So after seeing TONS of arm knit things of pintrest I figured I would give it a shot... omg it's so quick! I grabbed 5 balls of worsted weight yarn and in two hours I Jonesy...
He's 10 feet long and like 2 feet wide...Did I mention I only casted on 10 stitches! Great project to make while watching a Indiana Jones movie. Guess who its named after haha
I might have to make another one of these or by grab some bulky yarn and make a blanket. Can you imagine knitting a whole blanket in one afternoon!?!? Sign me up!
This is an amazingly easy yet versatile lace pattern. It can be knit up bulky for a scarf or thinner for a wrap.
I hope you guys like it.
Im currently reknitting this up as a wrap to give as a gift...

This is a Short Row Heel, now if you have never done these don’t worry they are REALLY easy and I prefer them to heel flaps since there is no flap you WONT have to decrease in the gusset or pick up stitches...which I LOVE!
Knit till you have two stitches left on the needle.
With working yarn in FRONT slip the next stitch, move the yarn to the back and pass the stitch back onto the left needle and turn work. Purl till you get to the last 2 stitches and with the working yarn in BACK slip the next stitch, move the yarn to the front and slip the stitch back to the right needle, turn work.
Knit till you get to on stitch before your wrapped stitch, and repeat the wrapping process.
Do this until you have 8 wrapped stitches on each side.
Hang with me we are almost there!
Its time to pick up the stitches we just wrapped, so knit back to your last wrapped stitch and slip your needle thru both the stitch AND the wrap knit them together slip and wrap the next stitch so that there are 2 wraps turn your work and purl to the next wrapped stitch.
Slip both the stitch and the wrap onto the needle and purl them together. Wrap the next stitch and turn work.
Knit back to the next stitch and slip needle thru BOTH wraps and knit 3 together, wrap the next stitch and turn work. Purl back to the next stitch, slip needle thru s stitch and the 2 wraps purl 3 together, wrap the next stitch and turn work.
Now you will continue doing this till you get to the last stitch and which point you will just knit it and start on foot.
Now go eat that WHOLE bar of chocolate...
Foot: Continue where you left off in the lace pattern but now dont carry it to the underside of your foot. Knit to your desired lenght.
