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

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

I wonder what size it was?

[@blairwest3992]

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

[@LindaMaeNot]

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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@sherrylwhite4126]

You not only make it look easy it is sooo much more fun than ever sooooo much easier than I thought!!!! Again thank you!!!!!!!

[@LynnDrowns]

Really it looks

[@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.

[@crearyvivir4980]

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

[@mandyoliver3398]

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

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

Mandy Oliver you are very welcome! ❤️

[@Samirabrown123]

I like this. I used to knit in class in high school several years ago because of you. I think ill start back again. 😂

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

Brittany Rogers yay! So happy you shared this ☺️

[@sherrylwhite4126]

One of the best teachers I truly appreciate you and your blessings!!!!!! 🦋🙏💝🦋👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎊🎈🎊

[@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.

[@lorrainemcneil]

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

[@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! :)

[@sophieeastburn749]

This is this best tutorial ive seen! Its so amazingly easy ive made a couple of these now. Thank you so much!

[@daejahesperanza7508]

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

[@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

[@kellystephenson613]

I love all of the projects that you make I'm just learning to make them

[@행복한꿈-w7h]

It was amazing!Thank you for tell your trick to make this amazing blanket!

[@plop7975]

Just made a baby blanket for my niece, thank you!! Took about 1.5 hours!

[@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.

[@ngisabel9560]

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

[@avaryfromcanada6907]

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

[@rachelhalley1624]

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

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

Glad it was helpful!

[@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.

[@ejohnsonw]

That’s a pretty cool blanket. I came over to your page from another page where they were doing Sartre dresses

[@elizaine729]

Thanks so much 😃🙏amazing tutorial!! Can’t wait to start a blanket 😊

[@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.

[@susansecorfranco2651]

Thank you for taking the time to share! It's a wonderful easy tutorial!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@lisabaker-bishop9762]

Agree. Need to know!!!

[@caterpillarcrafts8635]

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.

[@charlotte8076]

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_am_emma_g633]

I’m a total beginner and you made this so easy to understand!! Your the best 😂☺️

I have a ton of finger knitting left over so I did something with it!

Absolutely loved it. This was a great video

[@OFFICIAL1STLADY]

Real nice. Seems quick and easy. Will try.

[@anniewoods7987]

Again a great video - with easy instructions to follow - thank you

[@jeneanerupert609]

How big is the blanket when finished using the 8 skeins?

[@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?

[@teresaly278]

Can you please share with me how much yarn is needed for a blanket like 72X84

[@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?

[@kaitlyn4191]

After several restarts, about 3 hours later I have one to give to my sister for Christmas tomorrow! Thanks!

[@TheSprCch]

Thanks! I love these blankets!! I've ordered the yarn to make my own! :)

[@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. ❤️

[@annaliseell2476]

Does anyone know how many things of yarn she used. I’m looking to buy some I’m just not sure how much.

[@TahoArt]

At the beginning she said to use 8 skeins.

[@annaliseell2476]

Taho Art thank you!

[@mad000]

She used 8, but I recommend 10 and doing longer rows, 20 maybe

[@carolmacdonald4584]

@@mad000 If you've made one, do you have the finished size? I may have missed it in the questions, but I didn't hear it on the video.

[@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!

[@marjoriewilkinson7814]

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

[@HollehhMarie]

About how big is the blanket after it’s finished ? I’m going to try getting into making and selling these!

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

Holly Long approximately 5’ by 3’

[@maryfreeman6014]

the blanket is not very big and I would use a more bulky yarn for this..

[@katherinelauderdale7565]

That's what I was thinking but 8 things of this yarn is $60!!!!🙀😩

[@candlebright1979]

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

[@Diamondbeach]

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!

[@T0ldja]

Could it be a scarf? Is it narrow for a blanket?? Thanks for the great video

This is amazing ! How do u wash this without damage?

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

[@MOMMYTAMMY65]

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!!

8 skeins of what she used costs about $51

Does it matter what size yarn? Can it be a bit smaller size yarn?

[@mizyell1948]

How many of these rolls of yard did you use to complete this?

[@LainaCreveling]

Is this the same pattern as the one where you create loops as it's laying on a flat surface? It seems to look the same but be a much quicker way of doing it.

[@ghanapolios07]

Do you have to do a long tail stitch to start?

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?

[@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.

[@mirandanyakudya5388]

Thanx Maggie. But will it still be neat after a wash?

[@Gian-ni]

I want to make a sweater with this technique, but I have no idea how to do the round neck area (to put my head though). Would you know how to do that?

[@schnikhums10]

Hello, What do you do when the tail keeps coming undone? Also, is there a way to knit this blanket where it is not soo holey?? Help

[@maraaltschuler6864]

very nice clear instructions.

[@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?

[@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.
