Knit Your Own Chunky Knits
If you are a knitter it’s a great time to grab your favorite chunky yarn and your giant needles and make a warm chunky sweater.
You can knit whatever your heart desires from home decor items like chunky blankets and accessories like snoods, cowls, and scarves.
Chunky knits are great for beginner knitters as it’s a lot easier to work with a super bulky yarn weight than a lightweight one.
It’s easier to grip and spot the mistakes you might have made in your work.
If you are a complete newbie and want to make your own chunky knit with texture, it is better to start with a chunky hand knit blanket, as a garment might be a bit complicated.
What Makes A Chunky Knit Chunky?
The yarn’s thickness.
Talking about yarn weights has to do more with how thick they are than how much they weigh.
So the thicker the yarn you will choose the chunkier your knitted fabric will be.

What Is Arm Knitting?
Arm Knitting is a technique of knitting where the maker uses their hands to follow the knitting process instead of knitting needles.
The process is basically the same, you will make a slip knot, and stitches all with your hands.
The most popular arm knits are hand-knit blankets, pet beds, cushions, and rugs.
The Best Yarn For Arm Knitting
If you are looking for a yarn for your arm knitting project, bulky, super bulky, and jumbo yarns are a perfect choice.
Especially merino wool, Peruvian wool, chenille yarn, or tube yarns made with cotton and a soft polyester filling they are ideal for arm knitting projects.
