There are a ton of arm knitting tutorials out there already. But so many of my followers still continue to request this from me. So, I put together the Crafty Gemini arm knitting tutorial. If you have struggled to learn how to make this cowl from other tutorials I hope my video will clear that all up for you. I am very thorough in my explanations and try to break everything down step-by-step while including the camera view from the same angle that you would be looking at the yarn from while making this.
Arm knitting is super quick and easy. It's fun and since all you need is your hands and some yarn you can pretty much do this anywhere. You can customize the length and width of your infinity scarf or cowl any way you want once you have the basics down.
I hope you'll give arm knitting a try using my tutorial and once you make one scarf or cowl you will start cranking them out by the dozens!
If you enjoy this tutorial leave me a comment below and let me know. I'd love to hear from you.

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!
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 I already have. I think you're gonna be my go-to-gal for crochet tutorials! Lol. Thanks and keep up the good work!
+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!
😆
+ANGELA WOLFSON YUP! That's the way to do it. Keep up the great work! I'm looking to do some more crochet videos in the new year so stay tuned!
I kept messing up until I found this video! She made it so simple!
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!
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!
That’s exactly how I’ feel
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!
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:)
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 !!!
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!!!!!
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
My daughter arm knit two cowls today with your tutorial. Thank you!
Wonderful! Love to hear that! 🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️
This was the clearest tutorial I've seen for this. Thanks.
Your instructions are always ON POINT!!!! I always end the videos feeling confident instead of confused and needing more info.. Thank you!
Woot! That's what I strive to do. Glad to know it worked for you. Happy arm knitting! :)

TheCraftyGemini cool wow
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. .
@@TheCraftyGemini 🙏🙏🙏🙏
After almost giving up trying someone else's video, I came across yours and I MADE A SCARF! Thank you!! 💕
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
+zeph wilson Awesome! Glad to help!!
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 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 :)
This really is the best arm knitting tutorial, especially with the casting-on. Thank you!
I'll agree with many of the knitters; Crafty Gemini certainly has a gift for teaching. Thanks girl!
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!
You are a great teacher! I tried arm knitting a few years ago when I first saw it on CZcams. 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!
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!
This is the absolute BEST video on arm knitting.
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.
I've watched many tutorials and always ended up with a giant knot. Yours by far is the best one and it turned out really nice!! Thank you!
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 !
Great video! Thank you so much for going slow and having the camera at an angle where I can easily follow along!!!☺️
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!
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 CZcams 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!
TrulyYours So glad to hear it!! Thanks for writing me. Happy arm knitting!
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!
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!!!
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 :)
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!
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.
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´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 :)
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.
The simplest explanation of this process that I've ever seen!!! Thank you!!
I totally felt overwhelmed w\other videos I watched. I immidiately understood how you taught this! Thank you!
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!!!
Very easy, good camera angle and love the slow motion. Had to watch several times but finally got it! Thank you!
Of all the videos I have seen...this is the best instructional video....thanks for explaining it so great...
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.
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!
OMG, thank you for your clear step by step, instructions. Can't wait to get started.
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!!!
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!!
This is an awesome teaching video! I also watched several and this was by far the BEST!!
Best tutorial for arm knitting I have found. A pleasure to make!
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!
You have a knack for teaching. Thank you so much for making this tutorial!
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!
👏👏👏👏BEST TUTORIAL IVE EVER SEEN .. OUT OF ALL OF THE VIDEOS IVE SEE. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO EXPLAINED IT THE BEST. . THANK YOU
Sooooo much easier than others I've watched. You go nice and slow. Thank you.
Best instructions I've seen so far. Thank you so much for your tutorial
This is the best instructional video I have found. Thank you so much.
Way to go again Vanessa!!! I will be making this soon to keep us warm!!!
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.
Yay!! Watched a few videos and I finally got the hang of it with your tutorial! So happy!!
Amanda Pitts Glad to hear it! be sure to subscribe!
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!
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 is literally the best, I only needed to watch this tutorial once to get it!!! Keep up the amazing work!!
this is by far the best video of arm knitting !!
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 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 😊😊😊😊
This is amazing! I just bought yarn and I made this scarf, and your instructions were so easy to follow! Mine turned out great!
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!
wow i finally found the right tutor for me.
you give easy directions that even beginners get it, like me.
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 love this! I can barely wait to make one
Fabulous instructions! Definitely the easiest tutorial I've watched! Thanks for your help!
Your video was amazing. I made 2 for my nieces for Christmas. Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a thoroughly explained tutorial!!! I've had the yarn for a while, but have been searching for the right video, my search is over and I can not wait to use up this yarn!
Best Tutorial Ever. I had no idea how to do it for the other videos. now its so easy.
I finally did it! Thanks for your thorough video!
this tutorial is amazing! i've watched plenty on youtube and the struggle was real. but this video taught me how to make one of many.
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!!
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!!!!!!!!
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
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! ❤️
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.
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
As a teacher, I must say you're incredible!!
Finally a video that helped me get this right! I made mine with super chunky soft yarn and it looks great!
Great video!!! You answered all the questions I had after watching a few other arm knitting tutorials :D
I always appreciate your ultra detailed explanations :3
I learn a lot from you.
This is the first time I have seen this.
Thank for the video.
Wow your a great teacher ... Praying for your success
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 the best video for arm knitting I have seen. Great!
This is the best tutorial what I see. Very good explanation and easy to follow. Thank you very much.
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 😍
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!! I tried so many other tutorials before I found this one. This one I could actually follow . It is great
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!
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!
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!
