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!

[@tiretabowen5966]

That sounds like something I would have, take it part couple times, (lol). BLESSINGS

[@donnakelly3994]

Would have liked to see the finished blanket laid out to see. Thanks

[@blairwest3992]

I’ve been binging diy videos to make Xmas gifts and this is one of my favorites!!! Thank you so much!

[@lorrainemcneil]

Absolutely amazing. You make it look easy!!! Ive just been on and ordered this wool and Im so excited to try this. xxxx

[@moonthehedgehog]

An hour later and I have a beautiful blanket to give to my sister for her thirteenth birthday! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

[@aarontanguma4198]

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.

[@jaecollett5777]

what a great video! usually i get lost trying to follow tutorials, but you a very good at explaining and showing what you are doing :)

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

So glad it's helpful!

[@ngisabel9560]

Thank you so much Maggie!!! The tutorial is very clear and i have finished knitting a lap blanket in an hour

[@TahoArt]

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.

Maggie, I completed mine in beige, color and length are SO cozy! Thank you so much!

[@samyarichards9629]

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.

[@tracyford7064]

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.

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

[@myieshamyiesha61]

This tutorial is everything ❤

[@pepshaven6520]

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! :)

[@marierodd9451]

Thank you for this tutorial it is so easy with your instructions.

[@raesplaysandreviews]

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.

[@OFFICIAL1STLADY]

Real nice. Seems quick and easy. Will try.

[@felicityjohnson8095]

You did a fabulous job!! Love!!!

[@angeltrotman]

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.

[@medhopeful777]

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!

[@mad000]

Exactly

[@candlebright1979]

I just made one in 90 minutes!! Thank you for the tutorial!!

[@Thenakedforager]

Thank you for the advice.x

[@gailedwards7351]

Great tutorial, I made my blanket in about an hour. Thank you for the very clear instructions.

I didn't know u could arm knit! Thanks😇

[@barbtaylor2264]

Wonderful video, well explained and easy to follow. Thanks. XOXOX

[@awsum_adri]

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

[@ashliesmith9312]

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. ❤️

[@paisleyyau2215]

I got a bunch of this yarn for Christmas and I didn’t know what to do with it until I saw this video! Thank you so much!

[@lizlvanwyk3843]

WOW you are so talented Maggie :D

[@rebekahkahkonen2232]

What is the end measurement? Like is it a 4x5, 4x4, 3x3??? Would love to make this if it isn’t too small!

[@EffervescentSunflower]

I really hate how she doesn't answer ANY questions from anyone especially this one.

[@mandyoliver3398]

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?

[@ruthmiller4203]

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?

[@ritawashere5787]

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.

[@nicoleyoung6606]

My son loves to knit - excited to give him some chunky yarn and let him go nuts!

[@laurenclaggett6164]

Great tutorial! I'm having a hard time finding the yarn. Can you make some suggestions as to where I may be able to purchase online?

[@snickerzzzb.m9276]

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.)

[@maraaltschuler6864]

[@emerald553]

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.

[@avaryfromcanada6907]

Hey this looks awesome! What are the dimensions of the finished blanket (with 8 skeins)??

[@lexischopp4788]

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.

[@menajahlove6162]

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

I have a question: what do you do if you want to take a break from your knitting?

[@victoriabulcock8823]

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!

[@angf9471]

Pushing the loops on to a cardboard kitchen roll inner helps. Then simply push loops back on to arms.

[@gradyscreations86]

I made a blanket and this helped me a lot

[@tinavallejo1241]

Love this can't wait to try it, How many packages of yarn did you actually use?

[@kimberlyharrison7860]

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.

[@loricoleman902]

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?

[@getgodspeed]

Have you tried using Premier Yarns Retro super chunky yarn, to arm knit a blanket?

Would loved to have seen you holding up the finished product 😊

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 🙏

This has been VERY helpful, thank you so much! My only problem (of course, not your fault) is that I used a different type of yarn and it doesn't do well as far as trying to weave in or hide knots. Lesson learned!

[@marjoriewilkinson7814]

TankU Maggie! Can U tell me how many skeins I would need to make a queen size blanket? Loved yr tutorial ❤

[@megan4164]

hi!! im practicing this with a much (smaller? thinner?) yarn so that i have an idea of what im doing once my couture jazz yarn arrives. However, my stitches w i l l n o t tighten. is this just because of the yarn im using? i've been pulling on the working yarn :(

[@lucyt22]

im currently trying to make 1 but my wool is far to small and i dont know if it will work the same but im ver confused on how i make my next row of stitches could someone help explain it to me and whats the best wool to use?

How many stitches would you suggest for a child size blanket?

[@misoldado]

Hello...how easy is this yarn is to wash/dry? Thanks!

[@BlessingWebb]

how do you take a break when u run out of yarn? what do you do with the blanket?

[@jillrudy5599]

I m going to try it. I wanted to know if you ever tried the waffle stitch.

[@laurenleggio9771]

Ok, so I tried it, very easy good instructions, I would recommend doing more then 2 yarn rolls or else u will get this baby blanket so yeah🙃

[@mayapalmer7821]

how many rolls should i get

[@laurenleggio9771]

Maya Palmer I got 5 rolls and mine went across my bed and I have a double bed I think the rolls were 20 yards? I don’t remember but 5 was good

[@annsaeli7583]

Just found your site. I've been looking into "weighted blankets". How many ounces/pounds of yarn did you use? Any idea if this could be considered a weighted blanket?

[@christinehauski517]

Maggie, I was at the end of my blanket and I was going bind off but in the middle of the binding I did not have enough yarn, I need to take out some stitches and I don’t how to fix. Do you a video on fixing stitches to get back to finishing and binding. I don’t want to tear apart the whole blanket.

[@ashliesmith9312]

How big will this turn out? I want to make a pretty big one and if I wanted to do a couple rows of another color would you just tie it on when you want the blanket to have the rim?

[@anajimenez-yi3wk]

Hi I’m new to all this but wanted to ask where did I find that yarn? Name of yarn plz and also how many did u use to complete the blanket??

[@denkies_]

ana jimenez she used the premier yarns couture jazz yarn, you can find it on the Joann website, or on the linked website in the description, and she used 8! You asked this a week ago so maybe you already found your answers but I thought I might as well answer for others too! I’m new to this too and it all seems very fun to do!!
