One-handed knitting for amputees - beginner knit stitch tutorial

This is a tutorial on how to master the knit stitch one-handed for those with an upper body disability.

Essentially my technique is to wrap the yarn around my elbow/amputee arm to hold it tight and keeping my right needle stationary under my armpit. The hardest bit is getting tension and finding a system that allows you to pull tight but keep a flow.

I'll post a video soon on playing around with the yarn and tension, this video mostly shows how to do the knit stitch one handed.

Please let me know if you have any questions, this in't the best view for learning, I just wanted to show it could be done and how.

If you're missing your left hand, I would place the left needle under your arm and using the left handed (this seems contradictory but most knitting is 'right-handed' and I'm missing right hand) tutorial below you can follow my process but in reverse.

There are some links to my other knitting tutorials below, & a link to my blog if you're interested. Thanks for watching!
