Drop Shoulder Cardigan | Sentro Knitting Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Here is the tutorial for how I made a cardigan on my Sentro knitting machine!
This is the second cardigan I’ve made off of my Sentro and I think I’ve improved the design quite a lot from the last one.
Please note, there is no hand-knitting involved in this tutorial but there is some crochet done to create the trim and cuffs.
I hope you all enjoy it and if you’d like to share your creations with me on TikTok or Instagram (@kims_threads) I would be so happy to see them! :)
There is also a written pattern I've pattern tested on my Etsy for anyone interested in having a size guide:

The moment I heard the Ouran high school host club theme song. I literally got chills and immediately subscribed lol this is a beautiful sweater !! absolutely amazing work!!!!
Ahhh thank you so much! 🥰 That anime is soo good! I'm always looking for shows like it 🤩
Love how you use diagram to let viewers understand where in the project that you are correctly working on!!! This helps a lot for visual learner!!!
Thank you for a pattern with actual finishing work done. So many of the sentro videos of garments are just slapped together with no hand-finishing work and end up just looking like a hot mess. Great job, beautiful cardigan.
You look around my age and I LOVE this tutorial because I’ve never come across a pattern for a real clothing item (not a scarf, hat) that I think is really cute and fashionable. I think you might be able to save time on the crochet by following the technique for “flat panels that don’t curl.” Basically it involves doing 5 rows (in this case you would do them in white) and… well I will try to put the UA-cam video I saw on this. It actually involves purposefully going back and dropping every other stitch, then crocheting from the bottom up and reattaching. I’ll try to post that video. It might not work for things like the sleeves where you want to cinch it it, but I think it would give an almost identical look to every other white part
Thank you! I appreciate your comment 🥰 and I agree doing ribbing with machine knit stitches is definitely a good way to save time! I would have done the bottom that way but I wanted to have a cinched bottom hem as well! But thank you for your suggestions, hope you have a great day 😊
Soo cute! I love how you mixed crochet with knitting
Thanks so much!! 🫶🫶🥰
Excellent narration and instructions. Beautiful sweater! Thank you.
I get to see the machine for the first time 😊😊..here i see women making them knitting manually and I am already awestruck by their creativity ❤❤..with such machine I am sure so many styles and designs can be created...love it . 👏.. beautiful they are ..thank you for sharing
Beautiful! I love the mix of Sentro knitting and crochet. Great way to make buttonholes.
To decrease, youo could try to move second stitch to third stitch and move first stitch to second position. That way the decrease is not in the seam, making the seam easier, and it is less likely to tuck when you turn.
Also, another way to make a stretchy ribbing, double crochet front post, back post, front post, back post all the way around, adding rounds until you have the width you desire.
This was beautiful, kudos to you for knowing how to do this! This seemed so difficult. I wish you sold them custom I’d buy one!
I am so glad I found your tutorial. I am going to try making this cardigan too. Thank you for sharing.❤
Oh nooo :( itsz machine tutorial, i was super excited because i purchased my needles haha, well, still a cute project! Might as well buy a machine like yours ❤
I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon this, very excited to give it a go!!
Howd it turn out?
I’m going to try to make one this week for my best friend! I love how you make it easy to understand
How did it go?
@@ilovebigafrobaddies it was very easy! I just changed a few things, like size (I didn't want the super puff sleeves) and finishes (did it with knitting). Last month I did another one, with the same differences
@@KarolineAlbuquerquekarolabqhow did you do the non puffy sleeves?
@@anniemannie6 I did panels. Started from the bottom up, because it was easier to increase stitches, so every few rows I would make more, depending on the size I wanted
@@KarolineAlbuquerquekarolabq that's a great idea, thanks!
Wow you are so talented it’s beautiful 😊
That's very kind, thank you! 🥰
More Sentro tutorials pleaseeeee 😫💕
Omg thank youso much for this video!!!! I rly appreciate you sharing ur talents!❤️
I appreciate that, thank you! 😊
That looks amazing.
Excellent video! I'm def making one of these ❤
Thank you, that's wonderful! ☺️🙌
Hermosoooo!! Ya pedí mis hilos y espero poder tener la paciencia para hacerlo y que me quede así de bonito ❤
I’m currently working on this and it’s turning out so cute ❤
Ahh love that!! 😍
Fire great video audio sounds so clear
Perf 💯
THIS IS SOOO CUTE
Thank you!! 🥰
Honestly what you're doing is magic to me, but I really enjoyed watching and learning about machine knitting! What's the simplest thing I can make with it to get started?
Awh thank you! The classic machine knit make would be a beanie, it's a simple tube and pulling the yarn at the end and turning it into itself makes a hat 🥳 I might make a video on it but there are lot of tutorials :)
Wonderful tutorial!❤ thank you for sharing this with us. I’m just learning. Look forward to viewing more videos on the Sentro.
The diagram is so helpful, thank you!!
This is absolutely cool🎉
Very beautiful!!! 👍
Super cute!
A little variation for you to try, if you don't want to sc all the way around the ribbing to give it a straight, neat edge, what I do is sc through both loops of that end stitch. I tend to do it on both the last stitch of the first row, and the first stitch of the second row (or you can just stick to one or the other depending of how firm you want the ribbing.) I hope that makes sense?!
Ooh that sounds like it would save time! I'll have to try it :) thanks for your suggestion!
So cute and helpful ❤
Girl you are amazing!
soo cute >u< someone is playing lol in te background haha
Lmao yes my bf was gaming next to me 😆 I'll try to make sure there no bg noise for future vids
You're awesome!!!!❤
Wish the machine was able to make the back panel as one piece, so we wouldn't have to make it 2 pieces and sew together. That innard sewed part looks weird :( But it looks awesome on the outside. I will save your video to my playlist as I am thinking of buyin this machine in a near future.
Waiting for the full-crochet tutorial 🤩
Incredible tuto ! I’m gonna do it without the strips ! I’m so excited, how long did it take to make the whole project?
Thank you for Turkish subtitle 💙
It's stunning ! Is it possible to did all by hand, without the machine ? How do I know the number of stitches then ?
Hello! Yes, it is possible to do it by hand! This is made of 4 panels and 2 tubes :)
I have all the stitch counts at 3:30, you could do the same by hand with the stockinette stitch
For the 2 front panels I have some decreases to create the vneck, it might be helpful to watch starting at: 06:23 just to get an idea
After sewing by hand the trim and cuffs are done with a crochet hook, hope that helps!
Omg the cardigan looks amazing, I really wanna try to make one, but I don't have the thing you use to do it and willing to crochet it... Do you know which type of points/knits you use for it ?
Hi! I think 5.00mm knitting needles would be a close match to the knitting machine. You could definitely follow the same stitch, rows, and decreases with hand knitting!
What is US medium size in EU? is it M or L or 38/40?? Thank you so much ! ^^^^^♥
Did you start on hook 40 for the front panels? I can’t tell and when I did they look a little odd.
Hello! To make one front panel you can start on hook 1. And for the 2nd front panel you can start from hook 40 as it will make decreasing on the opposite side easier :)
Manual tutorial please
The sweater is very nice. Do you have a pattern you follow?.
Thank you! I'm currently pattern testing the design, it will be on my Etsy soon :)
Hi thank you for sharing this tutorial! Would just like to know how many ply your yarn is? Thanks!
Hello! Sorry for the late reply, this is 4-ply yarn :)
Waw it is wonderful job! How much it costs costs to afford the sentro knitting machine?
Thank you! It was about $80 CAD I have a link in my description if you want to check it out :)
can I use 40 needles?
what do you mean by decreasing round for the cuffs? would you be able to write out instructions ?
Hello! I did a single crochet decrease along the (48 stitches) and slip stitched into the start to make a round. This should make 24 stitches total, as I wanted the cuff to be smaller than the sleeve. I hope that helps! I'm planning on making a written pattern but it will take some time to pattern test for different sizes.
Can I make this with a round loom knitting loom ? I don’t have the machine 😢
How long does it take you to make the cardigans? Greetings from Peru 🥰
Would it be possible to make a curve in the waist kind of like you did the neckline?
So pretty! what kind of yarn do you use?
Hi! I am using Caron Simply Soft acrylic yarn in this video (4 ply, size 4) :)
Hello this is cardigan is so cute and I wanna make one. How many ply of yarn did you use? ❤🫶
Hi thank you so much! I am using 4 ply medium weight yarn :)
Wow
40 needles knitting machines can use to make cardigan?
I believe as long as the tube can fit around you arm and if two panels cover the front you should be alright.
Did you try?
can i sew the panels togheter with a sewing machine ?
Can i do this without a kniting machine and if i can how many cast on do i have to do for each part
Definitely! I think 5.00mm needles would be the equivalent size, if you pause at 3:32 I have all the row and st counts as well as inch measurements for the panels
Hey! Thank you so much for your tutorial! I have a quick question - when you switch colors are you cutting the yarn or are you just putting it back in the center?
Hey, thank you! I just put the yarn back in the center but later I cut and tied them together. I find it a bit faster to do it at the end of you have enough length to :)
@@kims_threads oh this is a life saver tbh. Did you cut them after you mattress stitched the pieces together :O
@@ashleytorres563 Yes I cut them at the very end!
❤
This is stunning! What are the dimensions of your final product?
Thank you! I have the measurements at 3:32 (written in black in inches) 💖
@@kims_threadsThank you so much! I wasn't sure if those were the initial goal measurements, or if those were the final measurements once it was completed.
What material was your yarn? I'm using weight 4 acrylic yarn and it's really rough with the machine (doesn't slide off easily while cranking)
I also used size 4 acrylic yarn. You could try a looser tension position with the yarn just in the first hole of the tension guide
My machine only has 40 pins. Is there a way I can still make a medium?
How I calculate row & stitch count are in this video: ua-cam.com/video/UHtIvaq1IM4/v-deo.htmlsi=0BDkoKC8EXCYXcfO
(it's for a sweater vest but i used the same methods for this cardigan) ♡
how much did you cast on for the arms?
I have a question when people say to add waste yarn what is that exactly?
Waste yarn is used to surround your working panel, sometimes the first and last few rows can have less tension or dropped stitches so using waste yarn can help prevent that.
Later you would remove it and people generally use yarn they don't like for this that's why it's called "waste yarn", hope that helps! There's lots of tutorials around it too :)
Can you do this in a 40 hook machine?
What measurement should I get for the width of the sleeve?
Hi, if you are also making a size medium I'd recommend using all 48 hooks and 66 rows
@@kims_threads should I take measures of any specific part of my arm to make sure it will fit me?
@nombre2745 you can use the shoulder measurement centered on your body (at 3:32) to find where the sleeves starts on your arm. Then measure the length of your arm, the sleeve is (14 inches for 66 rows) but keep in mind the cuff is an extra 3 inches. I hope that helps!! 💗 I'm planning to make a more descriptive video on how I gauged everything but it might be a couple weeks before it's posted!
Please how do you avoid the slip stitches making the project too tight?
Hello! You can make the slipstitches with very loose tension, if needed you can try using a crochet hook that's a few sizes bigger to make sure the slipstitches are staying loose
I'm considering buying a knitting machine, is it worth it?
Brasil🇧🇷
Unfortunately I don't have this machine😢
🥰🥰🥰
Hallo, tolles Video aber bitte erklären Sie doch in einem extra Video wie Sie die weiße Umrandung gehäkelt haben, also mit welchen Maschen. Das wurde in diesem Video nicht so richtig gezeigt und mein Englisch ist nicht so gut das ich das verstanden habe. Dankeschön LG Gabi
Hi! Is 40 needles can do this too
Hi! You should be able to do a slightly smaller one by casting on 36 for the body panels. The difference would be around 1 inch smaller in the sleeves and 2 inches on the body. Mine was oversized for a size Medium, I hope that helps!
@@kims_threads thank you so much for answering! 😭🩷
How many rows would you recommend adding to the sleeves, back panels and front to make an xl
Hi, I'd recommend 45 sts for the start of the back and front panels! But to be sure I'd make one panel first and and lay it over a cardigan that fits me well to see if it's about half. From there you'll be able to gauge the size and stitches, hope that helps :)
Is it possible that the panel for the arm is too long? I made 125 rows and the final product is really long only on the arms😢
Hi there! In the tutorial I made my sleeves 86 rows but I found it was too long for me so I recommend doing 66 rows, I show all the st and row counts at 3:31 :)
Can I use a 40 needle machine for this? How many grams of yarns did you use?
0:30 350g and 150g
There's like 3 sizes of this machine a small one a medium and big ... which one do you have ?!
It's the big one! Should be 48 hooks :)
@@kims_threads thanks
What yarn type did you use
how many inches is the back panel?(Im confused about the measurements you've wrote)
Hi! My back panel was 13 inches in width and 18 inches height, hope that helps 💗
thankyou so much!
Does it have to be the 48 knitting machine? I have the 40 knitting pins
I have same question
Hello! For my dimensions at 3:32 I cast on 40sts for the bottom, for a 40 pin machine it might be hard to do, you can try it with looser tension or adjust the st count to be less, maybe 35sts instead. I hope that helps!
Can i aks please answer me !!
I have machine smaller than you have a little bit
Does that work too?
Hello, I have a 48 hook machine! For my dimensions (3:32) I cast on 40 sts for the front and back panels. You may need to adjust the sts counts to be less depending on how many hooks yours has
Nice end result but the directions are a bit unclear. It tool me a lot of rewinding to understand.
Why are they always so short ? Every single one I see people make are these weird truncated sweaters? Is it a limitation of the machine?
No limitation. Make it longer if you want, duh. It’s just a trend to wear short cardigans. Don’t be mean.
Tried Making this... Looked terrible. I do a lot of cooking, and YT channels are Sus. My sewing ability is not as good as my cooking, but I find this sus. However that sweater is beautiful
Sus how...?
Why sus?
what do u mean sus?
@@roseb111maybe he’s not familiar of what sus really means I would use it and didn’t realize I thought it meant something else😆

Think about how acrylic & Vegan clothing doesn’t breakdown, not good for the earth! Think about always trying to reuse items and use cotton, bamboo, wool and leather as they are compostable, silk ok?
Thank you for your comment and I appreciate your message! I do plan to transition to natural fibers in the future but at the moment I'm prioritizing using what's in my stash and also exploring different yarn options.
I hope you can understand where I'm at in my fiber journey and I wish you the best on yours ❤️
