Thirty Minute Fur Wrap
It started with an amazing sale at Michael's Canada. $1.99 for a 100gram skein of Premier Yarns Starbella Arctic. I scooped up 7 skeins, and decided to use it to "arm knit" a thick wrap. How to arm knit: check out this or other youtube videos
Yarn: Starbella Arctic, or other furry or fuzzy super bulky yarn. Artic is actually a thick ruffle style yarn, but looks great when arm knitted.
Gauge - unimportant.
"Cast on" 10 stitches, and arm knit until last skein is 2/3 done (I was getting about 1/3 skein per row). Cast off.
Use a shawl pin to hold the wrap closed!
This took me 30 minutes to knit and cost $14!
Beautiful! The edge of netting, usually used to knit through gives a nice texture to the fur stitches.
