Arm knitting - a snuggle blanket
Arm knitting is a simple, hands-on way to make a chunky blanket using your arms instead of knitting needles. Using super chunky yarn, you create large loops over your arms, building each row by pulling the yarn through the previous loops. The oversized stitches work up quickly, creating a soft, cosy blanket with a relaxed handmade texture.
It is a great beginner-friendly project because you do not need any specialist tools, just chunky yarn, your hands and a little space to work. Once you understand the basic loop-and-pull technique, the blanket grows quickly and can often be completed in one sitting.
