Hi there. Congrats and thank you!
Arm Knit blankets are best for ages 3 and up because of the holes. So definitely stick to needle knit or crochet for babies.

Hi Maggie,
I’ve watched your arm knitting video with so much interest that I’ve ordered yarn to give it a try. I went online and purchased Northland Comfy Fleece 100% polyester 6 (Super Bulky) yarn. The yarn that arrived is so small compared to your “6” yarn – it is less than 1/4″ (5mm) thick. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your help. C.
You have a photo of a hanging basket on a doorknob. I tried to find the pattern…no luck. Where may I find the pattern?
