How to arm knit

Keywords: armknit,

In this DROPS video we show you how to arm knit with a bulky yarn, and in the end of this video we show how to arm knit a scarf/neckwarmer made with three strands DROPS Snow (we used 6 skeins and it goes twice around the neck).

Start with making a slipknot and slip it over your wrist. Hold the yarn in the other hand and start cast on. Cast on the number of stitches you wish. Adjust tension so loops are not too loose or tight. Knit to you have your desired length. Binding off with knit stitches, you knit the stitches and then keep passing the next to last knitted stitch over the last knitted stitch. When 1 stitch remains, cut the thread, and pull yarn through last stitch.

The video above can be used in the following patterns

Hei, er det sånn at man må bruke tjukk tråd eller kan man bruke tynn tråd.

Hei Sine. Du kan bruke den tykkelsen på tråden du selv ønsker, kommer an på hva du ønsker å lage og hvordan du vil at det skal se ut. Ved tynn tråd kan det se veldig hullet ut, men med veldig tykk tråd kan man se at de er noe strikket. mvh DROPS design

Surprenant et impressionnant. Que peut-on faire d'autre comme ouvrages ? Comment raccorde-t-on les pelotes ?

Bonjour Mamenko, vous trouverez également une couverture ou un tour de cou - le raccord des pelotes se fait de la même façon que pour un tricot classique. Bon tricot!

Hoi Monique. In deze video zet ze 15 st op, maar je mag het ook zelf bepalen afhankelijk van hoe groot je de sjaal wilt hebben. Veel plezier mee
