How to make different sized beanie hats on the Addi knitting machine. I've been asked so many times if we can make different sized hats on the Addi, and the answer is, yes we can, and in this video I show you how
For these beanies, I did 70 rounds with the pink yarn and 70 rounds of the silver yarn
These beanies are made on the Addi Express King Size knitting machine... I've had mine for nearly 7 years, and made thousands of hats and scarves on it for charity... and it's still going strong!
**********************************************************
They do sell out of these machines very quickly, especially around Christmas time, so there might be a bit of a wait for them to come back in stock.

I hope you enjoy experimenting with the tension in the hats you make on your own knitting machines, I have given just a few examples of some different size hats that I made to show you how it can be done. Please do share which yarns work best for you on the Addi Knitting machine. 🧶🌹

I just bought me an Addi King and this video will help me SO much! I've been watching a lot of different ones on RU-vid and so far yours is the only one that talks about this. Ty! ❤

Glad I could help. I hope you're enjoying your Addi! 😃❤️

@dawnlawson3682 Год назад

I've had the lg Addi for years BUT had to come back to say thank you so much. Never knew about the tension I was just taught to NOT hold any tension at all. Now after watching you video, I am now making the perfect babies /toddlers' hats. Myself and my grandbabies thank you so very much.

@TillyDouglas Год назад

Aahh that's fantastic Dawn, I'm so pleased my video was helpful for you!! 😃

Gracias, yo por lo general las hago 8Para adultos) en la tención mas suelta para que no marque el tejido la piel de la frente cuando te quitas la gorra. Gracias por tu demostración, me sirvió mucho.

THIS was one of the most helpful videos I've watched! Just got a Sentro, and my first hat had DOZENS of tucked stitches!! I was using minimal tension, and a slow speed. I didn't want to break the machine. I just made a 140 row reversible hat in about an hour (had to take some breaks to rest my arm!) and it came out PERFECT! I used snug tension, like your 2nd hat, and only had ONE tucked stitch!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Since 2020 I have been having problems with dropped stitches and snagged stitches. I have had my machine for over 7 years and although I had a break for a year due to not being able to get yarn , I have had yarn from all over the world. I know how to tension and hold my yarn. I can only surmise that the quality of manufacture has gone down whilst the price has significantly altered.

Thanks Tilly! Excellent visual comparison.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it Karen! 🌹

I love my Addi Express. However, the machine has a lot of personality. Medium 4 weight does not work at all. Mandala cakes work well, Bravo from Schachenmayer and Royal from Zeeman. 240 to 260 meters per 100 gramms of acrylic yarn works the best. Thank you for your tutorial. It will help many beginners.

@CrayolaCrack Год назад

Mine doesn't like 4 weight, it likes 5 weight. Funny how they have their own personality lol

Very useful, many thanks!

@backup2071 Год назад

Thank you, very educational! It's all about the tension and the yarn.

@TillyDouglas Год назад

You're welcome! Yes, it's all in the tension and the type of yarn, it's so simple. 🌹

@20oxford Год назад

I love the colours you chose. I have mariner dk ply and find that one very often snags stitches . I had a beautiful French yarn and that just double stiches despite tension and weight. In the end I crocheted a hat to the size required. With broken thumbs I find Hand Knitting hard to do. I also use a very cheep Majestic yarn and have had more success with a ball of yarn costing £1.29 as against some that have been up to £5.00. If I go for a wool yarn I sometimes go over that price but usually for Alpaca.

@20oxford Год назад

I have just had delivered a new Addi style electric one , so am interested to see how that one goes.

@lindaware3082 Год назад

Thicker yarn makes bigger stitches

@20oxford Год назад

I do like to 180 row slouchy beanies.

Can you write the row sizes in the comment? I dont speak good Englisch. I will make a baby hat on the machine. Thank you.

@victoriaressler3547 Год назад

Awesome video!! Thanks so much!!

@diannefitzmaurice9813 Месяц назад

What happens using the tensioner? Well done thank you . Hope it can use handspun wool & other natural fibers as the acrylic /plastic is killing us and our poor planet .

Hi there. Thank you for your tutorial on this. I'm struggling to make a beanie for myself with a head circumference of 56 cm or 22 inches. How many rows should I knit my beanie?

@juliejk4603 5 месяцев назад

Tilly said in this video that the second hat fits her head and hers is 22in or 56cm, and each beanie is a total of 140 rows

You're welcome!

@sweetesthoneybee Год назад

Thank you for explaining! I just got my machine and I couldn’t figure out why my medium yarn is so hole-y when all I see is tight weaved projects of similar yarn. I guess I just wasn’t holding my yarn tension correctly.

@rosebajorins6503 Год назад

Thank you. The hats I knit on my Addi dont fit my big head!:)

@nonna5480 Год назад

Thank you. I've been looking for this information all over the place. You hit my questions right on. Can you make an adult hat with size 4 yarn without tension?

@aimeejoie6156 Год назад

I like it

@carvertmmy Год назад

What I really need to know, because I would be buying the machine to make hats for my local shelter, does it make hats that fit Mens heads? Without being too tight or stretched too much?

@davidscott3374gmail Год назад

Hello Tammy how are you doing?

@gramcracker2023 10 месяцев назад

I've had my Addi for one year. I've made hundreds of beanies and a couple of toys. I have the most success with Big Twist Value yarn from JoAnn, Lion. Brands Mandala yarn (3 weight) and Red Heart Soft. I have a question though. My stitches are beginning to look sloppy. I've adjusted my tension and the Addi is properly affixed to my table. Their not normal dropped stitches. I mean I'll have a row here and a row there that loose. Does anyone have any questions?

Onde vende está máquina de fazer tricô

@Crochetedpossum Год назад

Looking at buying a knitting machine, not sure if I want to start with the addi or buy a less expensive machine to learn on and make sure I like using a machine….

@TillyDouglas Год назад

If you bought a cheaper one and decided you enjoy it and wanted to get an Addi, you could possibly sell the first one to get at least some of the money back.

@flyingsteel Месяц назад

I bought a Sentro, BIG MISTAKE.

@marionearwood4119 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video. I noticed a red plastic piece on the top of your addi. What is it for? My addi has the hole but I don’t have the red plastic piece.

@juliejk4603 5 месяцев назад

I think its to hold a crochet hook or pick

@deirdreconvery1032 Год назад

What yarn is best to use on the addi. DK or worsted weight

@marymcpherson8156 Год назад

How do I know how tight to make it for a childs 4 year old size head.

@carolynbenton9171 Год назад

Would this fit a 24” head

@WaschyNumber1 Год назад

It's more changing the hole sizes you making in the hats, If I would make some propper sizes, I would have to buy probably the smaller machines. 🤔 It's a shame that's not a multi Maschine 4hst could make Frome smaller sizes to bigger.

@carvertmmy Год назад

Especially for the cost and being made of plastic.
