I have to personally thank you because my daughter and I have been through a lot since Aug 30. I lost my job of 13 years with no reason, I lost my 21 year old daughter, cannot find a job right now, and then we get hit by a car. Our lives have been flipped upside down! We have been affected Physically , Emotionally and Mentally.. We found our Peace. In yarn.. I watched multiple videos and I could not figure out how to arm knit UNTIL I saw your video. When you slowed everything down I FINALLY got it!!!! I watched it over and over and I can happily tell you that I have made 2 scarves already and I am HOOKED!!!! You helped us find our PEACE and we THANK YOU!!!! Signed,,, Amy & Aliyah.. 2 New Fans
I gotta say that I watched 4 videos on arm knitting and I just couldn't get it in my brain how it worked. I was so frustrated and ready to give up and I happened upon this video. Thank God! Your instructions were sooo easy to follow and it made perfect sense! (I think that other people were just over complicating it). Anyhoo, after watching your video, I busted out 2 of these in less than 2 hours! I'm pretty sure that the next ones I make will take even LESS time! Thank you sooo much for keeping it simple!
+ANGELA WOLFSON Yay! You're welcome. So glad you enjoyed my tutorial. Feel free to check out the other 300+ crafty tutorials I have on my channel! Happy arm knitting!
+TheCraftyGemini Oh ps.. I've made 2 more since watching the video! Each one only took 40 minutes. At this rate, I'll be able to whip one out in 20 minutes! 😆
Out of all the arm knitting videos that I've watched, this is the only one that I truly understood because it was explained in a step by step manner. Thank you so much!
THIS is the BEST tutorial for arm knitting a scarf!!! I have watched and rewatched many videos (via my Printerest Feed) and I just couldn't get the hang of it. I searched RUclips and BAM - I found you! Thank you so much for making this tutorial and the special slow mo, attention to finger placement (I like the pincher position and sling shot references!) You are awesome!! Thank you again so much!
I am 72 and did know this kind of craft existed. I am so amazed how lovely these are. I am on a fixed limited income so I have never tried the yarns you used. They are beautiful. You are amazing. Looking forward to watching more of your videos Thanks so much!!!!!
This is the first tutorial (out of many) that I haven't wanted to turn off in the first 20 seconds. Seems everyone else just likes the sound of their voice and the sound "ummmm". THANK YOU for being straight to the point and interesting to watch! It's obvious you're a great instructor!
My daughter started watching videos on infinity scarves. I showed her your video and it all finally clicked for her. Your is the best I've seen...Thank you:)
I kept searching and trying to figure out the other tutorials and could not for the life of me understand until i found this video. Thank you so much for the helpful video and making my christmas crafts a success!
I made a scarf withing 30 minutes after watching your video! I needed a homemade gift for a friend of mine before the party because the theme was homemade gifts. It was perfect! thank you so much!
out of all the tutorials on youtube your tutorial was the most helpful, on my first day I ended up knitting 3 infinities can't wait to review other videos to see whats fun to make !!!
Hi ! I looked at many arm knit videos, I have to say I was so impressed with your tutorial ! You are clear and precise, and I love the slow motion, detailed instructions. I am currently in recovery from a hip replacement and I am not a "still person" being winter on top of that, I have been going a little stir crazy. I decided that I wanted to try to do this cowl, I had some chunky yarn and thought I could make it work. I told a few of my friends and we decided to make it a party!! Some white chicken chili, mini ham sliders, a cheese board, and of course wine and chocolate. The four of us sat around the living room ( We have fire stick, so your video played on the big screen TV, which was GREAT!! ) We were able to pause, back up and move through the video as we needed to get each technique. We had such a great time and each of us created a unique and fun cowl. Three of us, casted on 12 stitches, one went with the six as in the video. I dropped a stitch and had to go back once, Carey had issues with a tangled yarn, and Robin who was our six stitcher, completely redid to make her stitches tighter, while we casted on our other six. In the end we all have something beautiful chocked full of great memories. Thank you for such a great video. We are planning to do this again in a few weeks to make a Valentines assortment of cowls!! Be Blessed!!
I've been knitting for years (with needles not my arm) and thought I'd try this. After watching countless videos that either bored me or confused me, THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST VIDEO out there. You explain without complicating it. You're explanation of the Norwegian cast on is IMPECCABLE. I'm going to use it to teach my daughters.
hi Vanessa, this tutorial is very helpful, but after finishing the second row, I always end up getting a big unwanted loop!could u pls help, I have been trying this for such a long time now. .
hi I've been wanting to learn to arm knit for ages now and i haven't been able to find a video that explains it as clearly as you did, before i found this video i was so frustrated and i was about to give up but i watched yours and wipped out a scarf in about 30 mins and i love it to pieces i haven't taken it off all day and its almost 30 degrees today i absolutely love it thanks heaps
OMG.. where have you been.. I have asked alot of people to teach me how to arm knitt..and not a one help me.. so I googled arm knitt and you came up first.!! WOW your AWESOME.. it took me 2 times to watch.. and then I was off and running ,like you said.!! and I love your video. you taught me how in so LITTLE time I love Arm Knitting now.. its addicting.!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.!!! You have so much info and details I caught on and LOVE ARM KNITTING.!!!..THANKS.!! YOUR MY HERO.!!! :) I did mine with 3 skiens(Harley colors..2 orange 1 black).and 13 rolls.. you made this SO EASY TO DO.!!
I am working on spending some of my time doing productive fun things for myself, instead of ruminating through my depression and anxiety I had so much fun sitting here learning how to make this scarf. You are easy to understand and SO pleasant. Your voice is very friendly. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I will definitely subscribe.
I was extremely intimated about arm knitting. after watching your video I will definitely give this a try. I've been wanting to make gifts and now I can. Alot of other people who did this don't explain as thoroughly as you or provide a good vantage point like you. you are the best especially for beginners like me. Thanks!
Hands down one of the best arm knitting scarf tutorials on here.. and I been watching them off and on all day ! I know it's very easy and I know I'll ace it but I was a little confused on how to cast on and also how to make it wide or narrow and how to make it long.. you've cleared all of the confusion up for me and so now I know exactly how I wanna do it ! Thanks so much !
After watching this simple clear easy and fun video I've litterally become obsesed I soon made a full blanket from this tutorial.LOVE IT!! Thanks soooo very much!
This really is the best tutorial for arm knitting. I was really freaked out when I decided to try this and have skeins of yarn just waiting to be used. I have to say I CANNOT wait to go home and try this now. Your video explains everything and I am no longer afraid to start arm knitting. Dope.
This video was correctly named "BEST TUTORIAL". You did it again! You provided an easy to follow video that anyone can use. Thanks, and even though I can't keep up with you because I want to make everything you offer, keep doing what you do.
You are a great teacher! I tried arm knitting a few years ago when I first saw it on RUclips. I ended up with a mess and was all tangled up - and decided it really wasn't for me! I decided to try it again when I saw your video - instant success! Thank you so much!
You explain everything so well. You make it so easy for everyone to understand. I really like it when you do the slow motion. Thank you for making videos. Keep up the good work.
I love watching your videos. You are always so clear and precise with your directions, you speak clearly and are simply a joy to learn from. Thank you!
I made two of these for a young college graduate in the neighborhood and added a scarf pin that can be used for either scarf! Love love love this process. Thanks so much for the best tutorial ever!
I can now say i learned how to knit my own scarf while my knees were recovering. This was actually enjoyable , easy, and productive. Thank you for doing these videos.
I would like to say thanks for creating a video where the view reflects the exact way that I have to hold my hands. I am a person who needs to hold a map upside down if I am traveling south. I may be in the minority but wanted to comment that your video will be helpful to others like me. I tried many other videos, at one point standing behind my laptop and looking over the top in an effort to position my hands correctly. Yours was the only one I was able to follow. I also appreciate the additional slow-motion views. I have completed my first cowl. It may not be gorgeous but it's very cozy to wear around the house on cold days. Hopefully I am on my way to creating some home-made gifts for the holidays.
I´ve watched like about 3 arm knitting tutorials and didn´t get it AT ALL. Thank God i found you!!Your is instruction is indeed the BEST!!!Thank you soooo much!! Best regards from Germany :)
thank you so much. my 9 yr old daughter and I made one from your tutorial. only one we didn't get frustrated with. she even made her own, I just helped at the very end. Great job and thank you again!
I was riding the NYC subway the other day and a woman sitting across from me was wearing a very interesting chunky scarf. I asked about it and she told me about arm knitting. I viewed your video and made my first scarf. Your directions are excellent and so easy to follow. It wsa a fun snowy day activity.
This is a great video. it shows you details, slow motion and how to end and bind the two ends together. I really haven't found a video that shows all of that. So happy to find a good beginner video!
I did it!! I made my first scarf, and then the next day helped my niece make her first scarf. We both was so excited. Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful!!!
I started one last night to practice. It is coming out awesome! I paused it a couple of times because I am making mine wider than the one for the tutorial. Thanks again for the great tutorial :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! After spending part of the day looking up different tutorial videos, and trying to arm knit from them, I found your video. You are fantastic! In no time at all I was arm knitting, and actually understood right away all the steps. The other videos from different sites, Michaels included, were so confusing and frustrating. I especially liked towards the end when you explaint about the amount of wool used, and the amount leftover, and how many cowls you can actually make from 2 skeins. Fantastic teaching video, a must see by all who wish to learn this technique. Thank you again!!!!!!!!
OMG THIS REALLY IS THE BEST!!! Ive always wanted to knit and once this whole arm knitting thing became popular i have been saying i would try. I watch sooooooooo mmmaaannnyyy videos!! But this is the first one that helped me get it!!
This tutorial has saved my sanity! I'm scheduled to do an arm-knitting demo at work in about 2 hours (never having done it before) and the written/pictured instructions I was sent were completely unhelpful. So I youtubed, found the same instructions via video, and was still so lost. But someone mentioned your tutorial in one of the comments, and now I know exactly what to do! You are amazing!!
Sewing the ends is more like weaving them in and then knotting it like she showed. Great video! I couldn't make one this quickly doing regular knitting. Thanks for showing us how to make these scarves.
I was totally confused and I didnt think I was going to figure it out, but I kept trying, rewinding and rewatching, though not neat, I got it. Practice. Thanks so much. I checked other pages and this one is totally the best.
Great video showing the arm crochet technique Vanessa!! I love all your videos because you take the time to show (slowly) assuming we are all new to the craft, which is AWESOME & COMPLETELY MAKES SENSE to us viewers!! THANK YOU!!!
I can't thank you enough because everything was in details because I watched many tutorials and it's not their fault but I'm so bad with knitting and anything with hands. To my surprise I could knit while watching your tutorial. OMG finally I can't believe it ! Million thumps up 😍
Have made several in the past year and needed a refresher course and thankful I found your site. Your demo and explanations were easy to follow (even for a beginner) and your slow mo really helped. Will recommend your site to others if they want to give it a try. Thanks so much!!
Great video! Excellent instruction, you are a GREAT teacher, so easy to follow. The slow motion stitches are incredible. Thank you, looking forward to more of your videos!
Hallelujah!!!! The all-time-best visual and verbal explanation I have seen and have been able to follow to a completed project. Thank you. The camera angle was spot on. I needed to see the angle that you came at "V" in the yarn. The slingshot opening of the hands - perfect. Seeing the tail and working thread clearly separated on the screen was also very helpful. So yeah, thank you! =D Ohh! I also liked that you verbalized which loop (second **Squee**) went over your hand during cast on was very helpful too. Did I say thank you? Cause yeah.. thanks! =D
Saw another tutorial and it was way too complicated for me. So glad I ran across yours! I made this cowl for my 7 yr. old daughter and she LOVES it!! Living here in Colorado a scarf is definitely needed but she hates regular scarfs because how they feel on her neck but this cowl is so warm and soft she has no complaints. Next thing I'll be making is a skirt thanks to one of your other tutorials. I love skirts but being a plus size woman I find it hard to find cute ones or ones that fit me since I'm very short but now I won't have that problem I'll just make my own! Thanks a bunch!!
I took a class at Michaels on Saturday and I should have waited and just watched your video. It was much easier to see how to do it by watching the video...I loved it! Can't wait to make some cowls.
This truly was an EASY tutorial. I am a beginner knitter with needles and decided to give arm knitting a try. I just made my first infinity scarf in, literally, a half hour. Thanks for the great video!
Love the color and the scarf you knitted. I would LOVE to learn to do this. I know nothing about knitting. I did at one time know how to chain stitch by crocheting, but this is totally diffrerent. I'm going to get my yarn & watch this wonderfully guided video over & over until I am confident that I have it down pat! Thanks for the lesson!
Thank you! I've watched so many arm knitting tutorial videos and this one is by far the easiest to follow. The scarf came out beautifully, but I would have liked a demonstration about how to sew the ends together
Your video was so helpful!! I was watching video after video and I still didn't get it. Then I found yours, and I got it. I needed a little help since my dyslexic brain kept mixing up the directions but I got it!!
Thank you so much for your tutorial the slow motion helped and I needed the repetition- I struggled for three hours trying to understand someone else’s instructions before discovering your video.
You do an excellent job teaching the craft of arm knitting so that I could easily understand it. I watched it a few times...I tried it with thin yarn just to see if I could do it and it was too difficult because the knots were to hard to work with...I purchased the yarn you suggested and off I went...Initially, when I came back a different teacher came on and I thought I would give it a try.....not a wise decision.....After watching a few times...I knew I had to find your video if I was going to actually learn how to arm knit correctly. Thank you so much..I already made one and I am going to do another one with the remaining yarn. You have a calming voice and very easy to understand directions
Thank you so much!!! Someone made me a scarf for the holidays and it was waaay too long. I took it apart and was panicking because all of the other videos I found before yours were confusing and they didn't explain the step by step beginning instructions!!! You are awesome thank you!!
This was an AMAZING tutorial. Thank you so much for posting. My daughter has been looking for a craft that she could take on and she found thanks to your video!
I have looked at a ton of knitting tutorials and The Crafty Gemini was awesome !! She was clear and easy to follow and successful. I am hooked !!!!! Thanks for the great tutorial 😊😊😊😊
Excellent video! I've tried to watch other arm knitting video but they are so confusing and not well explained. Yours, however, was very clear and easy to follow along. I will definitely make one of these cowls! Thanks!
I am not crafty at all! But wanted to make a gift. I have to say I say another video started and after the first stitch I wanted to give up. I could not get my fingers to make a loop. I came across this video. And.... I MADE MY FIRST SCARF! Yes I'm super excited within 45 minutes. I got a little hung up at the end. But it's all good. Practice makes perfect. I want to make a 2 color one next. I'm hooked. Thanks so much for this great video.
I definitely enjoyed your tutorial. All winter long I wanted to learn how to make this. No matter what tutorial I watched I just didn't grasp how to do it. So I would loose my courage, You have inspired me and I will be looking forward to trying this week. I will let you know. Ty once again for the great tutorial.
I must say you are a very good teacher I have watched a few videos and by far you are the best.my first cowl sucked lol but I used cheap yarn to learn. so just wanted to say thank you
When she says it's the best tutorial, it really is! I am a beginner and this was easy!! Well, for the end when she binded it off, I just did it my own crazy way👀. But it was fantastic! I had really thin yarn, but I just made it long enough to rap around three times and it still looks thick and chunky! I love this!
your tutorials are amazing. you really make it easy to understand and its step by step. I was able to do my beautiful cowl and it came out fantastic. thank you very much. will look for more tutorial from you
This tutorial is actually helpful! The other arm knitting tutorials I've seen don't make much sense, but this is amazing! A lot of my friends don't even know what arm knitting is, so it's fun just giving them a random scarf that they don't even know how to make ! 👍🏻 you rock!
Thanks a lot for your video. I watched one before yours and I was super confused on how to do the initial casting on. You explained the process way more clearly and I now have an understanding. I can't wait to make a chunky scarf like the first one you had on in the beginning of the video. Thanks again!
I really love your simply and very clear way to teach and show. I will keep follow your videos to make more untill i am good at it. Thank you so very much and i wish you to keep doing your wonderful thing. Truly from me.
Hi Vanessa! I just wanted to say THANKS for the super easy to follow video. I watched 2 girls try to explain it before finding your video and their angles and speed made it hard to follow. I love this pattern and was able to make my scarf really quickly! Can't wait to give these as gifts for Christmas! Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this tutorial video! I have never done knitting before but your instructions were very easy to follow and understand. I look forward to watching more of your videos, thanks!
I am a newbie to this and I love your easy directions and how you slowed down so that I can follow along. I have subscribed to your channel. I think I just became a fan. LoL.
I just wanted to go thank you so much for this video! You directions were clear and easy to see/understand. I'm so happy I came across your tutorial and now I have a great Christmas gift! Thank you thank you!!

I totally felt overwhelmed w\other videos I watched. I immidiately understood how you taught this! Thank you!
OMG THIS REALLY IS THE BEST!!! Ive always wanted to knit and once this whole arm knitting thing became popular i have been saying i would try. I watch sooooooooo mmmaaannnyyy videos!! But this is the first one that helped me get it!!
Very easy, good camera angle and love the slow motion. Had to watch several times but finally got it! Thank you!
Thank you!! This is the first tutorial where I've actually been able to get it right and make the scarf - and it looks great :)
Wow just what I was looking for I SO appreciate the SLOW MOTION parts! THAAAANKS!!! I get it now! 😊
I loved this tutorial, and am cranking out scarfs. Thanks, Vanessa, for being so clear and precise when describing what to do! I'm a fan!
This tutorial has saved my sanity! I'm scheduled to do an arm-knitting demo at work in about 2 hours (never having done it before) and the written/pictured instructions I was sent were completely unhelpful. So I youtubed, found the same instructions via video, and was still so lost. But someone mentioned your tutorial in one of the comments, and now I know exactly what to do! You are amazing!!
just finished an infinity scarf for my 3 yr old daughter, she loves it. thank u so much for this tutorial, you are awesome!
I am 13 and I am starting to like knitting. this looks so fluffy and warm... I can't wait to try this, it looks amazing xx
Great video! Thank you so much for going slow and having the camera at an angle where I can easily follow along!!!☺️
Sewing the ends is more like weaving them in and then knotting it like she showed. Great video! I couldn't make one this quickly doing regular knitting. Thanks for showing us how to make these scarves.
Thank you Gemini. I'm a beginner & your video is of much help.
I was totally confused and I didnt think I was going to figure it out, but I kept trying, rewinding and rewatching, though not neat, I got it. Practice. Thanks so much. I checked other pages and this one is totally the best.
Glad to hear it! Good for you for sticking with it. Keep up the great work! ❤️
Great video showing the arm crochet technique Vanessa!! I love all your videos because you take the time to show (slowly) assuming we are all new to the craft, which is AWESOME & COMPLETELY MAKES SENSE to us viewers!! THANK YOU!!!
I can't thank you enough because everything was in details because I watched many tutorials and it's not their fault but I'm so bad with knitting and anything with hands. To my surprise I could knit while watching your tutorial. OMG finally I can't believe it ! Million thumps up 😍
I watched a couple and it was all greek to me, but I found this one and everything was crystal clear. Thanks Crafty Gemini!
This is so much easier than in the other videos. Thank you for being so thorough and taking the time to explain the steps and what you are doing!!!
Of all the videos I have seen...this is the best instructional video....thanks for explaining it so great...
Have made several in the past year and needed a refresher course and thankful I found your site. Your demo and explanations were easy to follow (even for a beginner) and your slow mo really helped. Will recommend your site to others if they want to give it a try. Thanks so much!!
Great video! Excellent instruction, you are a GREAT teacher, so easy to follow. The slow motion stitches are incredible. Thank you, looking forward to more of your videos!
Hallelujah!!!!
The all-time-best visual and verbal explanation I have seen and have been able to follow to a completed project. Thank you.
The camera angle was spot on. I needed to see the angle that you came at "V" in the yarn. The slingshot opening of the hands - perfect. Seeing the tail and working thread clearly separated on the screen was also very helpful. So yeah, thank you! =D Ohh! I also liked that you verbalized which loop (second **Squee**) went over your hand during cast on was very helpful too. Did I say thank you? Cause yeah.. thanks! =D
Saw another tutorial and it was way too complicated for me. So glad I ran across yours! I made this cowl for my 7 yr. old daughter and she LOVES it!! Living here in Colorado a scarf is definitely needed but she hates regular scarfs because how they feel on her neck but this cowl is so warm and soft she has no complaints. Next thing I'll be making is a skirt thanks to one of your other tutorials. I love skirts but being a plus size woman I find it hard to find cute ones or ones that fit me since I'm very short but now I won't have that problem I'll just make my own! Thanks a bunch!!
I took a class at Michaels on Saturday and I should have waited and just watched your video. It was much easier to see how to do it by watching the video...I loved it! Can't wait to make some cowls.
This truly was an EASY tutorial. I am a beginner knitter with needles and decided to give arm knitting a try. I just made my first infinity scarf in, literally, a half hour. Thanks for the great video!
Best tutorial for arm knitting I have found. A pleasure to make!
Love the color and the scarf you knitted. I would LOVE to learn to do this. I know nothing about knitting. I did at one time know how to chain stitch by crocheting, but this is totally diffrerent. I'm going to get my yarn & watch this wonderfully guided video over & over until I am confident that I have it down pat! Thanks for the lesson!
Honestly this was the best tutorial. I think I went through 3 videos and yours made perfect sense. Thank you so much
Thank you! I've watched so many arm knitting tutorial videos and this one is by far the easiest to follow. The scarf came out beautifully, but I would have liked a demonstration about how to sew the ends together
Your video was so helpful!! I was watching video after video and I still didn't get it. Then I found yours, and I got it. I needed a little help since my dyslexic brain kept mixing up the directions but I got it!!
Thank you so much for your tutorial the slow motion helped and I needed the repetition- I struggled for three hours trying to understand someone else’s instructions before discovering your video.
You do an excellent job teaching the craft of arm knitting so that I could easily understand it. I watched it a few times...I tried it with thin yarn just to see if I could do it and it was too difficult because the knots were to hard to work with...I purchased the yarn you suggested and off I went...Initially, when I came back a different teacher came on and I thought I would give it a try.....not a wise decision.....After watching a few times...I knew I had to find your video if I was going to actually learn how to arm knit correctly. Thank you so much..I already made one and I am going to do another one with the remaining yarn. You have a calming voice and very easy to understand directions
Thank you so much!!! Someone made me a scarf for the holidays and it was waaay too long. I took it apart and was panicking because all of the other videos I found before yours were confusing and they didn't explain the step by step beginning instructions!!! You are awesome thank you!!
This was an AMAZING tutorial. Thank you so much for posting. My daughter has been looking for a craft that she could take on and she found thanks to your video!
I have looked at a ton of knitting tutorials and The Crafty Gemini was awesome !! She was clear and easy to follow and successful. I am hooked !!!!! Thanks for the great tutorial 😊😊😊😊
Your RUclips tutorial is the best.. I have watched closed to 6 and I can't follow the instructions.. But yours is so easy to follow ! Love it
Glad to help! :)
Excellent video! I've tried to watch other arm knitting video but they are so confusing and not well explained. Yours, however, was very clear and easy to follow along. I will definitely make one of these cowls! Thanks!
I am not crafty at all! But wanted to make a gift. I have to say I say another video started and after the first stitch I wanted to give up. I could not get my fingers to make a loop. I came across this video. And.... I MADE MY FIRST SCARF! Yes I'm super excited within 45 minutes. I got a little hung up at the end. But it's all good. Practice makes perfect. I want to make a 2 color one next. I'm hooked. Thanks so much for this great video.
I definitely enjoyed your tutorial. All winter long I wanted to learn how to make this. No matter what tutorial I watched I just didn't grasp how to do it. So I would loose my courage, You have inspired me and I will be looking forward to trying this week. I will let you know. Ty once again for the great tutorial.
I must say you are a very good teacher I have watched a few videos and by far you are the best.my first cowl sucked lol but I used cheap yarn to learn. so just wanted to say thank you
When she says it's the best tutorial, it really is! I am a beginner and this was easy!! Well, for the end when she binded it off, I just did it my own crazy way👀. But it was fantastic! I had really thin yarn, but I just made it long enough to rap around three times and it still looks thick and chunky! I love this!
As a teacher, I must say you're incredible!!
Every video I watched was very difficult and couldn't understand it. This video is so easy! Love this. Thank you
This is fantastic as the other videos go far to quick. As a qualified teacher myself, this is exceptional good teaching. Thank you heaps
Best Tutorial Ever. I had no idea how to do it for the other videos. now its so easy.
your tutorials are amazing. you really make it easy to understand and its step by step. I was able to do my beautiful cowl and it came out fantastic. thank you very much. will look for more tutorial from you
Sooooo much easier than others I've watched. You go nice and slow. Thank you.
Finally a video that helped me get this right! I made mine with super chunky soft yarn and it looks great!
This tutorial is actually helpful! The other arm knitting tutorials I've seen don't make much sense, but this is amazing! A lot of my friends don't even know what arm knitting is, so it's fun just giving them a random scarf that they don't even know how to make ! 👍🏻 you rock!
Your video was amazing. I made 2 for my nieces for Christmas. Thank you so much for this video.
Thanks a lot for your video. I watched one before yours and I was super confused on how to do the initial casting on. You explained the process way more clearly and I now have an understanding. I can't wait to make a chunky scarf like the first one you had on in the beginning of the video. Thanks again!
I really love your simply and very clear way to teach and show.
I will keep follow your videos to make more untill i am good at it.
Thank you so very much and i wish you to keep doing your wonderful thing.
Truly from me.
Hi Vanessa! I just wanted to say THANKS for the super easy to follow video. I watched 2 girls try to explain it before finding your video and their angles and speed made it hard to follow. I love this pattern and was able to make my scarf really quickly! Can't wait to give these as gifts for Christmas! Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this tutorial video! I have never done knitting before but your instructions were very easy to follow and understand. I look forward to watching more of your videos, thanks!
👏👏👏👏BEST TUTORIAL IVE EVER SEEN .. OUT OF ALL OF THE VIDEOS IVE SEE. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO EXPLAINED IT THE BEST. . THANK YOU
I am a newbie to this and I love your easy directions and how you slowed down so that I can follow along. I have subscribed to your channel. I think I just became a fan. LoL.
wow i finally found the right tutor for me.
you give easy directions that even beginners get it, like me.
I just wanted to go thank you so much for this video! You directions were clear and easy to see/understand. I'm so happy I came across your tutorial and now I have a great Christmas gift! Thank you thank you!!
