I only succeeded in making a very effective pair of handcuffs.

Am I the only person enjoying the tutorial? I mean for those who complained about too fast, there are things called PAUSE and speed switching. I get annoyed by the tutorials that are slow, and this one works perfect for me. Thank you for making this!
+Irene Wang Glad you enjoyed!
I enjoyed it too! They only thing I would take out is the "For beginners"part because I think some people may define "beginners" as those who have never knitted before. I believe this tutorial is easier to understand (for people who process visual examples like I do) if one already has an understanding of more traditional knitting with needles. These steps are essentially the same except your arms are used in lieu of needles.
I love this and I love that my daughter who's 14 actually puts her phone down to spend time with Me makin scarves for us, friends, and family for Christmas

+Michaels Stores Good time! Do you have shipping to Russia?
This is outrageously inventive and really awesome. I've been trying to find a larger scale way to teach my little sister how to knit. She's a hands on person and I have a hard time guiding her with needles. This looks like a great way to teach her how, and one she'd really enjoy. Thank's for the tutorial and great idea :)
Who knew?! I've been knitting for nearly 40 years and still learn new things every day.
I didn't even know that such thing as arm knitting exists. It's awesome! Thank you for this video.
Ignore the negative comments. This is a very well-done video. For anyone struggling with this, just follow along as you watch the video and you'll pick it up quickly. You can always go back if you miss something. I think this is the perfect pace.
+Holly Madison Appreciate the support. Hope you enjoyed and resulted in a nice project.
This is great! My Grandmother taught me how to crochet, do embroidery & quilting. All of which i have enjoyed for years, but this is so quick, easy & fun. I wish i could share this with her.
Learning to knit you need first - patience - looking at this video jump-start my creativity side to learn knitting - I watched it on slow speed, turn the volume down and practice, practice, practice - took it down and started again until I have finally learned using the needles.
I used three strands of cream, 6oz homespun yarn. It gives the appearance of beautiful, bulky lace. What a fun new way to knit!
An excellent video! This is a great way to make a blanket or throw as well, you just have to keep it going until its bigger. It's basically the EXACT same thing as regular knitting, just with larger yarn, and your arms are the needles.
I've been knitting for years and years and never seen anything like this. It's fascinating and I can't wait to try it.
I would have never thought of this. How awesome, I just might use this method to teach my children to knit. Thanks for sharing.
Too cool - I'll have to give this a try - got given two skeins of bulky yarn by a relative who couldn't figure out what to make from it. Looks like something I can do between other things. Thanks!
I always wanted to knit this tutorial was the perfect thing taught me how to do arm knitting , now I can knit using needles. So now I have afghans that are half knit and half crochet and very unique
Fantastic, I did this in an hour. Love it. Took awhile to get started but once I grasped the steps it flew.
OMG this is perfect for me to try!! I have MS and I so miss knitting due to the pain I have in my hands!! And this looks like so much fun to do with my daughter!! She loves creating different styles of scarves!! How fun!
I'm a crocheter, but I'm going to try this. I'm amazed!
Brilliant video demo. Precise. No long winded, boring, voice over. Well done.
I did it with this video! I had not enough wool so I used an old t-shirt for the most part. I am very happy with the result! Thank you for this vid!
This is an excellent video to show the steps in simple, easy to understand steps! The best one I've seen so far actually! Thank you Michael's.
Love this! The video is so easy to understand and it looks so easy to make! Can't wait to try this!
Thank you so much I needle knit but could not arm knit because i cast on only using my thumb. Now I can thank you very much you can always tell a professional.
Very helpful unlike another arm knitting video because it really explained the concept !!
THANKS SO MUCH THIS WAS REALLY NEEDED IT WAS SO EASY AND NICE AND MY MOM LOVED A SCARF I MADE LIKE THIS FOR HER BIRTHDAYS
This looks like so much fun and a great new hobby for me to try! I'm so excited to go pick up some yarn and get started. Maybe one day I'll start regular knitting, too!
I had no idea about this type of knitting. So inventive & creative. I love it. Will have to give this a try!
I replayed this video for so many times and finally I made it. Turned out perfect:)
+Leung Cedric Awesome! Great to hear.
made my first scarf using this tutorial. it turned out great!!! Thanks.
I did this this evening - I used two skeins of Encore Mega 75%/25% 100g 64yds and had 4-5 yards left. I have never finished a project like this, so am not sure I did it right, and the tension I had at the beginning was much looser than what I had at the end, making matching up the edges to be an interesting endeavor. Looks great, though!
PS - Baby Girl decided to wake up from a nap and be hungry, so I just finished the row and slid it off my arm onto the nearest workable object (fly swatter handle) and put it down to deal with life and was able to come back, put it back on my arm and finish. You can't look at the finished product and go 'oh, yep, there's where she used the fly swatter' :)
I'm doing a textile course at college and we are making a wall hanging and we have to do fabric making and so on, knitting is one technique we are doing and I'm going to try this it looks cool and seams to be easier.
Awesome tutorial it's amazing what you can make without the need of much equipment!
I really can't do anything knitting-wise, but for me this turned out great. I used two different colours of super soft yarn and made a tan and brown infinity scarf (or cowl as they call this one) that looks and feels like I bought it! The only thing I would have liked is for it to be tighter. On my scarf the stitches are far apart and it is very hole-y, but bunched together it is great. Thanks for the tutorial and take care :-)
So happy for you!!
Pls, let me know how many skeins of yarn have you used - one of each or more? Thank you
Hey Lucas, you just have to pull the string a little tighter after each time you knit one loop to the other arm. If you try again just try pulling all the string a little tighter and if you need to you can always make it a little longer by knitting a few more rows. :) I agree, I like them not so holey lol

Muito lindo! Parabéns pelo trabalho,adorei!
Arm knitting is fairly easy when you get in the move of it. Once you've done/tried it once its pretty easy. Btw, if you want the scarf/blanket/whatever you want wider, do more arm lengths. If you want it longer, keep transitioning the yarn over. :)
Looks so easy. I am definitely going to try this !!
yep I am trying this out now and it is easy to do
Very beautiful and very easy to make. Thanks.
That’s pretty cool . Can’t wait to try ☺️
i cant wait to turn that into a bag for my little sis for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's so cool!
It seems super easy!!!
Всё гениальное просто! супер ))
Woow this is very great, am never see this before
Lindo y muy util! felicidationes!
LOOKS EASY AND NEAT.....
That looks easy except for the casting on and off. Great job!😀
Woow amazing
it worked perfectly
Seeing this done makes a lot more sense than being told how it's done. I appreciate a long-tail cast on and would love to see a live cast on demonstration in the future. It's not clear to cast on 10 or 12 stitches total, but that's fine. How much yardage do you think one would need for this project? Lion Brand Hometown USA is a fairly cheap bulky yarn. I'd probably go with that. Thanks for sharing the how to. The visual really helps.
I love it 😍
I'm going to try this today
this video is really useful!
This is a must try for me.. Neat and sounds simple.. Pinned on Pinterest~~
