This scarf took me ages to knit, partly because the wool is quite thin, and partly because I was starting and stopping all the time. Also, I wanted it to be quite long; it goes around the neck three times. The knitting pattern is not too hard and the pattern is lovely. I used size 10mm needles as I wanted the knit to be loose. 

Instructions:

This is a warm chunky beanie which you can knit up in about 2 or 3 hours. The pattern is similar to the Chunky Mistake Rib Scarf. I used 2 skeins of 50g (about 40m) each. The Beanie is knit in the round, so I used 9mm and 10mm circular needles (40cm length). You will also need 10mm double point needles. 

Instructions:

This is a very cosy chunky scarf which you can knit up in about 3 or 4 hours. The pattern is really easy to knit, and to spot mistakes. I used 4 skeins of 50g (about 40m) each. The needles I used were 12mm. I wanted a snood, so after I finished the scarf I joined the ends together.


Instructions:

After the Arm Knit Scarf and the Moss Stitch Headband I decided to do a pair of simple fingerless mittens to match. I used size 10mm needles again, and nearly a whole skein of 50g. I know they don't exactly look like store bought, but they look quite cute :)

Instructions:

Some time ago I knitted the Arm Knit Scarf. I had about half a skein left (25g) so I decided to do a headband to match the scarf. It was quite quick to do; taking about two hours or so, and the wool was exactly the right length! I used size 10mm needles for the chunky wool.


Instructions:

It has been quite a while since I last knitted something, but when I saw this new take on knitting I couldn't resist. Instead of using knitting needles you use your arms. Yep that's right! The perfect method to achieve a large chunky knit in so little time!
