Arm Knit a Blanket in One Hour!
Posted on February 2, 2013 by Maggie in Knit and CrochetThe fastest way to knit a blanket!
To learn how to arm knit watch these videos:
And simply cast on 30 or more stitches depending on how large you would like it.
This was about 12 rows in. I had to then be done for the night because I started to get low on yarn.
As you can see in that picture I used 3 skeins of yarn at one time. All super bulky yarns. That seems to work best to keep the blanket looking full.
I am going to grab more yarn today and will finish it up and post pictures tonight! A video tutorial is COMING SOON! So check back!

Beautiful! so amazing.
Can’t wait for the instructions on this one! Awesome
hello this is amazing and looks pretty easy…however i am VERY new at knitting and have four kids one of which is 2…if I needed to take a break from the project what would I do with the part that is on my arm?..plz don’t think i’m an idiot for asking….lol
LOVE THIS and your scarf!!!!
Great question! haha. I actually had to take mine off my arms because I ran out of yarn. What I did was, I found a piece of left over electrical wire (my husband is an electrician) and put all the stitches on there making sure to get them all! And then I bent up the edges and put it in a safe place so no one would touch it.
Hope this helps!
This is amazing I can’t wait to show my grandaughters as they will love it. Thanks so much!
How many skeins in total did you use for your blanket?? I have a friend with her little one in the hospital and I want to make one for her ASAP
Thanks!
Hello! So far I used 3 skeins of super bulky yarn, I just bought 3 more which should be enough to finish it. So 6 total:)
What type of yarn did you use?
Wool Ease Thick and Quick in the color Linen.
How large do you estimate the finished blanket will be?
I will have to get back to you on that one with exact measurements. It will be more like a throw blanket rather then one to cover your bed with.
Just finished two scarfs. I love this it’s so fun! Can’t wait for the video on how to knit a blanket
When you add the next ball of yarn, do you simply tie a knot to attach the ends? I’m also interested to hear what the final dimensions are when you finish. Thanks!
Yes, that’s all I’m going to do. And I should have it finished up today so check back!
Love this! I can’t wait for the tutorial. I found your scarf tutorial off pinterest and I really want to try it. I suppose I better start off with the scarf before I attempt to make the blanket because I’ve never knitted before in my life! Thanks so much for making all of these tutorials.
I never knitted before and I so want to try this!! I am going out and buying yarn! I love the blanket and scarf! I hope I can do this Thanks! I’ll let you know how it turns out!
This looks beautiful, can’t wait to see the video! Thank you Maggie!
I love how my scarf turned out and am really interested to see your final product and how you use it in your home! I love the textures of the yarns you are using.
Can hardly wait to share this with my Thursday evening knitting friends. We are always looking for new things to try. Thank you
Can you make a video of your proses of making the arm knitted blanket?
It will be up tonight:)
Is it possible to make a blanket with one ball of yarn?
No. That wouldn’t be enough yarn. I tell you in my video how much I use.
How much yarn does this take (without tripling up, I guess)? I am excited to try this and need some supplies! Thank you so much!
Hello! I bought 2 balls of super bulky yarn and had about 1/4 of each one left at the end. I don’t have the packaging that said how many yards.
How do you tie it off once you are finished??? I am pretty new to this:)
If you watch to the end of the video I show how.
Yes:) it would make it fuller.
