Hi, I have only been using an circular knitting machine for a few months. Your videos have been a big help! I got after Christmas of 2022 because I wanted to donate hats to the homeless the next Christmas. I know I couldn't crochet the amount I would love to do. I was able to give over 150 hats to the homeless! I'm hoping to do more this year. Anyway, could please tell me they call the needles you use? I want to order some but I'm having trouble finding them. Thank you very much for being a great teacher!
Thank you so much for your comment. That is wonderful that you are doing something so nice for the homeless! Great job! 😍 The needles are called metal wool needles. Amazon and Walmart are two places that sell them. 😍
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet just went by my logistics company here in Jamaica to pick it but to my surprise the courier had just pulled in so I'm suppose to return in an hour to collect it. The nerve is too much at this point lol
Dank voor dit leuke idee. Ik ga ze meteen maken voor mijn kleindochter van 5 weken oud. Ik ben nieuw op dit kanaal en ben een beginner met de Addi 22. Groetjes Elly, Nederland

@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Thank you for your motivation! FB is bad for my mental health. I rarely get on Insta but I would shoot a quick post there, are you on Insta?
Love your videos! New subscriber (and new to knitting machines) - I’m in Australia and it’s very warm most of the year; would it be possible to make these single layer rather than double layer? Thanks for taking the time to make such wonderfully instructive videos😊
Hello to you! I am going to do a video on a single layer brimmed hat cause several of you lucky people who live in warmer climates have asked. Stay tuned. Likely next week. 😍 I would like to invite you to join my newly formed FB Group. Koala Knits And Knacks Here is the link 🥰 facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594
@@RetaWarren-pu8pn it’s just how I did it so the inside layer isn’t loose. You can do a single if you would like. Where I come from it is very cold. Double is necessary. 🙂
I think it would be very hard to get them small enough on a bigger machine. It would be a whole different pattern outline. Anything is possible! 🥰 Sorry, I don’t have a pattern that would accommodate the bigger machine for these. If you haven’t already done so, I would like to invite you to join my newly formed FB Group.

You could do a flat panel over 22 needles and seam it up the sides to make a small tube but if you can get yourself a 22 needle machine your creating options are limitless.
I just bought a Sentro 40 and the teeth are SO small that yarn just won’t stay on. I tried ten times to start a hat and the yarn just falls off. I’m proficient on my two Addis and Sentro 46, but the Sentro 40 is not molded correctly.
I also had trouble on the 40 when I first got it. I agree, the teeth are smaller and it takes a bit more tension than you are used to using in order to line up the yarn behind the hook. Don’t give up. Once you get used to it you will love it.
I took your advice and added more tension than before, wow what a difference! I was boxing it up to send back. Now I’ve created the best hat yet! Thank you!
I am so glad!! If you haven’t done so already, please come join my FB group and show us your work. facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594
I am wondering about doing it like a beanie, so instead of doing 2 separate pieces doing 1 long one clinching both sides then folding it in on itself. I am about to try and see. Because I have a baby shower to go to tomorrow and need easy
I am not sure why I commented that way. Lol! I must have been multi tasking. For sure it would work. Post in my FB group. facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594
