How to Arm Knit an Infinity Scarf

Arm knitting is a simple and fun technique that allows you to create cozy and warm infinity scarves without the need for knitting needles. Here are the steps to arm knit an infinity scarf:

Materials you'll need: - Super bulky yarn (at least 70 yards for a small scarf, up to 200 yards for a larger one) - Your arms

Step 1: Create a slip knot Start by creating a slip knot in your yarn. Make a loop with the yarn, then tuck the tail through the loop and tighten.

Step 2: Cast on Slip the loop onto your right arm, and position it at the base of your hand. Hold the tail of the yarn with your left hand, and use your right hand to grab the yarn from behind your arm and pull it through the loop. This creates a new loop on your arm. Repeat this process until you have cast on the desired number of stitches (typically around 8-12 stitches for a small scarf, up to 20 stitches for a larger one).

Step 3: Start knitting Hold the working yarn (the one attached to the skein of yarn) in your right hand. Bring it behind your right arm, then over the top of your left arm, and back behind your left arm. Slip your right hand between the two strands of yarn that are hanging down from your left arm, and grab the working yarn. Pull it through the loop on your right arm, then drop the loop off your arm.

Step 4: Continue knitting Repeat the process in step 3 until you have reached the desired length for your scarf. If you run out of yarn, you can add a new skein by tying the ends of the old and new yarn together in a tight knot and then continuing to knit.

Step 5: Bind off Once you have reached the desired length, bind off your stitches. To do this, knit two stitches onto your right arm, then pull the first stitch over the second stitch and drop it off your arm. Knit another stitch onto your right arm, then pull the second stitch over the third stitch and drop it off your arm. Repeat this process until you have bound off all stitches.

Step 6: Join the ends Take the first and last stitches of your scarf and tie them together in a tight knot. Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.

Congratulations, you have just arm-knitted your very own infinity scarf!
