Two Toned Knitting Machine Beanie | QUICK & EASY Project For Beginners! 

Ooooh! Thanks!

Thanks, I’ll try that next time.

I missed something here. I don't get it.

@@sassegranny4700 Do a few rounds using a contrasting color waste yarn. Then when you begin to use the yarn for your hat leave a long strand laying in the center. It’s called the cast-on tail. Then finish all your rounds, fold your project in half so that the bottom round of your hat yarn (not waste yarn) is near the top stitches on the machine. Ignore the waste yarn. It’s there only to help you locate the yarn stitches. You can alternate picking up a stitch from the hat just after the waste yard, then a loop on the machines hook until the project is completely off the machine. Remove all the waste yarn. So, instead of using a separate cast-off strand, you have used the cast-on yarn strand to cast-off. When you cinch it tight, it pulls the top and bottom together in one fell swoop. You can tie a knot for a two-sided hat or put a pom-pom for a one-sided hat. I tried it and it works, but I had a hard time finding every stitch because I didn’t use any waste yarn. A contrasting waste yarn is essential for your first few rounds so that you can locate every stitch. Otherwise your hat unravels. Good luck.

Thank you for this information.

It is my absolute pleasure! Thankyou so much again for you kind words 😊 this has made my day! 💕 The knitting machine is great but it does take lots of trial and error. Once you get the hang of it it’s amazing! Enjoy! 😊💕

@@Katieree You have made my day too. I've destroyed a few hats already but I don't mind, I can use that yarn for stuffing into amigurumis.

I have ADHD as well and find when my Brain gets distracted I end up getting confused and making mistakes

The technique was really good for the beanie. I will need more instructions I'm sure. I will be 75 in May, it is not easy but I will get it just dont give up. See you soon ..

You are so welcome! ❤️

Awesome!! Enjoy! 😁💕

So cosy! 🥰

Oh no Caz!! That’s frustrating 😖 Glad you’re enjoying the machine though 💕💕

@@Katieree what do you do if your machine stops working? do you get it serviced? they aren't cheap so wondering before i invest.

Hi did you know you can get a row counter for Sentro machine on Amazon? I glued mine onto my Sentro machine with a glue gun, by using the smallest amount of hot glue (from my glue gun). The row counter is working great for me.

Ps - are you stocking pom pom makers in your store? I can’t believe I don’t have any!

Haha I love my knitting machine! 🥰 Pom Pom makers are on my list for my next order! 🙌🏼 Thankyou for watching!! 🥰

Hi Joan! I’m happy to be of service 😆 someone has to do it for us Aussies 🇦🇺 Thanks for watching! 🌻

@@Katieree from Yeppoon QLD

Yes. Trying to cast off on the machine was a huge strain. The waste yarn method is my favorite & easier.

My pleasure!! Happy to help 🥰🥰

Hi! What tensions did you use? Thanks!

@@BellaBownita that was a year ago, so I don't remember but most likely I did whatever she did in the video since it was my first creation ever on the Sentro. Have fun 😁

You’re welcome 😊

Haha don’t worry you’re not alone!! I’m so bad at knitting 😆 that’s why I love this machine so much 😍

@@Katieree when I saw your video titled knitting I had flashbacks of all the knitting projects that had gone horribly wrong😂😂 but then I saw the machine. And that's pretty awesome I'm definitely going to look into getting one now❤

Hahah the machine is a lifesaver!! ❤️ Thankyou for watching 🥰

@@Katieree and thank out for the tutorials. Take care❤❤❤❤

My pleasure! 🌻

My pleasure Cathy! Thankyou for watching 🥰

@@Katieree how long you been knitting? when I do my lap looms, I do pearl stitch every other line, can you pearl on a machine?

My pleasure. Enjoy!

My pleasure Shalon! Thanks for watching 🥰

Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼

I find the softer the yarn the better! To be honest it’s lots of trial and error.. I’ve found that even certain colours of some yarn won’t work even though the other colours do. Crazy!! But in general I find 8 ply yarns work best 💗

Thankyou so much! Enjoy 😁

Thank you!

My pleasure! Enjoy your new machine 😊

My pleasure! Thanks for watching 🥰

Glad I could help. Thanks for watching 😊

My pleasure! Thankyou for watching 🥰

Amazing! Enjoy 😁

You’ll love it!! 😍

Done my 1st hat on to 2nd one

How many rows do I do for a 2 yr old boy I can't get it right

My pleasure Sandy! Enjoy your machine 🥰

Thanks so much Tracy! 😁

You are so welcome! Thankyou for watching Barb! 🥰

i also wish to buy a mashine with 40 needles. can you pls help me, how big a project turns out? like adult had size? or for children?

@@ildikoesztergalyos7306 40 pin only does kid hats. U can put it on an adult head but it looks tight. 48 is most common for adult hats. 40 works good for cute earwarmer headwraps for adults thi

@@jackiecole8886 thank you 🙏I just ordered my 48,im so excited!!! I'm a crocheter,but want to give a try

@@ildikoesztergalyos7306 I do, too! I've debated getting a Sentro... However, I've ordered just the round plastic looms for now to try the concept before I buy a machine. The Sentro is not expensive here in the States, but I want to be sure I like doing it and understand the basics first. I've crocheted for many years and love it. Then I saw a couple of tutorials on this machine and the more expensive large Addi, and it looked very interesting and fun. So.... Baby steps! I have tons of yarn and would love to make hats and scarves for the homeless or charities. Also little blankets for the ASPCA to help keep shelter animals warm when it's cold at night. I'm going to watch every video I can, maybe more than once, if they're good, like this one!. I'm getting a KB loom tomorrow, although the gauge is 3/8", which is a bit tight to learn on. I plan to use it for tighter knitting once I know what I'm doing. A Darice Loom set (4 circles in the wider gauge) is coming sometime this week. I'll learn on that one. Then.... If I love it like I think I will, I'll get a knitting machine. Good luck to all beginners out there. Please share what you're making so we can all be more and more inspired! Please take care and stay safe. Char from Phoenix, Arizona USA 🇺🇸🌵🌄🏜️ (Phoenix is in the Sonoran Desert in the far southwest of the US. Two of our borders are California and Mexico. So.... It's HOT here for most of the year. 😏 There are a couple of months in the year when we can "sometimes" wear a hat and scarf. I don't care! I'll donate to charities located in colder parts of the US, supply my sons with hats and scarves (who live here and in Southern California🥴) and send lots to my daughter and her partner in the state of Oregon, where it does get cold a lot. And shelter animals can always use a little blanket to lie on or cover up with! Ok... That's all, folks! Can you tell I'm excited about this? Happy Knitting! 🧶

Hey Laura, I now have a waste yarn video on my channel. You can find it here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xxzUjLAE2I0.html if you're still interested 🙂

Absolutely! 😁

Hi Frances! Thankyou so much for your kind words 🥰 Unfortunately this machine can only do the knit stitch, but there are are so many things that can be made with it! ❤️ Thankyou for watching 🌻

My pleasure Emma! 😁💕

That sounds perfect! 🙌🏼

My pleasure Judi! Thanks so much 🥰

You’re welcome 😄

Thankyou so much! 🥰🥰

I also tried out the infinite scarf you made,and it came out wonderful 😊

That’s so great to hear!! Thankyou so much for the feedback 🥰

Hi Sonam! Check out my waste yarn video for a full explanation - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xxzUjLAE2I0.html

Thankyou! 🥰

Check out the waste yarn video on my channel for a more detailed explanation 🫶🏼

My pleasure Chantal! Thankyou 🥰🥰

Adjust your tension/ yarn weight to change the width. The tighter your tension the smaller the hat 💛

Hi Sherry! This pattern is 40 rounds of the main colour, 50 rounds of the brim colour and then another 40 rounds of the main colour 🙂 Thanks for watching! ❤️

My pleasure! Thank you for watching 🥰

Hi Meredith! All row counts are mentioned in the video but incase you missed it I did 40 rounds of the beige colour, 50 rounds of the tan colour, then another 40 rounds of the beige. Thanks for watching! 💕

@@Katieree thank you! I’m going to give it a try!

Hey Leslie! No they have never broken 🤣 I wouldn’t pull that hard unless I knew the yarn could take it. Thanks for watching! 🥰

Whatever works!

Hey Eeva! This machine is a 48 peg machine which is the biggest of the circular knitting machines (that I’m aware of). These are definitely suitable for adults 😊 you can adjust your tension to make them smaller or larger depending on your preference.. also keep in mind they are super stretchy when you take them off the machine. I hope this helps! 🌻

How would you do this on the 40 pin for toddlers? How many rows of each color?
