How To – Arm Knit a Blanket in One Hour with Video Tutorial!
Posted on February 16, 2013 by Maggie in Knit and Crochet- Cast on 32 stitches
- Arm knit for 23 rows
- Bind off and knot it at the end
- Weave in the ends of yarn
Materials I bought:
- 4 Skeins of Silky Twist Super Bulky Yarn
- 2 Skeins of Bernat Roving Bulky Yarn
I had about 1/4 left from the last 3 skeins of yarn I used. Probably enough to make an infinity scarf!!:)

- Holly on How To – Arm Knit a Blanket in One Hour with Video Tutorial!
I just watched your arm knitting video and it made me want to try this so badly! Then I saw the link for the blanket. In the video for the scarf, you used two pieces of yarn at the same time to cast on 12 stitches. Do you do the same thing for the blanket (essentially 16 double stitches)?
Hello. For the blanket I used 3 balls of yarn at one time. 2 silky twisted and 1 bernat roving.
Thanks!
I love this so much! I found the scarf one on pinterest and have spent the last few days figuring out what kind and colour of wool to get (in the uk!)- now I want to make a blanket too!!
It looks so beautiful and soft.
I love your tutorial! I have made the infinity scarf, but now want to try the blanket. My question is, one you finish the first 3 balls of yarn , how to you continue on with the next three? How do you connect them?
I wondered the same thing! If I can fit it on my arm, I’m going to try to make it a little bigger. Was shocked at how easy the scarf was, and am so excited to make the blanket!
As with all knitting, when connecting a new ball, you just take the end piece that is connected to your project, and tie a little knot connecting it to the new ball’s strand. Tie it really tightly (I do 3 knots), then trim the excess and continue knitting!
I love the scarf and blanket! About how big is the finished blanket? I may have missed this in the video. Thanks!
Is it possible to make it with one ball of yarn?
Hi – never saw this before…love love love it! You make it look very easy
. Thank you!
What are the dimensions of the blanket when finished? An estimate would be fine if you do not want to measure. It looks big, but just curious!
Hmm maybe 5′ by 3 or 4′. Good size for one person.
Yay!! I just need to pick up some more yarn now!! Can’t wait to try this. The only problem I have is short arms, lol. Thank you again for sharing such a wonderful idea with us!!
You said you used 6 balls of yarn. After you finished with the 3, how did you connect them to continue with e blanket? I’m hoping to make one this weekend but would like to know all the steps before I go out and buy all the yarn! Thank you!
just tie them together. use a simple knot but knot it 3 times for good measure
HoW do you make the stitches tighter?
Tighten it on your arm by pulling the working yarn.
Hey Maggie – your videos are wonderful and you are a great teacher!! Wondering if you do much regular knitting or crocheting. One key that I have found when working with any yarn is to start from the MIDDLE of the yarn skein, NOT the end of the thread on the outside. You’ll find a large “lump” of knotty yarn inside the skein, pull it out and you will find the BEGINNING of the yarn skein. If you work from the outside you will often have lots of knots happening. You maybe do this, it just didn’t appear that way on the video. It really helps a lot!
Keep up the great ideas!! You are making knitting so accessible for beginners!! Thanks Maggie!
