This knitting machine tutorial is perfect for beginners. I use my 48 needle Sentro Knitting Machine to show how to make an adorable reversible beanie, but the instructions are the same for other types of circular knitting machines as well. Other hand crank knitting machines include the Addi Express Knitting Machine and the Knit Quick Knitting Machine from Loops and Threads. They all work the same way, but the Addi machines are more durable and therefore expensive.

Needed this! Most other tutorials are much longer. I needed one that was much more succinct. Thank you!
I have seen so many negative comments about people buying the machine and then can't figure it out....well please check out all the video first!!! I did when I was keen on getting my Sentro, I was literally addicted to it...I watched so many tutorials and since I love crafting, I learned a lot and then got my machine...unless you are into crafting and knitting you need to be patient..Love this video btw..Thank you!
Thank you! The careful and detailed cast on steps is exactly what I needed!
This is the best video I have watched for getting started. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Glad you liked it!
Wow, this is so cool!
Thanks!
I have never knitted in my life nor have an interest in knitting. My daughter picked up an interest and I decided to encourage her by buying all the necessary equipment, including the sentro machine. Before she used the machine, I watched a UA-cam video on how to use the machine while at the same time having a go with the yarn. I couldn't believe it, I made a scarf 🧣. I was very proud of myself. The next day, I taught my daughter how to knit with the machine. Who could have thought I would enjoy knitting. I had to post a short video on my channel. 😊
😂😂 4:27 4:27 😂😂. 4:52 😂 4:52 😂😂
Thanks !!
I had a go with the yarns that came with the Sentro machine, my finishing off wasn't perfect but it came out really nice still following your instructions as a rough guide :)
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, amazing
Thaanks!
Could you please do a dusting mitt pattern with the Sentra knitting machine
Thank you so much make a Bennie, I want to buy a knitting machine for myself.
I love this it was amazing. I have a machine and love it. I have The Innovation machine.
Thanks glad you like it! I'd love to see what you make on yours!
On peut mettre autres models tel que les pules les jillet oubien seulement bonnets et charpes?
Great tutorial, thanks! Can you show us how to purl on this machine? If it's possible? I can't figure it out on this, although I can purl on my old flat machine.
You can technically purl, but it's a manual process of removing stitches and then using a crochet hook to make the purl stitch.
If you're trying to do a rib stitch, it's easiest to knit all the rows normally that you want to end up as rib stitch. Then undo the column of stitches that you want to purl and use a crochet hook to make a purl stitch.
I have just purchased my unit and I love it so far. I am using it mostly just to do baby hats for the Nicu to use up some misc. yarn. Is your unit older? Mine had a black needle for the start and I don't have a counter? Just wondering if yours is newer or older. Thank you for the tutorial. It was very informative.
Onde comprar essa máquina, por favor me informe.
Thank you. Your amazing. How many rows do you use for a beanies?
Thanks so much, glad you like it! This one is 100 rows
У вас отличная вязальная машина Пойдёт ли шапок и носочков❤
Te lugar aqui no Brasil que vende?
I would love to see how to knit a dog sweater.
Thank you so much for a great tutorial 🥰 Do you knit children's beanies on the 48 needle too?
Thanks, glad you like it!
I would not recommend using the 48 needle for a child's beanie as it will be too big. I recommend using a 40 needle machine. For a baby, I recommend using the 22 needle machine.
@@ABCrafty Bless you thank you so much 😊❤
This is such a great video thank you! What size machine is this please?
Thanks! It's the 48 needle machine
I really love your tuto, i'm gonna follow it 😍
I need your help 🥺
Any advice please ! I have a simple sentro without the counting tool, how should i count to avoid making mistakes ???
And another thing Plz, i have 100gr of yarn, is it enough to do this reversible beanie ?? Or i need more ?
Thank you! You can use a stitch marker just like in regular knitting/crocheting to mark the start and a handheld stitch counter you can click each time the marker passes.
It depends on how many yards the yarn is, but it's possible it will be enough. You can always try it and then unravel it if it doesn't work out. That's the advantage of using the machine - it's super fast!
Can you only make a hat with this machine or can you nldo other things like scarves, blankets etc?
The machine has the P option to do panels. For clothes, blankets, sleeves...
i wanna u make a cat beanie so i can follow ur tutorial
🎉
How many rows would I need to make a larger brim for an adult ?
It depends on the yarn you use, how tight your knit is, and how long of a brim you want. Therefore the best way to decide how many rows is to knit a few rows (e.g. 10 rows) and you can then measure how long those rows are and use that to determine how many extra rows you should knit of each color.
Roughly how many yards of each yarn do you need to make a reversible hat?
It depends on the yarn you use, but likely around 200-250 of each color. In my case since I was using multiple strands, it was multiplied by the number of strands.
did you use three different balls of yarn to have three strings?
Yes, exactly
Çok harikasınız çok güzel makinayı nereden âlabiliriz ulaşım nereye bana dönüş yapınız lütfen
Thanks, glad you liked it! The link for where to get the machine is in the description
Can you clear up something for me. I am thinking about getting a Sentro knitting machine . But I hand knitted a hat last week and did everything by the pattern according to my head size and it had me cast on 100 stitches , so by the time I finished it would have been so big around it would have fitted a football helmet. So the Sentro casts on 48 stitches and all the hats I've seen by this machine look great. So I casted on 48 stitches on my number 6 circular needles using a 4 ply yarn and knitted about ten rows, the I cast off and put it around my head to see if it fit. It was horribly tight. What do you think about that?
I am really confused how this happens.
Oof, I know how frustrating that can be! The difference is with the gauge of the machine and the tension being used. You did the correct thing by essentially making a swatch to test first. Since all yarn is different it's difficult to say whether the yarn you're using on the machine is too thick, but the first step could be loosening the tension while you knit.
I tried this and when I changed colors, it dropped a stitch. Is it because when we changed colors, the yarn left under the white hook and the yarn we added under the next hook is not connected? How do I fix this? :'(
How I do it when I cast on my yarn I go yes no yes no if you finish with no you've made a mistake, it is so easy to undo the stitch then start again, if you practice this you'll be fine. I've a 22 needle knitting machine I would love to have a 48 knitting machine. ❤
How many needles does your machine have?
I have the 48 needle machine. I added a link to the description to the one I have
Is this a Sentro or Santro?
Mine gets dropped stitches no matter what I do😭😭😭 Ive tried multiple different yarn
oh no, that's so frustrating! I have found going slowly helps to prevent dropped stitches. It can also be a tension issue - so I recommend doing the first few rows holding the yarn in your hand and manually adjusting the tension you give to the yarn. Once you know how much tension the yarn needs to not drop any stitches, then you can place the yarn in the tensioner with the same tension.
Let me know if that fixes it!
@@ABCrafty did you get that from Amazon
@@mehchocolate1257 Yes I did. I link to it in the description.
Where I get this meishine
Hi, the link to the machine is in the description. Copying it here as well: amzn.to/3mqqID7
I cannot figure this out. It just skips the needles, thinking of returning it.
Make sure it's in the spout of the thread holder
you got yourself a santro lol
lol i know! Still works so that's what matters.. cracks me up every time I see the name though!
I am having a hard time seeing what I am doing.
Happy to help if you could please provide additional context
Can we please have one for a bikini?
