!
I made my first arm blanket. This video made it possible. THANK YOU! Being thick headed, for the life of me I cannot figure out the final knots. I just winged it but they are totally wrong. But I am happy with the blanket. On to the next one!
Thank you so much for simplifying the arm knitting process and for sharing your skills in this video. Viewers will have a fun project and cute snuggle blanket thanks to your help. I want to recommend a review of what a "square knot" actually is. Although you called it a "square knot" in this video, the knot you demonstrated in this video is most commonly known as a "granny knot." Because of its spiraling nature, a granny knot has much less holding strength than an actual square knot does. For a knot to truly be a square knot, the crossing and tucking under of tail ends has to be from opposite sides of the knot each time. (First cross the RIGHT tail end behind and tuck it through, next cross LEFT tail end behind and tuck it through, and repeat as often as desired... right then left.) The granny knot you demonstrated crosses behind and tucks under from only the right hand all three times. I mean no sassy malice. I just know how disappointing it is to have a project unravel because the granny knot slipped out--as it is well known to do--and don't want your viewers to experience that same disappointment.
So well explained and lovely blanket😍... please show us the end finished blanket more onto something so we have an idea about size, how it looks etc. Thanks
I enjoyed both videos. I didn't know how to knit when I watched your 1st video years ago. So i didn't understand what was going on. Now I can knit . So I looked you up again and i found the yarn on sale. So I am doing it this time. Thank you.
I've seen these done by hand knitting on a table but this is the first time I've seen arm knitting. Thanks so much for doing a tutorial on it because it's a lot easier for me to knit a blanket this way as I don't have table space for the other way! :)
This was an awesome tutorial! So easy to follow! The width of the blanket came out a little narrow for me. About 3 ft wide. Maybe 24 cast on stitches would have been better, although you are definitely limited by arm space!
I've never knitted before let alone arm knit! I'm too excited to have my OWN blanket that I MADE thanks for the tutorial you gave me something positive to turn to
I love this! I have always seen the end product that my grandmother did but didn't stay around as a kid to learn. Now I am making me a she-shed/room and this is going to be my next project for decor!! I would love to learn how to do a design in the blanket. I love elephants.
Thanks so much for sharing! I've never done anything like this, but you made it so easy to follow, I was able to make a wonderful gift for my mother during a year that makes it much appreciated.
Great tutorial!! I just made one for myself, and its so quick and easy!!! although since chunky yarn is so expensive i just bought some worsted weight yarn (i think i used like 11 skeins, which is like $30-40) and i finger knitted the yarn first to make it chunkier. plus i made my blanket bigger too lol but this was really easy to follow! i'll def be doing it again >3
I'm new to your videos and I love them. Could you please include the approximate pricing on the yard per project so we will know if we are getting a good deal on our purchase or overpaying. I priced out the yard for the hand crochet blanket and the 12 skeins was about $72.00. Thank you!!
This was super helpful thank you. I’ve never done this before so will be back when the yarn arrives. Does anyone know the approx size when finished? Thanks in advance x.
Hey! I have yet to try this but maybe putting something like a thick knitting needle in your loop and trying not to jostle it too much could do the trick!
I know this is an old video so idk if you'll reply but when doing the first stitches is there anyway to make the loops tighter once they're on your arm?
I’m 13 almost 14 and found this very hard at first. I re started 3 times before I got the hang of it. Some people asked if you want to stop how do you? I found if you put all the lops on a poll or a different color string and be very careful with the transition between your arm and other string you should be good. And then when you want to start you put the lops on the string or poll back on your arm.
Hi Rachael did you use the same yarn please? I've gone on the link but there's 2 sizes 100g or 200g and the mushroom colour looked different from the video, please help 🙏
@@smallone9825 I did this so long ago, I am not 100% sure. I know I did struggle a lot to do this & I let my mother complete the blanket but it was very uneven.
katherine lauderdale I found thicker/bigger yarn like this at walmart I only needed two had extra it’s MAINSTAYS Roving Yarn Hilo Roving 78 yards it was around $13 each
Thank you! I did it! It's not half bad. The only thing that wasn't super clear in your video... How exactly do we tighten? Specifically the first and second stitch after switching arms. I couldn't keep it as tight as I wanted and I was really giving my wrists a run for their money, trying to keep my stitches small.
I really struggled to tighten all my stitches, and had to have a loose stitch to make sure i didn't loose feeling in my arms (happened a few times and had to drop it and restart), I really tried but might have to big arms for this, to get a close knit similar to your result. I have got some more wool to try again, but was thinking about knitting using your arm technique but using PVC Pipes of about 2"s' Have you done this before or could give me any advice?
I have followed you from the very beginning and consider you to be the 1st/original arm knitter. 😁 My question is, how many balls of yarn, how many stitches and rows would you suggest for a baby/toddler sized blanket? Thank you. ~Theresa
Oh Maggie, I found you during lockdown months here in Australia, and I sent away for the yarn, but I just received it and they sent me 4 cream and 4 pinks!!!! I ordered 8 skeins just to be on the safe side as Im knew to arm knitting. Its taken months to get here. Can I do anything with 4 and 4 in different colours? I cant believe it!!!!!! Can you help, please xxx
I’m sure you could! UA-cam or Google how to switch yarn colors and use it in conjunction with this video. I’m sure you could also just use her knot method with different colors and have a more abrupt color change if you don’t mind that.
@@spartygirl1493 Thankyou Spartygirl. I'll defiantly take a look at her knot method. Im up for a change of colour just because I have no choice.... ha ha. I'll just have to try it. Thanks again for your reply. Much appreciated x
Make a cream and pink striped blanket by alternating colors every few rows. Just make sure you keep the pattern consistent if you want the thickness of the stripes to be consistent.
Hi Maggie, thank you so much for the tutorial. I know I am supposed to tighten the strands, but there are still gigantic holes in my blanket. I did try my best to tighten the stitches. I wonder what went wrong. The finished product is still cute, but not what I expected.
I’ve made a blanket before, but just found Premier Couture Jazz and it’s so much better! Easy to work with and it’s gorgeous!! Would you say this is a lap blanket?
Hey Maggie. New subscriber here. Im trying to make one of these for my girlfriend for christmas. I have two questions i was hoping you might be able to help me with. First, what do i do with the long tsil cast off? It seems to just disappear. And second, do you have any tips for keeping tension? I cant seem to get my yarn to stay tight as i progress through the rows. Thank you in advance!
Thank you for this video. This is the yarn I read that you suggested as your favorite. My daughter wants me to make a blanket that's big enough for she and her husband to snuggle under. I've never arm knitted before so I I don't know how much yarn I would need and how to figure out a decent size. Do you have any suggestions for me? So do you have any tips on how I can figure out how much yarn I would need or measurements? If there's a pattern somewhere that would be great? I know this is essentially pretty straightforward and fortunately this is what my daughter would like.
Gorgeous! Looks so easy to make! I have a question, if I want to start by making an L with one color, and then change the color for the rest of the blanket? Or start by making the outer one color and the inner with a different one? (I hope you understand what I mean.)

Me trying to find something to do during quarantine
I am
I literally just left the wool store now so tonight I’ll be attempting my blanket 🧚
Yup me to 😏
I have a ton of finger knitting left over so I did something with it!
I’m a total beginner and you made this so easy to understand!! Your the best 😂☺️
Just made a baby blanket for my niece, thank you!! Took about 1.5 hours!

but this was really easy to follow! i'll def be doing it again >3
How did you make yours bigger? How many cast on slips did you use? And how many rows? I want to make a pretty big one too. ❤️
Thank you so much for this! I made a throw for my bff for Xmas and once I got into a groove, I was surprised how fast it was.
Absolutely loved it. This was a great video
Thanks! This will be a great Mother's Day gift!
Again a great video - with easy instructions to follow - thank you
What is the end measurement? Like is it a 4x5, 4x4, 3x3??? Would love to make this if it isn’t too small!
I really hate how she doesn't answer ANY questions from anyone especially this one.
Agree. Need to know!!!
This tutorial is everything ❤

Wow! Beautiful I have purchased some yarn and am wondering do you have a rough idea on how many stitches wide for a baby blanket?
thank you very much for your content ❤love your work ❤
Real nice. Seems quick and easy. Will try.
This helped so much for me as a beginner for arm knitting 😭❤️
How big when finished, how much yarn needed?
Love it!
This was super helpful thank you. I’ve never done this before so will be back when the yarn arrives.
Does anyone know the approx size when finished? Thanks in advance x.
I have a question: what do you do if you want to take a break from your knitting?
Hey! I have yet to try this but maybe putting something like a thick knitting needle in your loop and trying not to jostle it too much could do the trick!
Pushing the loops on to a cardboard kitchen roll inner helps. Then simply push loops back on to arms.
Could it be a scarf?
Is it narrow for a blanket??
Thanks for the great video
How is the quality of rue yarn? Are they soft? I want to get a high quality knitted blanket but can’t justify the over price. Might make this!
TankU Maggie! Can U tell me how many skeins I would need to make a queen size blanket? Loved yr tutorial ❤
How big is the blanket when finished using the 8 skeins?
Thanks! I love these blankets!! I've ordered the yarn to make my own! :)
I know this is an old video so idk if you'll reply but when doing the first stitches is there anyway to make the loops tighter once they're on your arm?
Would loved to have seen you holding up the finished product 😊
My son loves to knit - excited to give him some chunky yarn and let him go nuts!

Holly Long approximately 5’ by 3’
the blanket is not very big and I would use a more bulky yarn for this..

I can never get past the 2nd row! I’ve attempted this 10 times now... so frustrating! Alas, I will persevere!!
