- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Arm knit, hand knit, finger knit, potato, potato. Whatever you want to call it, it's NOT knitting with needles, so throw those away. This is basically how to knit anything with huge yarn. A huge scarf. A huge blanket. Gloves? Socks? Go for it!
Keep in mind you can use any type of yarn for this, as long as it's thick.

A little late to the party but I found this tutorial and decided to try it. I’m now halfway through making a blanket for my king sized bed. This is actually my very first knitting project I’ve ever done and I love how it looks so far and I’m so proud of it. This tutorial was so helpful, informative and simple
Perfect video for my project! I went through so many tutorials and this was the only one that actually helped. My mom loves her birthday present
I have watched numerous other videos online and also gone through the step by step directions trying to understand how to make this blanket, and after several hours of failed attempts trying to reproduce what I was seeing on the videos, and step by step directions that only confused me further, feeling totally disappointed I was ready to give up when I saw your post, thinking I was probably wasting my time, I clicked on it. I am so happy that I took the time to watch yours, it was straight forward and easy to understand. Thank you so much!!!
I subscribed to your channel. You are wonderful explaining how to knit. Thank you for sharing your time and talents. God bless you.
Hey there! Thanks a lot for your content. I stumbled upon it today as "videos you might like" on my feed.
Personally I do more crochet stuff. But your videos are really awesome and I got a pair of needles to try knitting. So thanks for feeding my yarn addiction. 😜
Thank you so much for this video. After trying a few others, as a complete novice, I felt like this was just impossible for me. But your video and seeing you lay it out on a surface was amazingly helpful. My first project is complete: a super cozy blanket for my dog :)
U r my guru in knitting... In just 2 days I completed a scarf as per your method....
I watched this video when i first made a blanket. Watching this while starting my second! Thank you!
What a great instructional video I had such a hard time trying to put in on my arms but this took me through the steps and I finished a blanket today
Thanks
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE YOU CAN GET THE CHUNKY YARN THAT YOU'RE USING IN THIS VIDEO BECAUSE THE YARN THAT I USED WAS REALLY CRAPPY AND IT DID NOT WORK GOOD FOR ME
Jacqueline Douglas hi jus suggesting here darngoodyarn.com has some beautiful yarn selections. That’s where I’ve been getting mine from lately. All types!
Dude no need for caps!
Thank you this was great, simple instructions and super helpful! Now to go make my blanket 🥰
These look great and your instructions are super clear. Thanks. In terms of the blanket you appeared from under at the start, how much wool did you use? I’ve seen balls of 500g, 1kg and 4.5kg
This video was incredibly useful, it explains everything so perfectly!
Thank you for the video! You explain it so simply. I’ve had fun making blankets.
😀
This was extremely informative! You explained it so simply! This is now the second video of yours I have watched, and I subbed because I will be using these to help myself along with knitting for the first time next weekend! Thank you so much for making these and sharing them!
Great video! Was wondering where you purchased/would recommend purchasing this yarn? The one you used in the vid is stunning!
Noura I’m interested too
Joann Fabrics most likely. I am sure I am commenting too late! Sorry!

It turned out great! Thank you for this tutorial :)
Love your tutorial. Great explanation!
The king of quarantine activity
Very nice tutorial. I bought a U size crochet hook which I have crocheted for years. Trying to crochet with jumbo yarn...not working to well. I am going to try this. Nice job.
Do you think you can add a link to the stuff you use
I love this so much!!
So cute!
hey gurl haaaaaay!
This looks so comfy! Also the colour looks nice. is it soft?? Thank you for the tutorial
You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you very much. Que Dios te bendiga. God bless you.
How big do you need this yarn to make a blanket? I've been looking it says about 3kg you need of the yarn is this right? Thankyou
What specific yarn did you use? Thanks!
Thank u for sharing.ive never seen something so cool.you said you didn't know what to call it.well I would call it a blanket for the Jolly Green Giant. lucille
what thickness yarn is used for this and how long do you need it for the size blanket you made
This video is great and you have a really soothing voice! I just found your channel as I’ve decided to take up knitting while in quarantine haha. This looks like it would be such a fun project, out of curiosity, where did you buy this really thick yarn/wool from?
Try ebay, I think I've seen it on there.. Or you could try Amazon.. I'm sure it's VERY expensive though!!
I found your videos today after getting inspired to learn how to knit and this looks like something that would be great considering I was just saying I needed a new blanket. I wanted to ask though, everything was very clear except it one thing I was a little unsure of. At 7:30 you say that you don't need to worry about the last loop you made when starting the new row but at 8:30 it appears that you start the new row by going through the last loop you made on the row before. Is this simply a matter of depending on which side you are on or am I mistaken in my observation? Like I said I am a complete noob at knitting, I've never even touched needles because I have yet to go buy any lol
Very astute observation! Honestly, the jury's still out on whether you need to go over this last loop or skip over it and pick it back up when you're coming back (if that makes sense). With this blanket, I think I ended up doing a mix of both... sometimes picking it up, sometimes skipping it, and I found that it made no huge noticeable difference. But I'm sure arm knitting purists will have something else to say!
@@RJKnits Okay cool I appreciate your response! I went and got some yarn to try this today but couldn't find anything nearly as thick as you were using. I also made the rookie mistake of not realizing I would need about 7 of them and only got 1 haha
@@RJKnits if it's not too much to ask could you tell me how I would join in new yarn doing this? I have found videos about joining when you're using needles but I'm not sure how to translate it to this method. I ended up really enjoying this once I got a groove going and would love to get to continue on for a full size blanket once I buy more yarn
Very Nice 😍,I've been having difficulty trying to do this type of knitting but I did manage to do a throw so if I wanted to make it into a blanket could you tell me how would I do that an add-on
How much did the yarn cost? I’ve seen it online and it’s quite expensive 😂😂
$100,000 + a kidney. I don't recommend it, honestly. Go for cheap!
RJ Knits 😂😂 does it have to be an American kidney do they accept British ones as well 😂😂 thanks for the reply 👍👍
Go on wish and get the, for 10 bucks
I’ve been wanting one of these chunky knit blankies for way too long. The yarn seems pricey but if I am comforted by daily, well then, worth my time and new effort. I searched maybe 25 vlogs and yours seemed too speak too me :)- thanks so much.
Where do you get your yarn 🧶
I was just gifted two bags of very decent yarns some Merino Some Suoer kid mohair and more: I need the chunky knit. Decided maybe I can make my own?
Hey. What is the approximate cost of this yarn and did you order it off of Amazon?
"No shade" 😂😂😂
Thanks!!!!!
Can this be washed?
So pretty thanks.
Can these be washed in the washing machine?
Nice
Where did you get this yarn/ what’s it called?
Where can I get this yarn??
How much wool do you need for double blanket
I don't know why.... but seeing the chunky yarn as a strand is really disturbing me.... It's fine once it's knitted up.... but it just looks.... gross or wrong or something else totally irrational to be thinking about a fine piece of yarn.
Lovely tutorial, I always wondered how to do arm knitting, even though I know how to knit with needles. (I came to get a refresher on cables and while checking to see if you are still active this video caught my eye)
still active! and yes, this extra-chunk yarn is cool in theory, but kind of... gross. and it sheds!
I’m making a small one
I need points
What you're using in the video is not meant for knitting it shall surely shed every where because it's wool roving which is meant for spinning and felting
Do you know of the RIGHT kind to use then?
Lockdown got me here................
That is roving. Not yarn. That thing will fall apart in no time. It has no structure *smh
Do YOU know the right yarn to use?
STOP SAYING EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
