Arm Knitting
(it's about time)
This week I thought it was ABOUT BLOODY TIME I did an arm knitting tutorial for you so I finally filmed a video.
Arm knitting is so much fun and it’s super quick…. just make sure you’ve been to the toilet first and aren’t expecting anyone to knock on the door because it’s a bit inconvenient if you need to get up half way through! One of my favourite things about arm knitting is that you don’t need to have any knitting experience to do it. It’s not really anything like normal knitting so it doesn’t tend to be an advantage.
You can make so many things with arm knitting, from cosy scarfs to HUUUUGE blankets and plenty of cushions. Hopefully this tutorial will help. Feel free to pause, rewind and fast forward and you could always give it a go with some string fabric strips first just to see if you can get the hang of it!
Let's dive in! ...
All you’ll need is:
- Giant Yarn (details below)
- An empty bladder
- Something good on TV
Giant Yarn
Working out how much yarn you’ll need is similar to the giant knitting but arm knitting is looser so it’ll probably make a slightly bigger blanket. As a guide:
1kg: Scarf
2kg: Lap Blanket/ Single Bed blanket (bottom of the bed)
3kg: Double Bed Blanket (bottom of the bed)
4kg: King Sized Bed Blanket (bottom of the bed)/ Cover a Single Bed
5kg: Almost Cover a Double Bed
6kg: Almost Cover a King Sized Bed
7kg: cosy af in any bed.

I hope that was helpful pals!!!

Take Care & Happy Knitting
