Hey! So I’m using a different yarn, it’s still a number 6 super bulky yarn like yours, but I don’t know if I should adjust the width. You did 18 stitches in width, so 3 feet. If I want it wider I guess I just use as many stitches as I can get up to my elbow? First time arm knitting! 🙂
Right, just add more stitches to your arms if you want it wider:)
How did this blanket turn out with the other yarn. I cant find any of the one she recommends!
What yarn did you use? im from canada and cant get any of these yarns!! 🙁
I think t-shirting yarn will be great…also reuses old t-shirts 🙂 I am not fussed about the size I get 🙂
Have you used t shirt yarn for arm knitting? How did it turn out?
Mikayla, I don’t know if you figured one out or not, but I’m also from Canada and I bought the Loops and Threads Huge yarn. Definitely need at least 10 skeins tho but it’s getting there.
There’s a website called yarncanada.ca that sells a bunch of different kinds of chunky yarn! Their shipping is pretty well priced as well as their products.
I would love to give this a go, but i live in Australia and i am unable to get the yarn you are using. Would you have any other recommendation on another wool or would any one where know where i could get this yarn or a similar yarn 🙂
Thanks in advance 🙂
Lincraft have this yarn called Super Duper. It has more meters per balls as well – 26 compared to the recommended yarn that seems to have only 15m. Not sure how the size comparison. Unfortunately it is $19. a ball. Go to the Lincraft stor online and check it out https://www.lincraft.com.au/knitting-crochet/yarn-wool/super-duper-yarn
Hi Veronica,
Have you made this blanket?
How many balls did you need?
Ebony, did you ever find the wool in Australia? I had to import mine.
Would love to be able to purchase it here.
EBay and Amazon have these super bulky yarns.
Hallo ich begrüße alle ??! Mein Name ist Lisa und ich liebe die Videos von Maggie . DANKE ??
If I did not want to use my arms, what are the largest needles I could use to get same look and size…someone even suggested pic piping…thanks, Maggie…ordering wool this week!
Carole, I don’t want to use my arms either. Premier Courture Jazz recommends US 50 (25 mm) needles for its yarn.
I used a 50 US Knitting Needles with 36″ cord I made very loose stitches and played with different numbers of knit and purl rows to give more texture and to me it looks more like scales kinda. I have so far made 1 adult 5 foot long tail, two 4 foot and a 22 inch (for my still in the oven 3rd grand niece). I used the Jazzy since I lucked out and it was on sale for the first order and sadly not on sale again for the next order I just did. I also made something I am calling the Cocoon for my nephew it was a total accident that turned cool. I wasn’t really paying attention since I was on a stretcher in a hospital hallway waiting for the VA’s “Choice” program to stop screwing up and get the right paper work to the Doctor that had agreed to do the procedure I was sent 4 hours from home to have done even though that hospital didn’t do the procedure… so basically stress and anger knitting and when I finished the 7th skien of Jazzy and realized I had a 10 foot long by 3 foot wide “blanket I was about to start crying again and I was out of tissues .. I was thinking randomly that if I could cut the damn thing in half and knit the two sides together it would be a good height and width for him. so I then thought well what if I just knit up one side so I folded it over knitted the two sides together on the edge opened it up and the curve at the bottom was making a perfect foot pouch and it was hugging my legs so it basically was like a sleeping bag without a back. (Not bad I think since I basically had just learned to knit watching the Simply Maggie videos and a video of someone knitting with 50 US needles. I chose to use needles over arms since one I’m not skinny so not happy with the loops my arms made. I oredered jumbo yarns thinking they were well JUMBO but I can’t find anything as wide as the Premium Couture Jazzy (other than the insane priced super wool balls on Etsy and I am not making couple hundred dollar blankets for kids lol. I did get 6 skiens each of https://www.premieryarns.com/collections/6-super-bulky/products/psafarisp these it is not as wide as hte Jazzy so I ordered this Knitting needle kit https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WURGNC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I am going to try using the 15 US needles with the Safari and see how loose I can go with out it looking weird. For the regular yarn I saw Simply Maggy did one of her videos using 3 strands of yarn in the place of the Jazzy I did that practicing with some yarn I had while I waited for my original stuff to come. It looked really pretty since the gaps withing gaps gave it really nice texture. I’ll do that with the disappointment ‘Jumbo” yarn for the blankets the kids want one color or I also thought about using the yarn so instead of making stripes of a couple different greens and a brown use two of the greens and the brown as the three pieces of yarn with the 50 needles. I am posting my blankets, as I make them, on my twitter @JackholeDiary. The baby Jazzy one that is 22 inches long was last one done using the 50 US knitting needles. Since I had to order more Jazzy to finish my nieces that wanted Mermaid tales will be working on a I guess it would be called Tshirt ribbon blanket for niece that wants a blanket for taking to school sporting events. There is not an orange in Jazzy which is why I went with the Hooked XL from Love Knitting http://www.loveknitting.com/us/hoooked-ribbon-xl-solids . From the photo I thought this might be as wide as the Jazzy but it is more the size of a thick shoe lace. I will be trying out the multiple skeins at a time with the 50 and single with a 15 to see which I like best and will post what a few rows looks like of each on my twitter. If you can’t tell I get verbal diarrhea if given the chance as I am home and mostly bed bound due to my disabilities so excited to finally have found something that is helping me with keeping my hands and fingers exercised since I have had some nerve issues with them lately and don’t need my arms joining my legs in atrophy land. Looks like I didn’t share the Instagram of the adult and tween size blankets and my cocoon accident so adding that image now.
In some Craft stores you can buy size 50 us needles that give the same look/ feel
Hello Maggie
Iam from pakistan
We don’t really get this long time period of winters around
Just wanted to appreciate u at doing this good job and the way u respond back to almost every comment
Thanks ?
Where can i buy it in Sydney Australia? ??
buy it online from Michaels
Hi. I want to make a blanket for a king size bed. How much yarn would I need. In pounds please. Thabk you
How many balls of premier yarn jazz couture do I need to make one blanket?
Do I have to use the courture jazz or can it be a different one??
I have a question! I ordered the jazz couture 7 chunky yarn and the holes in my blanket are HUGE! I tightened as much as I could but ive obviously gone wrong somewhere. Help???
Hi! So I just tried the blanket, and it seems like my blanket’s holes are a lot bigger than yours, is it because my forearms might be bigger? Or am I doing something wrong?
Did the yarn you used end up being just as chunky as pictured? If so, could I get the name of the brand from you? Thanks!
Has anyone tried super bulky chenille yarn by the cone, that they sell on eBay to weavers? I saw one that contained 300 yards (1 lb) of cotton chenille on a cone. I wondered if that would work instead of expensive knitting yarn. (The super bulky cotton chenille by the cone on eBay was under $14, plus shipping…)
Vicki – How did this turn out with you using the super bulky chenille yarn for weavors?
I am always looking for the best bank for my buck that still gives me great results!
Thanks!

Hey Maggie,
Is there any way to use two colors that wouldn’t look like it was just alternating between strings of yarn? Would it be possible to alternate between rows by tying the different colors together?
Thank you so much!
Hi Maggie. Enjoyed the 45 Minute Blanket Video. Very clear instructions – well explained. Thanks for great idea, pattern, planning / thought process as you worked, connecting new balls of yarn, good cast-on and cast-off instructions, final number of rows, size measurements and pictures in different colors. Just awesome. Going to try as soon as I get my yarn. Excited to get started!! Thanks again!
Hey I found this account in etsy that sells the yarn, a half a pound is 12.50 and a pound is 25.50, is half or a pound even close to being enough, it is specificly arm blanket yarn too.
I’m in Canada and Michael’s has Loops and Threads Chunky Grande (7), $8.99 for a 22m skein. Just bought “cappuccino” to try this arm knitting blanket!
I would like to know how much wool and the cost please
Each ball of yarn is $7? So to make your 11 ball 5 ft one, you had to spend $77?
Hello would I be able to hand knit this blanket instead of arm knit?
thanks so much, love your webiste, very inspiring
Can’t wait to try this. The color I want, pink, is sold out so as soon as they get more I’m buying it:)
Where do you find yarn that a thick? I can’t find it anywhere
Hello, I added links for purchasing online. I have hear that JoAnns carries it, also AC Moore will carry it at times but I had to order online.
I also found the same yarn on stuff4.com and a lot of it was on sale for cheaper than anywhere else.
Hello Maggie,
I am wondering, I am in Australia and premier yarns online shop does not ship to Australia, I was wondering if you could send me a link of the same yarn but somewhere were it actually does ship to Australia. Like amazon but not so expensive. because i am bad at looking into things. I f you find a good place do you think that you will be able to reply with a link. I have a budget of $70-$100 (Australian) because that would be really appreciated.
Cheers Maggie.
Hello Maggie,
I was looking around your webpage at the yarns and I went in to premier yarns and selected the amount I wanted (11 balls of yarn), thank you so much mAGGIE BECAUSE i went to check out and it says country and australia is in there thank you very much Maggie even thought you didn’t have to do much!!!!
Cheers Maggie!
Hey matt atr you able to please send me link as i cant select to Australia thanks

Hi matt do you have this link
Hi Maggie,
I was wondering about how much year you would think it would take to make this blanket 3ft by 3ft
I bought 8 skeins of Lion Brand Quickie for $4.99/skein at Jo-Ann Fabrics online. It is 85g/22 yards per skein, so comparable to the 100g/16.5 yes of the yarn recommended. They’re both #6 super bulky. Lots of variegated color options for this Lion Brand Quickie!
Hi- how did using the lion heart quickie yarn work out for you? Just looking into cheaper options!
Did you leave the string, that wraps around the yarn, on? I wondered about removing it for more thickness..
I ordered from Hershners online. It specializes in yarn and projects. You definitely will find the yarn there! The yarn is very expensive so be prepared. Enjoy! Hope you have long arms. lol
Hey, this may be a dumb question, but I’ve never done any knitting before. Once you run out of the first skein, how to you start with the second one?
Tie a knot.
No shit Sherlock, but maybe they don’t know how to tie it correctly
Your video didn’t show you starting new balls of yarn, so I’m wondering if you can do the magic knot with all this stuff on your arms.
I’ve already ordered my yarn. Can’t wait to do this!
Thanks.
I don’t believe the magic knot would work with this method. I just do a normal knot. It should be in the video at some point.
It was close to the beginning when you showed starting a new skein by tieing a knot. Just review her video close to the beginning.
My blanket came unraveled in the middle after 6 skeins of yarn??? Took whole thing apart starting over! Any suggestions?? Frustrated
It’s in the video at 10:10 approx (might have to rewind about 30 secs.
She showed how to add on a new ball, by just tieing the two ends together in a tight knot. Then continue on working.
Also, how many stiches can you expect to realistically put on your arm with this specific yarn? Obviously, not everyone’s arms are the same length, but, you know.
Thanks!
@ $18 a skein this is a $200 blanket! Yikes!
No no haha. I wouldn’t spend that much on yarn. It’s 18.00 for 3 skeins on Amazon. I think I ended up spending a total of 57.00 to make this blanket. 🙂
I looked on Amazon and saw the three-packs, but a lot of reviews said that they still only received 1 skein and that the company was very shady about the whole situation. Are there any other brands similar to this yarn?
No other brands but you can purchase from walmart.com.
I bought the 3 skeins from Amazon three came.
I ordered 4 packs of 3. And I received 3 packs of 3 and 1 individual skein. I went to call and it actually just had me enter my number for them to call me back. They called immediately and in about 3 minutes they had discovered the problem saw I was shorted 2 skeins and overnighted me the full pack of 3 skeins at no charge. So I ended up with an additional 1 skein. Not shady at all. Amazon was and is very professional and resolved the issue very QUICKLY.
How many yards does 11 skeins end up being? I looked up Couture Jazz and it seems those bundles are 16 yards each, but that doesn’t seem like enough if you used 11.
Each skein is 16.5 yards. I used 11 Skeins.
Would it be any different of I used a different type of yarn? I have medium 4 worsted yarn already in the color I want.. would it just be smaller?
It would be smaller and the holes would be much bigger.
I’d use multiple skeins at once. Say 3 strands of yarn together to get the bulky ness of this blanket.
You would need to use about 12 strands of worsted weight to achieve the bulk of this yarn!
[…] the mean time, I wanted to share the link to my Etsy shop. I know some of you are interested in the Arm Knit scarves, but aren’t into DIY (Doing it yourself). Nothing wrong with that! I sell some of the […]
My computer”s sound is not working could you send me a written “how to arm knit from the tutorial please. Thank you
I don’t have written instructions at the moment but you should be able to watch the video and still figure out the steps. Soon enough I’ll try to come out with an e-book with my patterns.
Do you think you could do this with t shirt yarn?
Definitely. I’d use two strands at a time.
How do you use multiple strands at once?
You use multiple skeins at once and then pull a strand from each skein.
Or use a PVC pipes as your “arm”. I’ve wanted to get rid of all my tshirt yarn made, but not thrilled with other options. Thank you Maggie! This tutorial& 1 of the other comments let me make a new rug my dog just loves. 🙂
I just finished my blanket in white & black. bought yarn via Walmart as Maggie suggested @under $6 per Skein + free shipping.
This went very fast and I love the easy instructions,detail and final look. Thanks for sharing Maggie.
How did you do it with 2 colors?
What brand of yarn did you purchase from Walmart to create your blanket and how many skeins were needed
Love the idea and want to try arm knitting but cannot obtain the yarn in Australia, could you tell me what other to use Thanks
just found arm knitting and would love to have a go but I cannot find that yarn in Australia could you give me a substitute please
Same as yourself Judy. I too am from Australian and would love to know where I could purchase the yarn here. 🙂
Get someone with a knitting machine to knit you a length of “yarn”. 🙂
Whenever I got done with my first row, I had a done of loose yarn in the middle of the row. I tried again, this time making sure to keep the yarn tight after every stitch, and I still ended up with a lot of extra, loose yarn everywhere. Any advice?
I’ve got my yarn and am super excited to start but I wanted a wider blanket! Would 12 skeins be enough for an extra 2 stitches but the same number of rows?
Sounds like it would be enough.
I found mine for $4.80 a skein at Walmart.com free delivery for orders over $50
I just bought 12 skeins on the premier yarn website on sale for $2.50 each! They are currently on back order, but if you’re looking for a good deal and don’t mind waiting, it’s worth checking out!
Well what was the site you got the yarn for at 2.50 each?
I didn’t get them for 2.50 each. I got them for around 5.00 each at walmart.com. ACMoore had a sale on them so I bought a few there but they didn’t have enough for a blanket.
I think she’s talking about the company that makes it, Premier Yarn.
It looks like all these websites are either fully or almost out of stock, unfortunately. I’ll have to keep checking back so I can try it! Has anybody found any other yarn that’s as chunky as this one, by chance?
I’m interested in trying this. I found some yarn I really liked, but it has a weight of 5, not 6. What effect will this have?
Is it super bulky? If so it will work. Chunky will work as well.
Hi Maggie, I would love to make that blanket with your arm knitting. I have no experience knitting whatsoever. I wonder if you could help me with the total number of yarns if I would like to make a 5×9 blanket for someone 6’1″ in height. I also would like to know how to stitch together 2 blankets as you’ve advised someone in the comments. I would appreciate so much for your attention to my questions.
Hi I was just wondering I wanted to make a blanket using this method but I wanted to make it for a queen size bed. I saw that 18 stitches equals 3 ft so if I get a gaint stick and just add more stitches then that would work right? Or can I just make it as wide as I can on my arm and then maybe do another one and attach it to the first one? So make 2 blankets and just attach them like you did the scarf?
Sure, either way should work.
I wanted to make a queen sized version, too! How did making two and attaching them work out for you?
I wonder if you could use a long pic pipe or a swim noodle toy?
This is such a magnificent tutorial and idea!! I plan on making 3 of these for Christmas gifts this year!! Thanks so much!
[…] Favorite DIY […]
I don’t think I heard you say in the video…how long did this end up taking you?
45 minutes.
Literally just look at the title….
Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me where to find number 6 super bulky yarn? Preferably online?
Major thanks! I want to try this 🙂
Links are in my blog posts for all the yarn I use.
Would Premier Yarns Deborah Norville Collection Hipster Yarn work because I saw it on the walmart website and it is only 3 dollars. The other stuff is like 7 unless you get white.
It’s not anywhere near as thick so the blanket won’t be quite the same.
Where does the slip knot go? towards one end of the blanket or in the middle
It’s the first step so it’s at the beginning of the blanket.
Using a different size 6 yard would work alright though? I have a bunch of lionbrand hometown U.S.A and thought if I did double or triple strands it might work without have holes that are too large?
Lion Brand doesn’t have any yarn that is as thick but you could triple the strands and it would be close but not quite the same.
This is a really informative tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing this. I think I’m going to try this out when it gets a little more chilly.
Hey there, great tutorial! I was wondering if one could make a sort of chunky scarf using this method and just use fewer stitches for a smaller width? I know you make an infinity scarf like this but i would like to make just a regular scarf. Could this work?
Sure. Try 4 stitches and arm knit until you have the desired length. I would buy 6 or so balls of yarn.
I have used this method a few times for scarves. I have done both regular scarves and infinity. I used lions brand thick and quick. It’s a 6 and can be bought about anywhere.
I can’t hear the instructions but trying to find out how many ‘things’ of yarn. I have never done anything like this but would like to try.
11
so i have arm knitted a infinity scarf before and i was wondering how do u add the balls of yarn as you keep going or in other words how to you attach the balls of yarn once you run out?
and where did you get ?
thanks
I show in the video blanket video and in the 15 minute scarf video how to do this. Just tie a basic knot.
Thank you Maggie. This looks like an exciting project. Now to try and track down this kind of yarn in the UK 🙂 Very good video. Thanks again.
Sandy
Did you have any luck? I too am from the UK and I can’t find anything of the like at a decent price. Any help would be much appreciated.
I see that you can add more loops on your arm for a wider (than 3 ft) blanket. Can you also somehow stitch two together?
I’ve never done anything like this before and would like to try it.
Thanks. 🙂
Sure. Try using the “sewing” method I do to sew the infinity scarf ends together.
Hello. Have you ever used different colored skeins? If so how did they turn out?
I haven’t. But others have and they look nice.
This is a fantastic tutorial!! I’ve never knitted before and this seems like not a bad place to start. I do have a question though; if I wanted to make a 5×7 blanket about how many balls of yarn do you think that would take? Thanks so much!
I would buy an extra 5 balls of yarn. So 16 total.
[…] https://www.simplymaggie.com/arm-knit-a-blanket-in-45-minutes […]
Just out of curiousity, did the ends ever come out? Can you wash this blanket?
I would hand wash and low tumble dry. No the ends never came out.
hi Maggie! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I am using the bernat mega bulky 6 lb yarn. i have tried a few times and i keep ending up with a really long loop of yarn at the end of the row. i cant seem to not have that? i have tried to do it as tight as i can and so when i tighten it i end up with this loop and it gets bigger each time i tighen. am i doing something wrong or is it the yarn i am using? i thought of double or tripling my yarn? HELP!!!
Hello! Definitely double or even triple your yarn if you are making a blanket. Though the yarn would be the problem, make sure you are turning the working yarn just as I do in the video. Follow the exact moves I do and it should work.
I found I was casting on wrong. Frustrated me to no end.
THEN I found this very short tutorial on casting on . I tried it … works like a dream!
Maggie, I love your arm knitting tutorials and have made several of the infinity scarves for my granddaughters for Christmas! In response to Michelle, I had the same issue with the extra loop. I had my husband watch the video then watch me. He discovered I had the tail & working yarn reversed as I was casting on! (Sometimes an extra pair of eyes help!) Hope this helps you, good luck!!
I saw your work on Pinterest and watched your video. I am in the process of making two other blankets for my twin granddaughters. However, once the holidays are over I am planning on this being my next project.
Your video is very detailed so I’m sure I’ll be able to make one without any problems although everything I’ve always made has been crocheted. Also, if you don’t mind, could your please tell me about the song you have playing as background music? It’s a beautiful song. I would love to hear the full song and know who is singing. Thanks!
Hi Maggie!
Thank you so much for sharing this, it is so cool!
Two quick questions. I wanted to make mine larger as well and I saw another commenter mention a scarf you did where you attached two pieces together, could you please link me to that video?
Also, if I wanted to make stripes with two colors, how would I do that? Just change colors after every two or three rows?
Thanks!
How much does the yarn cost? Can I get it at micheals craft store?
As far as I know they don’t carry it. try premieryarns.com
Any advice on making a California king size one as a spread? Just not sure how to calculate how much I need and where but I am going to look at some of the places suggested for best priced yarn. If anyone has idea of how much I need to do California King size spread I would appreciate it?
I live in Canada and just purchased supper bulky #6 yarn in 100 yd skeins for 7.99 at Michaels! Great deal!
I can’t seem to find the couture jazz yarn on any website that is in stock. I cany find it anywhere and inwas looking so forward to making the blanket I was really disapointed when I couldn’t find it. Can u help me out?

I’m so excited to try arm knitting! I think this will be make great Christmas gifts. I’ve searched for the yarn you recommended (particularly in this gorgeous red) in your video all over, but I can’t seem to find anywhere that has enough in stock! Is there another brand of yarn you would recommend to use for arm knitting and for a blanket?
try premieryarns.com
Hi Maggie,
I have been practicing with chunky yarn before I order what you used for your blanket. I can cast on stitches fine but when it comes to transferring them to the other arm it’s fine but when I get to the last one it is really loose. Seems like the tail makes the stitch loose. I am not sure why. any suggestions? Thanks.
I would suggest to keep going to your next row. It may not be as loose as it looks if you keep going.
Ok. Thanks
maggie
How do you think a blanket would come out using Fat Russian roulette yarn from alpacas?
[…] Arm Knit Blanket from Simply […]
[…] my apartment. However, most stores sell them for quite a large sum of money. I found an amazing tutorial online from Simply Maggie, which provides all of the needed information to begin this project. […]
I’m confused about the terms “working yarn” & “tail”. Which is which?
Working yarn is the strand(s) attached to your ball or skein, tail is the shorter, loose end.
Would using 1.5″ Rug braiding wool work for this? That is sold in feet, not skeins, so any idea on yardage for the amount of “yarn”?
Thanks!
Amy
Love this project!
Anyone have any luck finding this yarn lately?? It seems to be out of stock EVERYWHERE. 🙁
Tried all links above. I so want to try this…any suggestions are appreciated-or substitution yarn ideas?

Hi Maggie,
This blanket is fantastic and I’d love to make one but I can’t seem to find the couture jazz yarn anywhere (at least not in a colour that I’d like). Can you please let me know if there is another brand of yarn that would be similar and that I could substitute for the couture jazz yarn?

Do you think Lion Brand Quickie yarn would work for this? Its a #6 Super Bulky yarn…
Hi Maggie!
I know you’ve wrote how long the blanket is but I’m used to cm. Do you know the size in cm?
I couldn’t find any good conversion site 🙂
It looks lovely and I would like to make these for christmas present this year but maybe a little bit smaller 🙂
Many thanks!

Looks like this yarn is only still available in baby pink. If anyone finds a similar brand, please share!
I am determined to make these for Christmas gifts for my family. However, I have search and searched for this yarn on multiple(probably 6 or more different websites)and every single one is “out of stock”. Is there any other yarn that would work just as well? Any suggestions on where to find some? I am very anxious to make them. 🙂
Can this blanket be machine washed?
Maggie! Your video is fabulous!! I have been searching high and low and no-one has this yarn in stock, including the websites you posted. I have yet to find anything quite as bulky or thick…. any ideas on substitutes? Thanks so much!
I still can’t find any of the yarn that is used in this video, every where is out, any other suggestions?? Thanks!

Dear Maggie I’m obsessed with your YouTube tutorials you made it so easy for me to learn, now I’ve done nothing but knit all week haha I just wish I could find the yarn you use in the blanket tutorial above
None of the websites have the yarn in stock now. Walmart has only one color but has a limit on the number of skeins you can purchase. I know no other yarns are as thick, but can you recommend an alternative brand/style? I used a 6-wt yarn for an infinity scarf, and even double-stranded, it ended up being super holey. I’d appreciate any suggested yarns!

Is there a comparable yarn that is maybe more easily available than the Couture Jazz? I’ve tried all of those links and asked as various stores and none of them seem to have it. I really want to make this for a friend for Christmas but can’t find the yarn!!
Hey I was wonder how many things of yarn do I need
Is there a way to make this bigger? My fiance is 6’4″ and always complains that none of the blankets are big enough for him.
Tough finding the yarn you used – although I am still looking. What yarns would be comparable?
LOVE THIS BLANKET!!
I’ve checked all the websites you listed and more, and the yarn isn’t available anywhere. Any substitutions or suggestions?
I think this is the yarn ?

Yes, it is!
The arm knitting yarn at Jo-ann’s does not look as thick as the one you use, do you know if it is as thick. The types are Bernat Mega Bulky Yarn, Lion Brand Quickie Yarn, and Red Heart Grande Yarn.
They aren’t quite as thick
maggie,
Can you recommend another yarn in lieu of the couture jazz? It’s sold out EVERYWHERE and I would really like to try and make this blanket.
If you head over to my FB page I have listed a couple of similar yarns.
[…] 9. Arm-Knitted Blanket […]
Premier yarns just released more stock if the Couture Jazz. But it seems way more airy/netted than the yarn on your site. Am I just not seeing it correctly on your tutorial? None of the stores have it, yet, and I don’t want to buy it online without confirmation that it’s the right stuff. I’ve been stalking their site since I first saw this last month. 🙂
Yes, it’s the right yarn.
If i want to make a blanket that’s for someone who is about 5’8″ how much yarn should I use and how many stitches should I make?
If I want to make a blanket for someone who is 5’8″ how much yarn should i buy and how many stitches should i make?
Buy 12-13 balls and cast on 20-22 stitches.
is this the same yarn you used as the original scarf?
So I’m attempting this blanket and cannot figure out why mine is so difficult. I must be making my loops a lot looser than you (only loose enough to move up arm) and at this rate I will only get about 24-26 rows out of 12 skeins. Help!
Thanks!
The only advice I can give is keep the stitches as tight as possible.

Thank you
Hi,
This looks so fun! Is there a way to do a pearl stich on their blanket? Thanks
Maggie!! I love this blanket and want to make one like it, but I can’t find Premier Couture Jazz yarn anywhere. I see that it’s listed as a #6 Super Bulky, so I know there are other yarns with that same qualification, but I’ve never even seen that Premier yarn in person, so it’s hard to tell the gauge for sure. I like the look and feel of Bernat Blanket yarn, and it is also #6, but when I see it in person, it doesn’t look as thick as the yarn in your video. Do you think it would work?
If I use yarn that is 6-Super Bulky will it have the same end result?

It will be in stock middle of this month-end of the month.

I’m going to make this for my mother in law but I am wanting to do 2 colors, how would I start it?
When you run out of one ball, tie the next color on to the end of ball you ran out of.
hi Maggie, this is a beautiful blanket. Thank you so much for sharing the video and the pattern. I have a question for you. Is the yarn soft? I am always worried about ordering yarn online I have never felt before lol thank you so much.
I totally understand, I have issues with itchy yarn as well! It is very soft and not at all itchy or rough.
I can’t seem to find this yarn anywhere…any suggestions on a different brand?

Hi Maggie. Do you think this pattern would work with strips of old blanket cut into lengths? I’m thinking multi coloured/rainbow
Sure. That would be interesting
Did you end up trying it? I’m thinking about trying with strips of fabric.
This “blanket” looks more like a rug to me, which got me thinking…if you make it with fabric strips instead of that super-chunky yarn, would this method work to make a rug? hmm….
Hi. Thank you so much for this video. I have my yarn (yay!) and sat down to get to work, but I am stuck already! During the video, you begin by casting on with the tail in the back and the working yarn in the front. (at the 4:54 mark, you point to the “tail” and it’s in the back of your wrist.) But, at the end of your casting on, the tail is somehow in the front. (at the 6:42 mark you take the back yarn and say it is the “working” yarn.) I knit all the time, and this is my first time arm knitting, and I have tried to figure out how you did that, and I am lost. I’ve cast on 3 times now, all 18 stitches, and my tail always stays in the back. I want so badly to make this awesome blanket for my children for the holidays, but I’m worried about messing up in the first few moments. Any help is so much appreciated! Thank you so much!
Hello. No need to pay any attention to where the tail is after you have completed the cast on step.
I am trying to arm knit a blanket and have some questions. When I do my first row of knitting, I end up with a fairly long piece of string from the original casting from trying to tighten the stitches. If I don’t tighten it though, the holes are pretty big. Can you help?
Keep it tight. Having a tail left is normal.
maggie, you are adorable and so is your blanket! I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing:)
Thank you so much!!
I made my blanket and LOVE it! I’m totally hooked! Hurray! (If anyone wants to see photos of the work, visit my instagram: michellegardella) Thank you so much for this video!!!
Are there other yarns that are comparable and less expensive that can be use? I know that $5.99 isn’t a lot, but when you are buying multiple bundles, it can get pricey.
hi Maggie! (:
I love this arm knitting blanket idea and I want to make it for my twin sister and I’m very excited to do so! I just have a quick question for you. You said that the blanket came to 5 foot 3 foot and I was just wondering how I could make it bigger? Like, so I just add more rows? And since I want it bigger (like 5 foot 7 foot) how many balls of yarn should I get?
Thank you in advance for answering my questions!
xx Aliseea
Is it possible to crotchet this same way? Then there would only be one stitch to worry about.
i wondered the same thing, i think you can and i am going to try. will let you know if it works. right now i am arm knitting a covering for a decorative pillow – gives great texture and contrast, and am using fleece that i cut into 1 1?2″ strips. Funky and really cute.
[…] Instruction: here […]
Would the #6 yarn from Loops and Thread work just as well as the Couture Jazz brand?
It won’t be the same but if you triple the strands it will still look nice.
I think your awesome I have always wanted to learn to knit and with doing it on your arm it was easy to learn. thank you! peace and joy. God Bless!

This was my very first armknitting project and I absolutely loved it! I made a blanket for my grandmother and I am excited for her to unwrap it on Christmas Eve. Thank you for making this so easy and fun! I used Lion Brand Yarns, quickie, size 6. I made mine 20 stiches and 31 rows. This took 7 1/2 skeins.
I love these but I still cant find the yarn . They are all sold out. I have made the scarfs and love them. Great gifts ! thanks for sharing .
They have restocked a ton of new colors on their website.
How many skeins should you get if you are using lion brand quickie yarn if you are 5′? Also does the lion brand quickie yarn work the same?
Please advise. Love to start arm knitting, but I cannot find this type of yarn in the Netherlands where I live. Do you know where I can order it with international shipping?
Where do you buy your yarn? I was looking online and that type of yarn you used was $9.99 each and you used a lot. Is there a way to get that much yarn without spending a lot of money?
Would I cord work?
I love this and am going to start arm knitting this weekend! Thanks for the video and I look forward to more arm knitting
Just ran across this arm knit blanket. I’m a beginner and a little technically challenged. First question: in searching for the Premier Couture Jazz #6 weight yarn….not all #6 weight yarn is the thickness of the Couture Jazz yarn…right? Second, you say you list links of other places this yarn can be found….Where?? I’m not seeing them.
Right. And premieryarns.com is the only website that sells it at this time.

I cast 6 stitches then my tail is gone. What am I doing wrong? I did the 5 ft tail like you said but it just gets smaller and smaller as I go on.
It is supposed to get smaller.
Hi Maggie, I’ve had the same issue- I’ve done this twice and only get through 7 stitches. I was wondering if it’s due to differences in our forearm diameter, but I don’t think it would cost me 11 stitches (since you go to 18). Any ideas on why this keeps happening? I start with a 5′ tail and I’ve been careful not to swap the tail and working yarn while casting on.
Hi Maggie, that for sharing this. I would love to make this! I will see what yarns we have here in Australia that would be suitable. I’d like a soft yarn in navy blue.
Hi Sally, what yarn did you end up purchasing in Australia and from where?
Can anyone recommend a different yarn? I really want a similar beige color, but Premier Yarns has said this has been discontinued.
Unfortunately they won’t be restocking that color. If I find a similar yarn in that color I will share!
please help…. I can’t find the premier yarn couture jazz beige anywhere…. Any advice? I’ve keep checking premieryarns.com but no luck… ????
Unfortunately they won’t be restocking that color 🙁
It’s back! https://www.premieryarns.com/products/pcoutjazz?variant=24360216070
It is also now rated as a #7 Super Bulky Weight, not a #6, so people might not find it as easily. I looked under #6 and it wasn’t there and just by chance wanted to see what #7 looked like and found it. Just something you might want to mention to your followers.
Well, it’s a little confusing, Premier Yarn has Couture Jazz listed under #7 “Jumbo” but when you click on it it classifies it as “Super Bulky Weight” which is what they call #6. Go figure.
But they have lots of beautiful colors in stock, the price has gone up but it is well worth it.
[…] we’re talking about chunky knitting, you can’t get much chunkier than this amazing arm-knit blanket. It’s of super-thick yarn, but you could use slightly felted wool roving, if you wanted. […]
Can you use craft tee for the yarn?
Sure
is there a reason you use this cast on instead of the quick cast method?
It tends to be a sturdier way to cast on with arm knitting.
Maggie
Loved the tutorial video planning on trying
The blanket soon… but I have to know song and artist in the background music…I have searched your comments…scoured utube for the lyrics
Please share…
The artist should be credited at the end and or in the description below my video.
Hello:) I’m not sure if this has already been asked, but I was wondering how much yarn I would need if I was trying to make a blanket that fit on a twin size bed. It looks like your blanket went the width of a queen and I don’t want mine to be that big but I don’t really know anything about knitting so idk how much less yarn I would use.
This blanket would fit a twin if you turn it length wise.
Hi Maggie,
Thanks so much for the tutorial. Your blanket looks fantastic! Just out of curiosity, does this yarn have a tendency to pill?
Thanks!
It hasn’t pilled for me yet. I may over many washes and uses, though I only use it in the fall and spring and have only washed it once.
How many rolls of worsted 4 yarn would it take to make the thickness of this one?
I could not find Couture Jazz yarn in my area. However, I did find a yarn made by the same company and it was the same size yarn. But the balls of yarn were about twice the size as the ones in your video. If the yarn I get is twice the size of the one you use, should I buy half of the amount of yarn? Also what would you recommend if I wanted to make this blanket in two different colours? Sorry if this seems like a silly question. I’m new at this.
P.s.: You are really talented!
Hi all, how many balls or yarn do you need to use for this blanket?
I want to make this, but the yarn in Cape Town (South Africa) Is really expensive, So i want to make sure I buy enough.
thank you
Isn’t this a heavy cover….seems it would be very heavy?
First off, I want to say I adore what you do! I come and check your site out alot for new tutorials and tips. 🙂
Second, I’ve tried arm knitting multiple times…I get the concept. Mine just always come out loose. I just purchased 8 skeins of “loops & threads chunky” yarn in white. Anyway, let me get to what I’m trying to say.
I’m a bigger gal. Is that the reason why my blanket holes are coming out so big? Should I double up?
No, your size has nothing to do with it (usually). The Loops and Threads Chunky is a lot thinner than the couture jazz, so the holes are naturally going to be larger. I have noticed that even though their yarn is classified as “6”, so is couture jazz’s. But CJ is so much bigger than L&T. You may need to order larger yarn, or find some large needles if you still want to use L&T.
OR, yes, you can double up and use two skeins at once.
Can’t wait to see more!!!

maggie,
I am planning on making a few blankets with this method for Christmas. I found a different yarn than the kind your using and planning on using two skains at a time. Would this yarn have a similar look?? It’s called Nernst blanket yarn. Size 6.
Thanks!!
I have never knitted before but I thought I got the hang of the first step of casting on to your right arm. However when I went to start knitting on my other arm, I would tighten it and end up with a large loop in between my arms. I have two loops per stitch on my right arm but in your video it looks like you only have one. Is that the problem? What am I doing wrong?
one stitch is one loop. I’m not sure I understand your question.

Thank you for this easy tutorial! I’ve been wanting to try this for awhile. Several people wanted their blanket wider. Is it possible to put many more stitches on your arm? I would think you would end up with stretched stitches when you bend your arm of the stitches go up over your elbow. Also, have you added fringe to any of these blankets? Lastly, when you wash and dry does the blanket become tighter knit or does it stay loose? I’d love to see more patterns!
Hi there. You wouldn’t be able to add stitches over your elbow. You can add a couple of extra stitches up to your elbow but then it gets too tight. I suggest knitting 2 blankets and stitching them together with matching yarn.
Hi, I found your blog through Pinterest and loved the idea of the blanket.
I am in the UK so used Tivoli Curve yarn which is similar to the one used.
It was great fun to make (even if it did take me a few attempts to cast on correctly! I didn’t leave the tail long enough!)
Thank you!
How many yards of I-cord would I need to make this blanket? Heck with pricey super-bulky yarn. I’ll make my own with scrap yarn on a knitting spool!
Hi Maggie!
I am wanting to make a blanket like this but would rather buy the yarn in store. Michael’s doesn’t sell the yarn you used. Do you know of any other yarn that would work and turn out the same as yours?
ThankS!
You can triple or quadruple up on super bulky strands of yarn. Unfortunately most stores don’t sell yarn as think as couture jazz.

Maggie, thank you so much for the wonderful video on arm knitting the blanket. I am dying to make one now. I found the yarn online, but it’s pricier than I want to spend to start out with. I found a Patons Cobble yarn that seems comparable. Have you ever used this before? Thanks!!
It should work!
I was SOOO looking forward to trying this one, and the scarf. They were both made out of the Couture Jazz yarn, which i am in LOVE with.. But I can’t find it anywhere for less then 7 or 8 dollars a roll, that would cost like $80 for the blanket alone 🙁
Does anyone know where else I can get it cheaper? I’ve tried amazon, beverlys, michaels, joann’s, premier yarn, lion head, and red heart. Hoping maybe I could find somehthing just as bulky and thick as the one in the video but no such luck yet.

Hi, new to arm knitting and I was wondering how many balls of yarn you buy to make one blanket?
Hi There Maggie, I’ve been looking online and have yet to find an answer, how many skeins of the lion brand quickie would I need to make a queen size blanket or even a king size?
Thanks dear 🙂
Hey Maggie, thanks for the great tutorial. Always been a crocheter myself but, started working at Michaels’ craft store up here in Canada a few months ago. Heard about arm knitting from a co-worker but, just never got around to trying it. 3:30am is a good time for trying new things, I guess. Checked out several tutorials on YouTube but I couldn’t make sense of any of them. Saw yours and, bingo. We don’t have the brand you used but, our equivalent is called Ginormous. Also, I wanted a wider blanket so I did 30 stitches across. Might be a little too wide. I’ve pulled it apart and am going to try 24 instead. If 18 makes a 3′ blanket, basic math would suggest that, another 6 stitches would add another foot. (Pretty smart, eh?) Another thing, being a man, my arms are just a bit bigger than yours. I can’t make the stitches tight enough to keep down the size of the holes. I’m going to try doing two threads together. Whether two super bulky 6’s, or a 6 and a 5, I haven’t decided. I’ll let you know how it turns out. This might just start me knitting proper. Could never get the hang of it before.
how many balls did u use for the yarn pls ??

Hi Maggie. I know you put a link to the yarn on your site, but I can’t find it anywhere for as cheap as you got it. Do you know where to get it cheap or do you have your own promo code or anything? Thanks.

I love this! If I wanted to make something 2 feet wide, do you think I should do 12 stitches wide, if 18 = about 3 feet?
I am SOOOOOO dissapointed. I ordered super chunky Stylecraft yarn and it’s just normal size!! There is no way I can make an arm knitted rug with it. Being in Australia makes it more challenging but I can’t believe I ordered this!! So, ‘super chunky’ is obviously not quite super enough. 🙁
I finished my first blanket tonight. I only used 6 skeins and I got the same size blanket you made. I tried to make the stitches as tight as possibke in my arm but for a first try I think it turned out OK. Do you know where to buy the merino wool and how much is needed to make a similar size blanket? I think that might work better for me.
How long would it take to make a twin blanket, and how many stitches should I do?
Hi Maggie! I was wondering what is the largest sized blanket you have ever arm knit? I have a queen bed that I would love to arm knit a throw blanket for but worried it might be impossible. Any advice? Thanks for your inspiration!
Awesome tutorial – took me about an hour and a half – just because I was watching a football game while I worked though!
I used Paton’s Cobbles which is also a “super bulky” but is not nearly the bulk of yours – should’ve doubled up my strands and I think it would have looked better – next time I suppose!
Thank you for making such an easy to follow tutorial 🙂
Wow Maggie, You are really amazing. The blanket seems very comfortable..
Hey Maggie!!
So I have tried this several times but keep ending up with yarn that wont tighten up after the first row. I am using Bernat Mega Bulky as it was the largest and softest I could find at my local Joann’s store (they had nothing as big as yours). If you have any pointers I would be incredibly grateful!
I have been wanting to arm knit a comfy blanket for so long! Thank you for the tutorial.
After you cast on your stitches and you begin knitting your rows, the first stitch will be tricky to tighten. Make sure you pay close attention to how I tighten it in my video. If that’s not the issue, then maybe you’re twisting the stitches the wrong way?
Looks fun, I’m gonna give it a try. Thank you for sharing
Could you give an estimation of how many yards of yarn were needed? I’ve purchased some Loops & Threads Gianormous (spelling?) to attempt my first arm knit throw. I want to make sure I have enough. Thanks in advance!

I’d love to make this in 2 colors. Can you tell me a good way to do it?
Hi Maggie,
Is it possible to intertwine two colors for arm knitting? I would want to go back and forth between two colors for every other row (if that makes sense). For example, I’d cast on with white, then do the first row in blue, 2nd row white, third row blue, etc. Thanks!
Instructions were great, easy to follow and I love your dog! Going to get the yarn tomorrow! Can’t wait to try this! Thanks!
`What wool do you use?

Hi! I am new to arm knitting, and was wondering if you could be so kind as to answer a few questions for me. I am looking to make a chunky arm knit blanket for my mother in law. Only problem is she is allergic to wool and has an aversion “scratchy” fabric. I can’t seem to find a site/store that sells a super chunky t-shirt yarn. Any suggestions on where to buy? I thought of making my own, but have no idea how wide I would have to make the cuts to get them to equal the size of the merino wool. Please help me. Thanks.
Do you think t-shirt yarn would work for this?

Could you either tell me how to do that in step by step instructions or possibly make a short tutorial? Anything would be great! Thanks Maggie!

So, I have tried this several times. First time with the 5ft long tail as suggested, I got through about 10 stitches before running out of tail. I tried it again with about 10 feet and ran out before I hit 18 stitches.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I wanted to make my blanket about 4 and a half feet wide.

Hello! I am following your Big Arm Knit blanket where you used 12 skeins of the Premier Yarns Mega Tweed yarn with 74 yards in each skein. I bought 4 skeins of a #6 yarn and each is 220 yards. Should I cut each skein to make 12 so that I can hold 3 pieces as one strand or should I just use one as one strand? Thank you!
Would you suggest the bernat mega bulk yarn weight #7? I’m trying to find cheap and this is the best deal to stay within the weight #7 on yarn Canada. They’re 64 yards a ball and buying three 192 yards. Your blanket took 181.5 yards same weight so I should be okay. Right?

Hi Maggie,
So i’m wondering how long is it to knit a whole blanket (your size for instance). And is it heavy? I want to bring it back to vietnam and i’m afraid that it’ll weigh my luggage down. How can i wash it? Hand-washed or it’s washing machine safe? Thank you a lot !
The sound on my computer isn’t working so I’m following pretty good, the only question I have is if you pre tie all the skeins of yarn together before you cast the stitches on?
I’m late to the game here and just ordered my yarn. I ordered 8 balls like it says in the written supply list, but then I just watched the video and you mention using 11 balls? I already put the order in, so I do hope a decent lap blanket can be made with just 8! :-/ Thanks for sharing!
Hi,
I just found your video via Pinterest and have been wanting to make one of these cool, bulky blankets! Can you tell me how you care for this after? Can you machine wash something like this on delicate and toss in dryer? Thanks so much! Jill
Hi Maggie. I bought some of the Couture Jazz yarn as shown in the video. What I bought said it was weight number 6 but I understand the company has now relabeled this to weight number 7. What I got was not nearly as bulky as what it appeared you were using in the video. I also had huge holes in my blanket even though my arms are not that big and I tried to get the stitches tight. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi! I was just wondering if there is a big difference between the 6 – super bulky and the 7 – jumbo? Would I still be able to do this?

How many skeins would I need to make a queen size blanket
maggie…if you have to buy several balls of yarn to complete a blanket…how do you transition between each ball during the knitting process?
How many balls of yarn do you need to make a 18 stitch blanket ??
I finally made my blanket today – it was a bit tricky but once I got the hang of it I was ok. The hardest thing is keeping it tight. Also, if I do another, I would change two things: 1) I would leave the knot tails longer and weave them in – I don’t like how the but ends ended up showing on parts of my blanket, and 2) I would try to make it wider. This blanket is a little too narrow – more like the top of a sleeping blanket. I think if 6 stitches = 1 foot, I would try to do 24 or even 30 stitches and attempt to make it a little more square or rectangular. It does look nice draped along the foot of the bed but it’s not as practical as I had hoped it would be.
Just looking for some clarification. You said in the tutorial text on this page that you used 8 skeins of yarn for a 3’x5′ blanket, but elsewhere you’re saying you used 11.
I didn’t see any other comments asking this but when doing the cast on row is it the long tail that should be getting shorter or the working yarn?

This was an amazing and simple tutorial! Very easy to follow along. Will be honest, even if you’ve been doing this for years, making a blanket this large would probably not take only 45 minutes. 18 stitches at the beginning was a little small for me so I went with 25. Needed about 9 skeins for a decent sized blanket.

Maggie,
Your blog post says you used 8 skeins of yarn. So that is what we bought. However, now we watched your video and you said you used 11 skeins. This is inconsistent and now we do not have enough to make our Christmas gift.

Hi Maggie, I made a blanket inspired by your design. Are you on Ravelry? I’d love to link my project to your pattern.
I can’t believe all the false advertising, photos showing blankets that are made from a complete different yarn , blankest made & sold that are not what the photo shows. ( especially the cheap China WALMART & EBAY ones) Then the Price of the correct yarn, cost 200.00 to make it.Very Very few can afford to buy Merino wool at the price it is. J (just the rich)Then just because it super cool blanket that almost everybody would like to have, but the money hungry greedy manufacturers & retailers jack up the price so high only the rich can afford to buy it. You sure can tell that the world & so many people are going to Hell cause it sure won’t be tolerated in Heaven. Getting a rich man into Heaven will be like getting a camel threw the eye of a needle. Math: 9-24. Maybe some manufactures might read this & think twice? Well my piddly disability check will never cover that cost, so it’s angers me that I will never be able to make one. But I am going to come up with a better, cheaper Idea, since I have been yarning since I was %, so about 55 years, & the pattern or blanket itself will only be available to low income people.
Hi there, if I use less skeins of yarn (9) what would the dimensions of the blanket be approximately?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I don’t generally knit, but have a friend’s birthday coming up and they LOVE blankies for cool nights watching TV or even sitting outdoors. I gave it a go and, even watching the video over and over at every step, I went from don’t know to done in about 2 hours. My tension will get better when I make the next one, I guess, but I am over the moon happy. PS I used Mondial Express (50/50 Merino wool and Acrylic. Handwash only.) and used 4 and a bit 200g skeins, 21 stitches and 20 rows (too loose) for about the same size as your blanket. Thanks again and again for your help.

Hi! I’ve looked at a few difficult tutorials and yours is definitely most proficient. I just have two questions. At the top of your post you stated the products used as 8 skeins of the premier couture jazz, but in the comments below you had mentioned the use of 11. I’m just trying to verify how much yarn I would actually need for the project. Also, I have chosen to use a Loops & Threads product, the Chunky Grande Big (jumbo 7) each package is 300 grams, and 32 yards. I had purchased 7, and when I compare the yarns I feel as though I should have enough but just wondering if you could tell me your thoughts before I start this project. Thank you!

Maybe Street Fighter would remain dead, but there certainly would’ve been more fighting games released by other companies besides Capcom. Now, yeah, SF4 did enjoy a lot of mainstream success, but there certainly were other fighting games in the works. SNK was already working on their next-gen KOF title, Blazblue had been released in 2008, and Tekken would’ve almost certainly seen more releases. Now, maybe some of those legacy franchises wouldn’t have come back, like Killer Instinct or MvC, but fighting games would definitely continue to be released.
