My daughter has introduced me to arm knitting & this scarf only took less then an hour to make..........well it takes me a little longer then it does her. But it turned out really well & can be worn single or doubled. I had to promise not to show her face she is "camera shy" lol which is incredably ironic as she is a professional photgrapher

Nice scarf! Like that it can be used in different ways. Never heard of arm knitting. Have to check it out. Sobezy

Thanks for the information and link. it's fascinating and I've sent it to my grand-daughter in AZ to see if she is interested in creating a scarf for herself. Do they have cold weather in AZ enough to make this an interesting project???

I used a 6 weight & I used 2 balls @ the same time. It also depends on the tension you create but 2 balls will be plenty as I have some left over.

Very pretty!
Don't know if I could do it without someone to help me, but I just googled "arm knitting" and this looks very instructive.

It looks so warm and cozy. I have not heard of arm knitting either. Is there somewhere we can go to find instructions or a video? Hugs, Susan
