Thank you so much for your patience in teaching us all of this. I'm not crying from frustration anymore over my Addi since you've explained the little tips and tricks. I'm incredibly happy to also see that we're able to decrease and increase on this wonderful machine. I've knitted with a flatbed manual knitting machine for years but was looking for something that didn't involve so much preliminary set-up. The Addi machines have been time savers and are really so much fun to use because they're much easier to use at start up. Thank you for helping restore my confidence! Angel Blessings!
+A Thomas Your quite welcome, Im glad I've been some help in you enjoying your machine.. I always love hearing that people are learning and creating things for themselves. Thank you for such a nice comment.
Both of my Addi knitting machines do not have the digital counters. So, I have never had issues with the counters messing up. This was a very informative tutorial. Gave me a few ideas for other projects as well.
Hi. CONGRATULATIONS. I've never watched a video IN FULL. Its Fast Forward and when they find they have come across a problem they stop the video FIX THEIR MISTAKES and start showing the end of their work. Frustration 🤨. You spent a good deal of time from the BEGINNING to the END with no FF or cheating to complete your project. That was fantastic. A pleasure to watch and I enjoyed every second, sometimes holding my breath when you picked up stitches 🤣😂💕. I seem to get hooked to this machine. 😁 I dont have a CIRCULAR MACHINE but I intend investing in one. I have 2 Electronic Knitting Machines a Brother and Singer but never tried socks or mittens on them. Too lazy. I noticed that ALL YOUR VIEWERS are in full admiration and full of appreciation for this super great in detail video. Thanks for sharing caring and making a 70 year oldie SMILE 🥰👍👍👍👍👍💐💐💐💐💐💓💓💓
извините, что по-русски) не знаю английского языка, но ...это гениальная технология вязания варежки на подобной машине) ждала, что Вы снимите петли и будете вывязывать палец на спицах)))
Thank you for taking your time to explain everything! I can see using this for those times that a shelter or other place has an urgent need of mitts (and hats).
Thank you so much. I had no idea that one could knit mittens on the addi. I don’t have the smaller addi but this will be my next purchase. Ann from Va.
Thank you, Suzy, for doing this video. I needed to learn how to use the waste yarn in addition to everything else you taught us in this video. Thanks for your help.
I was so scared to drop the stitches that I waited to try this. Man was that dumb. Suzy you walked us right through it!!!!! And I totally did it. Thank you so much for your videos. They are such a great learning tool and so much fun to work with.
Yes I too thank you for another great video. I see mittens in my future too. I've yet to try back and forth knitting, so this is one I need to try. Of course video will be on while I make this lol.
I managed to adapt this pattern to my king size addi - thank you so much for the video. It means I have a side seam along the thumb side, but I can live with that.
Worked great!! I used my Red Heart Made by Me circular knitting machine to do it...has the same (22) needles as the Addi Express Professional... thanks for posting the tutorial!!
hi. thank you for at very good video. im very gratefull that you have taken time to make this for us. may i ask if there is a way to adapt this to severel sizes? kid-teenager and adult.
Thank you for this tutorial. Question??? Can you use the waste yarn method for a brim beanie? I hope I’m saying this correctly... I’ve only made hats with fold up brims. Thanks again
You can use it for anything you wish to add or manipulate the stitches for. Waste yarn is used to hold stitches, its you that decides how these stitches are to be used for .
If you google you will have books but if you go to my facebook group we have a pattern library there filled with many free patterns facebook.com/groups/addikingloomersandknits/
I am having issue with it dropping stitches right off the back i just got this my mom brought the innovation for me i am ordering the adi king i found it for a low price. all the videos i find are all on the adi so i figured i would get it. Thanks for being such a good teacher.
+Tamyko Ennis keep practicing.. Note that the mitts are made on the small addi the innovations or king size Addi would be too big.. Here is a video that I recommend you to watch to help you with your stitches ua-cam.com/video/cgz758TeJh0/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for this wonderful and clearly explained video. Just so I understand correctly, when you did the thumb with the flat panel knitting, you didn't flip the switch on the Addi to flat knitting, but left it on circular knitting. Am I correct?
+Rose Leblanc To make mitts: Addi Professional (small one 22 needles) it makes round and flat panels the width of a tennis ball. The Addi Kingsize is 46 needles will make baby to Adult hats etc.. will also do flat panels.. Great for hats, wider scarves, sweaters, afghans etc..
I am just wondering about using this technique for socks - I don't see any patterns for socks using the add knit, but aren't you essentially turning a heel with that thumb part? Maybe it would be too much hassle but it seems like it could work. Of course, there wouldn't be a ribbed top but I'm not sure you'd need one, right?
+DrChiron Good day sir, here is someone from our group who has done an excellent job in explaining how to do a sock on the addi express pro: ua-cam.com/video/fV7Vd8XHGuo/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/7wb5sPoL4Gk/v-deo.html
Very nice video, Suzy! Do you use the blanket stitch to sew up the thumb from the inside or outside? Also, is there a way (other than using a double strand of yarn--because the Addi will not like that at all) to make the entire body part of this mitten doubled (like in a tube & with 2 thumb extensions)? I ask this because it is my fingers & thumb that get cold...not my wrist arm area where it is already so thick (4-ply after it gets folded back). Thanx!
I have been hunting and can't seem to find a demo on how to knit socks on the addi (with ribbing and heels) - do u have something like this? or know of one someone else has done? I did see once once before but can't find it now
+Iva Lindsay this is in our group under addi videos, it was only uploaded to our group and is not on youtube. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152293892093944&set=oa.480149028766395&type=3&theater

Question: HELP!! After I cast on with five rows then attach my next color I am ending up with a hole between the last white and first black. I have tried the slip knot and everything. BUT the white peg before black gets BIG hole : (

I am looking into buying an addi express machine. the price for the king size is just 20 dollars more than the normal size. both prices are from addi through Amazon. Should I go ahead and get the king size?
It depends on what you want to make. Mittens, socks, narrow scarves are made on the addi express professional. The larger items such as hats, sweaters, afghans wide scarves etc are made with the addi express king size
I guess you have to ask yourself what it is that you want to make more of... Mitts are done on the little express.. Here is a document from our group that might help you decide: These machines come in two sizes: Addi Express Professional The addi-Express Professional features 22 needles Circular knitted items - Ø 10 to 15 cm (4" to 6") Plain knitted items - 15 to 20 cm (6" to 8") wide You can use nearly all kinds of yarns, recommended yarn thickness 3.5 - 8 Best comparison for a tube with would be something that would fit around your arm or leg. You can make PREEMIE size hats with the little one. It makes hats the size of a tennis ball to give you an idea. Panels can be stitched together in order to make your items wider. Examples of what you can make with the addi express pro: socks, preemie hats, narrow scarves, mitts, fingerless gloves, cozies, pieced together afghans, piece together baby sweater. Your imagination is endless. Knit in minutes on the addi Express! Just crank and watch your creations grow before your eyes. Addi not only offers the Express machine in orignal and King-size, but also available are the stoppers and pattern books. The addi Express original features 22 needles. Sizes are listed in approximate US sizes -AND- exact metric sizes for your convenience. All addi knitting needles are manufactured to exact metric sizes. Please Note: Every addi product purchased from an Authorized addi Dealer comes with a Lifetime Warranty from any manufacturer's defect. Addi Express King Size It comes with 46 needles; which is more than twice the number of the original addi Express professional, allowing for larger pieces. Knit in minutes on the Addi Express; just crank and watch your creations grow before your eyes. It contains 5 replacement pins, 1 threading tool, 4 feel 2 clampers Even larger knitted items, will give you more possibilities. The add-Express "Kingsize" model should be mounted onto the table to ensure it remains securely in position. The machine leaves nothing to be desired. Simply turn the ideally placed handle and the "Kingsize" will begin to turn. With the 46 sturdy pins, you will be knitting trendy scarves and woolly hats within a matter of minutes and you will be knitting smart sweaters and jumpers within a few hours. Both models have an electronic row counter it enables work to be carried out with precision. Measurements: Circular knitting-35 centimeters, Flat Knitting-45 Please Note: Every addi product purchased from an Authorized addi Dealer comes with a Lifetime guarantee from any manufacturer's defect. Examples of what you can make: Afghans, sweaters, wide scarves, Child to Adult Hats, skirts, boleros, afghans just to name a few... Designed and built in Germany to exacting standards and using finest materials available Check out the LIBRARY for all kinds of great project ideas for inspiration. Yarns: It would seem like every machine, they all have their different characters. Mostly Addi does not like stiff yarn or COTTON. Bulky yarns are a challenge to work with such as chenille (but not impossible) it’s just harder on the machine. I personally have found the best acrylic yarns are a 4 ply (north American) such as: Red Heart With Love, Bernat Premium, Carons Simply Soft, Vanna’s Choice, Deb Norville Everyday, just to name a few. Natural Fibers work as well, whatever you decide to use; as long as it has a bit of a stretch to it there shouldn’t be much of a problem. Note: Red Heart Supersaver yarn is a bit of a challenge, but if you use a bit of weight and watch your stitches more, there should not be a problem. *The trick is not to go too fast.. At a steady rate of speed and watching that your stitches are knitted properly you can easily achieve making your project in no time at all. For difficult yarns, trying using light weights to hold down your project. *The average hat takes between 20 - 30 minutes to make. We have plenty of videos and patterns to help you learn from in our Library.. it is an ever growing library all achieved from our wonderful facebook group members. This is a great resource for many Addi users whos mission is to pay it forward in helping each other out in their learning abilities and passing it on to the next. It will be a great inspiration and your motivation tool for creating and achieving your ideas. Where Can You Buy A Machine? There are many places you can buy these machines in all different countries around the globe. Google is your best friend, check out prices (do your research) as they occasionally do go on sale at different prices. Just remember whoever you decide to go with, make sure they are known and have a reputation. As with anything on the internet, go with well-known places. Here is just a little bit of suggestions of places that I know have a good reputation and great service. Mary Maxim Paradis Fibers Woolery Amazon
?? I show you how to do the whole mitt on the machine in the video. If you want to knit it off the machine you would transfer the stitches on to a 6 mm knitting needle and do that if you would want to continue with it.

You are very welcome, Im so glad it is helping people in expanding their knowledge.

Hello how are you doing today hope you're doing great
Awesome video. Very thorough in your explanations and showing us the details of the different stitches. Thank you
That's the best thumb I've seen yet on a set of mittens.
I made these mittens and found they only fit my son. I'll need to increase rows.
Saw your channel for the first time today and subscribed. Thank you for the Addi lesson!

Yes I too thank you for another great video. I see mittens in my future too. I've yet to try back and forth knitting, so this is one I need to try. Of course video will be on while I make this lol.
You think it could be possible to make another thumb on the opposite side so they can be the arms of a doll?
This is what I have been looking for! It made making mittens with thumbs easy! Thank you so much 😊
I just got a knitting machine yesterday and this video makes me so excited!!! Thank you for an excellent video!!

Total genius. Than you sooo much for this. I am a newbie to addi and also to knitting but i want to make mittens for christmas presents.
Great Demonstration, easy to follow.Will be trying this out on my new little Addi. Only hated the adds that continued to interrupt the demo.
Ya youtube is control lol I'm glad the video helped
I'm looking forward to making this with my new machine.
This looks really interesting! My wife has requested mittens, and I'm always interested in a low-sewing option for the machine.

this is the only other size I know of ua-cam.com/video/twBIR8AcTnQ/v-deo.html
for my pattern I would just say to do less rows for the mitt and thumb it should fit for any size that way.

correct, you dont need to use your switch
Hi do you need a small machine and a big machine.. for example to make a child’s hat to an adult hat or scarf??
For what you stated you would use the kingsize. The small pro is for things like mittens, the width is the size of a tennis ball
I live in a drastically cold region and need doubled up mittens, is there a way to do this? I like how the thumb is done on your mitten a lot.
Wow!!! I have to try... Greetings from Germany... ❤️
Hi. Friend dear. This tis totally awesome . Thank you for good sharing. ❤️ I wish you have a nice day ❤️
So tell me does the addi express makes adults hats or just children things … I want to buy one but I thi it’s goi g to be the big one
How many pins are on this addi machine? Is this the king size addi machine?
I can’t do the thumb I drop the stitch’s I can’t see the work very good can you show or tell where someone is doing a plan knit couloir plz
Fantastic! You are really smart! Thx so much!
thank you ! very clear, good video and tempo; good explain
Отлично!!! Спасибо за труд!!!
Great Work! Does the Addi machine like any kind of yarn or do you have to use certain kinds? With my Sentro I have to use Carton Simply Soft
It works best with a yarn that has a bit of stretch to it, Caron works fine.
What is the widest the addi can knit? I want to make a shawl.
Fantastic video! Thank you x
which size addi machine did you use for this? Don't have a machine so would like to know which size to buy

if you are referring to placing stitches on holder, sure thing.

Red Heart With Love, Bernat Premium, Carons Simply Soft, Vanna’s Choice, Deb Norville Everyday, just to name a few. Natural Fibers work as well, whatever you decide to use; as long as it has a bit of a stretch to it there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
Note: Red Heart Supersaver yarn is a bit of a challenge, but if you use a bit of weight and watch your stitches more, there should not be a problem.
*The trick is not to go too fast..
At a steady rate of speed and watching that your stitches are knitted properly you can easily achieve making your project in no time at all. For difficult yarns, trying using light weights to hold down your project.
*The average hat takes between 20 - 30 minutes to make.
We have plenty of videos and patterns to help you learn from in our Library.. it is an ever growing library all achieved from our wonderful facebook group members. This is a great resource for many Addi users whos mission is to pay it forward in helping each other out in their learning abilities and passing it on to the next. It will be a great inspiration and your motivation tool for creating and achieving your ideas.
Where Can You Buy A Machine?
There are many places you can buy these machines in all different countries around the globe. Google is your best friend, check out prices (do your research) as they occasionally do go on sale at different prices. Just remember whoever you decide to go with, make sure they are known and have a reputation. As with anything on the internet, go with well-known places. Here is just a little bit of suggestions of places that I know have a good reputation and great service.

Hi Suzy..I have a question...since I don't have a smaller Addi, only the King...Can the Mittens be made on the larger one also...?
+Sandra Cooney I am sorry Sandra not in this method, it would be way too big..
Oh ok, thanks for answering my question.
Yes they can be made on king size
Thank you 🐤🌿
This is totally awesome.
You can’t knit off the hooks how else would I in this
?? I show you how to do the whole mitt on the machine in the video. If you want to knit it off the machine you would transfer the stitches on to a 6 mm knitting needle and do that if you would want to continue with it.
bjr ses possible de faire des gants merci

I take it u brock your machine becuase you didnt close your hatch
not at all because I was just taking my stitches off the machine. In 6 years I havent even broken a needle, knock on wood lol.
@@Suzy-AddiKingLoomersandKnits another youtube channel this lady who has a even bigger addi who makes reversable hats said te hatch being left open is a big reason they break that and acrilic yarn messes up the counter reason why
