About this deal

I followed the arm knitting instructions, and I didn’t make a chunky knit blanket. When I was knitting, I liked how it looked but, when I finished, however, I wasn’t happy at all. Note: I have two updates to this post- one 6 months after I made the blanket and one a year and a half later when I finally found the right wool and method to make one of these blankets. You can read the updates at the end of the post. Here we are, almost a year later. I wanted to drop an update about what’s happened with my chunky knit blanket… I did a whole post on their Velky Blanket and Peruvian highland wool. After everything, all the methods, all the wool, this is the one that I was FINALLY happy with. the main thing is that they sit flat and the bottom of them is roughly the same size as the end of the rods.

I went hunting for the best “learn how to arm knit” tutorial online and on Youtube. They are all, for the most part, the same. They all promised a blanket in less than an hour with step by step instructions. Perfect!

HOW TO MAKE YOUR NEEDLES

To make your needles smooth, and allow the yarn to slide more easily across them, wrap tape around the rest of the poster tube as well. Well, these extra-large creations can be attributed to the extreme knitting movement -- a movement that has definitely taken the fiber world by storm. In many ways, giant knitting patterns have caused a rejuvenation of sorts.

As I mentioned before, I was going to keep you all updated on the progress of this chunky blanket. And, here it is! Update: 6 Months Later So, clearly, arm knitting wasn’t for me. The results fell flat. If you like a loose-knit, or if your arms are small enough to keep the stitches tight together, you should give it a try. I now had 14 skeins of wool! If it didn’t work this time, everyone I know would get a beige scarf for Christmas. Ho, ho, ho. After a bit of research, I decided 55mm knitting needles were what I needed. This is how to make handmade knitting needles: By my third month, the blanket (with very limited use) had pilled so much, I had to go over it with a razor for an hour to make it look presentable again.I’m not saying all these arm knitting tutorials are wrong. I am just saying that there are reasons why arm knitting might not work for some. Fancy giving giant knitting a go? We’ll show you how to make your own super size needles on a budget, and how to use them to knit a scarf from our chunky Crazy Sexy Wool.

Recently, you may have seen an inordinate number of images on the internet of oversized blankets, enormous scarves, and unbelievably large knitting needles and thought to yourself, “Huh?” Drill - with 2 drill bits, one the size of the whole in the drawer pulls, the other larger for countersinking your screw heads.

There are many benefits to knitting, but the true beauty of the hobby is the ability to make so many gorgeous items out of yarn, a pair of needles, and a bit of imagination. Start by taping an empty yarn cone to each poster tube – this forms the pointy tips of the knitting needles. If you don’t have one, make a cone from a flat piece of cardboard. The giant knitting needle method doubled the time and cost. But, I did end up with something I loved vs. a big ball of unraveled yarn or 14 beige scarfs. I liked the results far better vs. arm knitting because it wasn’t full of holes and didn’t look netted. This giant yarn blanket added so much texture to my bedroom and seemed to be the thing the room needed. Weird how one item can make or break a space like that. I split the knitting between two evenings. All in all, it took me about 2 hours to finish up my chunky yarn blanket.
