I have literally watched hundreds of videos on how to make these beanies. They always end up so complicated and they have extra steps that aren't needed. Your video was so straightforward! I absolutely LOVE the way you put the pompom on! I never thought to attach it like that! Thank you for the awesome video! Now I want to make even more beanies!
Howdy Nancy! You are inspiring me to get back on my Addi and get a bunch of hats made for donation. At least, that’s my plan after finishing a couple of wips. I may get an adapter and electric screwdriver to make them quicker. Thanks!
So glad to hear that! I love making all kinds of items with my machine. I am also finishing up a crochet project with my mom. We have been working on it for about a year!
I have been trying to make a double brim hat with my addi but the yarn becomes to tight when I put the last few stitches on the pins and the yarn snaps or I’m afraid I will break my machine. How do I put the stitches on the needles without creating so much yarn tension?
4V or lower, low power screwdriver (not a drill) - this info is VERY important. DO NOT USE A DRILL or anything stronger than 4V. There is no reason to make one full turn before picking up your stitches. Also, roll the tube upward toward the top that is much easier to do instead of the way you did it.

Try loosening the tension when you cast on with your machine. Then keep a consistent tension when you begin to crank. See if that helps.
4V or lower, low power screwdriver (not a drill) - this info is VERY important. DO NOT USE A DRILL or anything stronger than 4V. There is no reason to make one full turn before picking up your stitches.

Agree it must be 4V or lower. I appreciate your feedback! It's good to know that sometimes there's many ways to roll the yarn!
