Is it possible to knit an arm warmer as a flat piece and stitch yhe seam together instear of knitting in the rnd?

Of course ... just use any seaming technique that you would for any sleeve of a sweater. I like an invisible seam and their are many different ones to use.

Yes it is, but I would be careful where I had the seam wheen wearing it. I would put it on the inside of the arm so that if you are leaning on something there will not be a mark on your arm. Of course you can more than likely do a neater seam than me.

Yes, I've just done a pair in alpaca 4ply yarn using a feather and fan pattern. The join is actually just next to a row of decorative buttons to wear along the top of my hand and along my arm. They look like they actually button up over my arm but I just slip them on.

Thank you all so much. I just don't have good results using dpns and if I can avoid using them I will.

If you have trouble with Dpn maybe you would have better luck with the short circular needles. I hate having to sew a seam on any knitting project. I just can not make it look as nice as seamless.

Is there a link so I can see a photo.....sounds very nice. I would want to use circulars as I hate seams.

Have fun... The last one I will be working on soon. I do use dpn's for my mitts but this looks fast and easy peasy.

Yes, that's how I usually make mine, and have an inside seam. Watch your placement of cables. I did a beautiful pair in a soft pink angora blend only to realize when I seamed them that the cable ran up the outside of the hand instead in the middle of the hand. I put the cable in the middle without thinking it through. But I sold them anyway, along with their companion scarf.

 

[run4fittness]

sure, just do like you said knit it and then sew it up!

 

[nanma esther]

or you can try magic loop to knit in the round, i hate dpns but i'm loving ml

 

[tea4two]

Why not. Just be sure you don't make it a bulky seam.

I can't use dpn's either. Then I found magic loop. It's great!! You really should try it. No ladders. No seaming. You can do 2 at-a-time and when you are finished.... You are finished!!! It might look complicated at first, but once you get the hang of it you will love it!!!
