Love this project and wondered if these needles and yarn are available in the UK as I will be returning there in April. I fancy knitting a blanket next. Have taken up knitting again after a 30 year gap! Just finished a simple sweater for myself.
If they aren’t available on Loopy Mango in the UK try thickandfinn.com
Hi Maggie, I love your page and all the arm knitting videos & patterns. I decide to do the blanket and I’ve run into a problem in trying to fit 25 cast on stitches on my arm. I’m using 3 strands of baby blanket yarn. My stitches get tight & I can’t get them to move very easily up my arm. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
Thank you.
When casting on that many and trying to keep them tight it is quite hard to move them around. Worst case scenerio you may have to keep them a little bit loose on your arm resulting in larger stitches.
Hi Maggie..,. When you get a chance, can you put the pattern up written out in your blog. Our computer has been cantankerous lately( could not get pattern to come up on that prompt listed). Sorry. I don’t mean to bother you, I just need the blanket pattern done old- school printed somewhere( or on You Tube). I ordered the Loopy Mango needles, ( love that co.!), now I just need yarn amounts and instructions and I am set to go!
Thanks so much. Nancy G.
PS: can this be done as a scarf too? If so, how? Ma y thanks. Love this Mega Tweed. Not sold here, but am able to order it. It’s awesome. Nancy G
Can’t get the patter to load???? Hey, how about YouTube???
The pattern is not available until I finish my blanket so I can recommend the right amount of yarn.
Nancy, did she ever answer you on the pattern? I can’t locate it either however there are similar ones I think on Raverly.com. Let me know if she answers you. I am interested as well. Try out the other site though…neat place and lots of free patterns.
As I stated in the post I will share the pattern when it’s completed. Check back soon!
Where can I get the pattern?
I will post it soon when I’m finished with the pattern
Hi.
Is the blanket finished yet. Was wandering when you might post the pattern…
Many thanks
Just about. Bought 2 more skeins this week and I think they will be my last 2.
This is so pretty. Thank you for sharing. ????
approximately how big is the blanket when finished?
3’x 5′
When you get a chance would you be able to post a video of this blanket, i’ve only done arm knitting and would love to learn how to use needles!
Hi Maggie. I saw your arm knitting blanket tutorial. The store near me did not have that particular yarn so I got the premier yarns mega tweed(like in this pattern) can I use the same technique from the arm knitting tutorial with this yarn? Thank you
Hey Maggie, I’m a college student and I would like to start a knitting project during winter break to keep myself busy. I have tried to arm knit a blanket using your tutorial but I have come to a conclusion that it didn’t come out as how I wanted because I wanted the blanket to be big (my arms are too short).. ): Is there any way you can make a video on this blanket? I would love to learn how to knit this 😀

Hi Maggie, is the pattern available yet, and also can I use straight needles, as I find it difficult to use circular needles? What size would I need. Thank you,
