How To Arm Knit A Scarf

Volume scarves made of wool yarn are again very popular in this season. You won’t need knitting needles to knit such like scarves since we’ll be knitting with our hands. With the help of this technique you may also knit a poncho (very trendy this winter), volume plaids and rugs (you need to have a lot of yarn to knit them since there is more yarn needed for big items).
