I was getting ready to search "how to arm knit a mermaid blanket", THENI saw under my subscriptions that you had a new video on this subject! HAAA!!! Thank you Maggie! :)
Thank you so much for the pattern. My 7 year-old has trouble with needles, but loves to arm knit and finger crochet. She just finished this blanket, and is giving it to her dad for a present.
I love it! This is going to be my arm knit project that I will give to my granddaughter for Christmas. Thank you for sharing. I wish my grandmother were here to see it.
I had no idea that arm knitting was a thing until I literally just stumbled upon this channel. I'm very interested in this and will have to try it out thanks for bringing it to my attention.
This is amazing! I wanted to make one for my sister but I can't knit traditionally (poor fine motor skills) and I didn't even think about arm knitting it even though I've been doing it for years. Just as I resigned myself to buying it instead this pops up in my subscription feed! Thank you so much for this 😊
such a perfectly explained video! I loved it! I think I'm going to make one, can I use a Bulky Yarn and knit woth double thread? I love how it looks with that yarn but I can't find the same in my country 💕 thanks for sharing
I just finished this for my niece! I was really confused at the stitching part to get the two pieces together so I just winged it...hopefully it stays intact!
It would be very nice to let us know how many skeins of yarn needed. Thank you. I went on your site but again I have to purchase pattern to know how many. Would like to know the cost of yarn before buying pattern.
A yarn called Big Twist looks to be the same yarn Maggie used is on clearance for $2.47 now. For anyone who used a different size 7 bulky yarn, how many skeins did you use? Did everyone use 3 colors? Thanks for the help Community!
probably doesnt matter this late in the game but I believe the question was referring to the tail being attached to the body if one color was used. 8 )
I'm trying to see the instructions and how much yarn you need but I can't get Instagram and I tin that's where you have it listed. Sorry for all the questions but it looks so cool I want to start it....😁
I think if you wanted to you definitely could, that's what I was thinking of doing myself. However, I'm not sure if 3 or 4 strands of the super chunky would be as thick as the stuff she is using :/ if you try it let me know though because I would love to do this!
you can use 4 strands of super bulky yarn. the blanket will have a little less shape to it but still look nice! all info is on my blog. link in description
Do you have any advice for knitting while on a budget? I really want to make a blanket but it seems really expensive because it requires so much yarn... do you know where I can buy yarn for arm knitting at a cheap price?
I was trying this, but the knits were all too wide apart, it ended up more a pretty net than a blanket. Do you have any advice? or should I just try to make the knits tighter on my arm?
Can someone please tell me what the knitting needle size equivalent for arm knitting is? I want to make this but I get pain in my arms when I arm knit.
I used Bernat BIG Blanket Yarn, it's fairly new at Michaels but it's huge and plush. My Joann's doesn't sell this yarn and I didn't want to order it online. It's a good alternative.
This is WAY to slow for me. Are you teachimg me a pattern or are you teaching me how to knit? I already know hoe to cast on, they tging i dont know is the pattern for a mermaid blanket

Awesome Maggie !!!
Hey I love this tutorial! If I want my tail to flare out a bit what can I do?
I just finished this for my niece! I was really confused at the stitching part to get the two pieces together so I just winged it...hopefully it stays intact!
Can this be done as hand knitting, not arm knitting. I'm not sure how to convert it to hand knit
Beautiful! thank u so much 💓
How many things of yarn did you use
It's all listed on my blog. Link is in description :)
Can I do it with a Bernat Yarn ?
It works best with super bulky or jumbo yarn. So any brand as long as it's thick enough.

For anyone who used a different size 7 bulky yarn, how many skeins did you use?
Did everyone use 3 colors?
Thanks for the help Community!
i recently saw your instructions on arm crocheting a blanket. would this yarn work instead of three strands of the super bulky?
Hey you know I made on with lil holes as scales with the chunky yarn you have
@simply_maggie can this pattern/technique work with small size yarn? Like 4-ply or thin yarn?
Will it work with the Loops and Threads Chunky yarn from Michaels?
If you mean the grande yarn or chunky braid yarn, yes.
Awesome. Thanks a lot, Maggie! :)
Is this knit adult or child size?? so I know if I need to moderate the amount of stitches. awesome video though xx
It's teen/adult size, if you go to the blog it tells you adjusted stitches for a child size :)
Of we do just one color do we have to knit the blanket together like you did with the green and pink part to the grey part
Yes, if you want the blanket part to wrap around your legs like mine does.
probably doesnt matter this late in the game but I believe the question was referring to the tail being attached to the body if one color was used. 8 )
I'm using Bernat blanket super bulky yarn and it's a 6. Will that be thick enough to make the blanket?
This yarn is so expensive and I have soooo much chunky yarn do you think I could use like 3 or 4 strands of chunky yarn as one piece?

What is the next best thing for this yarn that can be found in Michaels
Please
You could try loops and threads grande
Simply Maggie is that a yarn brand? Srry bout all the plz's I just thought u woldent answer😅
Nevermind I looked it up. Thanks for all the help!👍🏻👍🏻
Haha no problem
Can you do this with wool???
Do you have any advice for knitting while on a budget? I really want to make a blanket but it seems really expensive because it requires so much yarn... do you know where I can buy yarn for arm knitting at a cheap price?
Try Michaels! They have great chunky yarns and coupons and sales.
I know I'm super late but try the local theft store in the blanket section there might be yarn in bulk bags
This yarn is hand wash only. Could any bulky yarn work?
can I use regular yarn (plz say yes )
it has to be thick enough. I'm doing mine right now with Red Heart Grande super bulky.
Michelle Chung did it work?
Sky : yes.
How long did this take you?
About an hour to knit and assemble.
how many scains of yarn did you use in total
loves this one style :D
How many yards is each skein?
All the info for the yarn is on Premier's website.
16.5
Does anyone know where I could get something close to this yarn in the Rep. of Ireland?
please, I wanna know this blanket for kids or Adults
I was trying this, but the knits were all too wide apart, it ended up more a pretty net than a blanket. Do you have any advice? or should I just try to make the knits tighter on my arm?
how much yarn did you use? i tried looking for it on your blog but for some reason i cant find it
Lupe Vasquez she used 7 skeins of lavender 1 skein of pink and 1 skein of the green color, each skein is 16.5 yards i believe
Do u possibly know how to hand knit this?
Can someone please tell me what the knitting needle size equivalent for arm knitting is? I want to make this but I get pain in my arms when I arm knit.
i love this so much
Will u plzz tell me how many strands of regular yarn r required...❓❔❓❔
Can't find the pattern.
I want to arm knit one so bad but I can't get the yarn
I used Bernat BIG Blanket Yarn, it's fairly new at Michaels but it's huge and plush. My Joann's doesn't sell this yarn and I didn't want to order it online. It's a good alternative.
Marshall Peek did it work and look similar?
Awesome! TFS!!
I couldn't find the directions and material list. it's 2020 now.
How many ball of yarn would you I need if I did it only one color?
Book Lover probably 3 well it depends on how much the yarn is
It doesn’t say how much yarn you used
This is WAY to slow for me. Are you teachimg me a pattern or are you teaching me how to knit? I already know hoe to cast on, they tging i dont know is the pattern for a mermaid blanket
SLIPKNOT
It cost $63 for the skeins of yarn... no bueno lol
