How to do Arm knitting?

Knitting without needles seems impossible? We prove you wrong in this video. Discover arm knitting or the art of knitting with your arms.
Easy and fun, arm knitting is an essential manual activity. This creative hobby regularly returns on social networks as soon as the days become colder and greyer.

Do you want to knit a soft XXL blanket or a cozy knitted blanket for your cocooning evenings? The solution is arm knitting! Simple, fast and modern, giant knitting revisits the codes of classic knitting.
Ideal for beginners in knitting, it is enough to simply replace our big knitting needles and our hooks by our arms... or our hands. And we have to admit, the result is pretty amazing.

You will also be able to make baskets, baskets for your pets, rugs, cushion covers, as well as large scarves, hats or snoods for next winter in no time. Nice gift ideas to offer for a birthday or to put under the Christmas tree.

In our video, we show you two methods to learn how to cast on your DIY project and how to cast off stitchesat the end of the knitting process once your work is finished.

Knitting is far from cheesy. You'll love knitting chunky yarn with your arms, but also with your hands.

WHICH WOOL TO KNIT WITH THE ARMS ?

To knit with your arms, you'll need a fairly large size of knitting yarn. The XXL - Maille name is Yvette - Kesi Art is ideal for knitting with the hands without needles. DMC handy wool balls or XXL roving wool also give very nice results. You can also use coarse wool like Stop wool.

The thicker the wool, the faster you can complete your knitting project. Another tip: knit with several wools at the same time to have an even thicker yarn.

These maxi yarns are ideal for knitting with your arms. Beware, addiction in sight!

Bonjour, il fallait deux pelotes de 250gr pour tricoter ce panier pour lapin/chat : https://www.perlesandco.com/tutoriels/t9721-tuto-diy-tricoter-un-panier-pour-chat-ou-lapin-avec-les-mains.html Donc, une trÚs grande quantité sera nécessaire pour un plaid mais nous ne vendons plus ce type de laine.
