Quick "arm knitting" / "hand knitting" without needles

You can quickly knit a loop scarf: with thick wool, without needles, only with your own arms and hands - that works. You only need his two hands or arms, thick wool (approx needle size 10) and the first time about 1 hour time.

Attention: since your own hands are the needles, you can not put the knitting away until it is ready.

If you know how to knit well with needles, you have to imagine that you knit with your whole arms and every stitch is so big that it fits right over your fist and you can start right away. You also have to remember that you can not turn around the knitting for the back rows. (You can not get so crazy.)


One knits alternately from the right arm to the left and then from the left arm to the right. In between, a hand is always free, so that you can drink coffee by the way.

If you can not imagine it, you just have to google "hand knitting" or "arm knitting". on a video like this. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXltfFwf1jM, where it is explained very well.

For the first loop scarf, made of thin cotton yarn, I needed about 1 hour. This model has become something for cooler summer nights. Only 45 minutes left for the second loop of thick sheep wool. This is something for cold winter days.

A loopschaal is knitted almost as fast as usual with 20 rows by 10 stitches.

The fact that you have to take several threads to get the appropriate wool strength, you can achieve beautiful color combinations. In the second attempt I combined brown-beige-mottled with blue-bleached wool.
