Pattern goes something like:
Cast on and plain knit for was many rows/rounds as you like (I did roughly 68).
For pattern:
*Remove yarn from guide.
Beginning with needle 1...wrap the yarn around two needles at a time, advancing the work with the handle...and ending at the last two needles having been wrapped.
Place yarn back in guide.
Knit 2 rounds of plain knit...ending just before the last needle of the second round of knit.
Remove yarn from guide.
Wrap the yarn around the last needle and first needle, advancing the work with the handle...ending with one last set of needles having been wrapped. The last needle (#46) will not have been wrapped.
Place the yarn back in guide.
Knit 2 rounds of plain knit...beginning with needle #46 that was left unwrapped.
The pattern now resets, repeat from star as many times as you would like. Finish off with as many plain knit rows as you would like. I did 7 pattern rows and finished with 10 or so more rows of plain knit. (I hope this makes sense!)

Could you please do more Addi tutorials? Your teaching style is amazing. I learned so much! Just got my Addi yesterday! ❤

[@maryjanedavidson2804]

Sounds like we will be learning together, just got mine today.

[@debbieebbiebobebbie]

I just got mine yesterday 🎉

[@krystallove100]

Hi! I just got my addi today and made my first hat watching and following your video. It came out perfect! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, that's so awesome! Have fun! What a great time of year to start. (:

[@mollyhannah2003]

Thank you for all your hard work on this video! Beautiful hat. Can't wait to see the next machine at work!

[@VianneyCreates]

Girl! I already played with the smaller machine today, and it is EVERYTHING!!! LOL! It made a nice tight stitch pattern. Will be up tomorrow! TYSM!

[@theresa4554]

Listen, this was a fabulous tutorial. I just got my machine today and followed along with you and made a hat! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

[@Marie0350]

Thank you kindly for this video!.. I’ve had my Addi machine for many many years !.. I’ve never did a pattern on it, so thank you. I’ve never made the square knitting on it also !. I’ve did make 2 pairs of long pants (@ least started the pants by doing the legs on the Addi and finish by hand). I also made countless numbers of eternity scarfs/neck gloves and hats to give to charity, friends, family and as gifts. I ABSOLUTELY ❤my Addi. It’s the best 🥰

[@VianneyCreates]

Wow, how fun!! I love the idea of pants!!! TYSM!

[@lendamorrisonsugg]

WOW!! What an amazing video!!!!! Vianney I was enjoying watching so much the time when by so fast. Didn’t seem long to me as it may have to you.. I can’t wait to see the other machine video.. The hat is just gorgeous.. A hat you made yourself.. what more satisfying could you possibly have. TYSM Just to be totally upfront. I have never picked up a knitting needle. Never purchased a “bolt” of yarn. ( that would be in my 68 years old) Learned something new is so much fun. Your videos are on the mark.. very best for learning from the beginning. ❤

[@karenf.6367]

Fascinating! Was not aware of these machines, so this was a revelation for me! It isn't something I would be interested in, but I so appreciate you sharing all your crafty finds and how they work!!❤

[@nancern53]

Wow , that turned out sooo cute!! I love it. I crochet, but, am not very good at knitting, so this would be great.

[@pearlepink9776]

“When she was bad, she was very bad.” 😂 I felt this

[@DKHatstodonate]

Vianney: WOW THANK YOU for this very thorough video of setting up and making a beautiful hat, love your style you have a special way connecting with those of us you are teaching. Ordered a 46 pin Addi yesterday and after watching this tutorial of yours I am confident with patience I can learn to use and enjoy my Addi. I crochet hats to donate to Cancer Patients really for anyone that needs a hat I can not crochet fast enough so this is my motivation to learn. Thank you again and have a wonderful 2024.

[@VianneyCreates]

That is so awesome! Thank you so much, and have fun with your Addi!

[@suehollahan6910]

I really appreciate those that are talented with fibers-it overwhelms me when I attempt to understand! Thank you for the demonstration!

[@VianneyCreates]

I am so glad I learned knit and crochet as a young person...it would definitely be much harder for me now. Hey, Sue...I saw your last comment asking about my gorgeous cutting! She did so well, but unfortunately the cutting began getting that weird like skeletal veining. I don't know how to better describe it, and she didn't make it. I don't know if it's a bug we have out here, bc it has happened to some of my other succulent type plants.

[@suehollahan6910]

@@VianneyCreates I lost mine during the “artic” freeze we had-asked a LA friend (that had cuttings from my original plant) to send me one-so this winter she was inside!

[@marziamerlotto2353]

😂😂😂😂😂muoio😂😂😂😂😂mi hai rallegrato la giornata. Io ho trovato le due macchine usate poco della prym sapevo che la addì è migliore però volevo provarle prima sei simpaticissima ❤

[@Janet-ys4jb]

Loved this!!! I have always wondered how these machines work! Great video! ❤

[@denisemills5957]

I thoroughly enjoyed this! I love how adventurous you are, doing all sorts of crafts. This machine would have intimidated me lol

[@suebl4037]

EXCELLENT ! ! ! ! ! Great job of showing us how to use this! I hope to get a machine soon, then I will watch this and work along with you! Thank you very much! See ya soon.

[@VianneyCreates]

So, at about 57:21 in I do measure the hat, maybe you want to check that out...and edit your comment! LOL! Just kidding, but the info is at that part. Have fun if, and when, you decide to get a machine. TYSM!

[@scottydog6539]

I got the same box for my large Addi. I also bought mine on Amazon.

[@SBlaine0917]

Thanks so much! This was really helpful!

[@JenniferBtheGroove]

You are such a Great teacher. Thank you so much for this video. I just bought the Addi and it has not arrived yet, but this is giving me great confidence and I feel less afraid and much more prepared to use it soon. I am So Grateful.

[@VianneyCreates]

Wow! That is so kind, thank you so much! Have fun and good luck!

[@patpocchio895]

I have that ultimate sweater machine from days gone by really like it made blankets for the family and friends

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, I should pull it out again, now that I have discovered patience is a virtue! It might go better for me...well, that and I understand knitting much better now than in those early days. I love that you use yours!

[@gabbingwithgrammee]

I had one of those!!!! I loved it and even wrote a couple of patterns for the keyplate news magazine. If yours hasn’t warped you are so fortunate! Beat machine ever!!!

[@pjbarnett5756]

I'm sorry, just saw you did the measurements for. the hat.👍

[@ginan3041]

Enjoyed watching this even though I have no desire to knit. 😀 TFS!!

[@tonyapeterson3776]

Thank you so much, and that pattern Is awesome, I've not seen it before so I will definitely be making some hats with this stitch.

[@RubySlippers415]

That is so cool! I have only done hand knitting and I’ve never had the courage to make a hat. I only make scarves and prayer shawls. I may have to try this machine! Thanks for the demo!!❤

[@BerniBernsify]

That's a pretty hat. It looks like a nice relaxing machine to use. I really like everything Addi. I used to have one of those flat long machines you mentioned. It was exactly like that, really good or really bad.

[@VianneyCreates]

Too funny! I do see there are a handful of people who make videos on the long/flat knitting machines. Not quite tutorials, so they aren't my favorite to watch. I think my machine just makes like a "fatter" knit and it's not my preference. I wish the stitch were thinner and more refined.

[@yasmineperret3481]

Thank you ❤

[@michellemedlin4539]

I ordered myself one for Christmas... it will be here this weekend. How would I know if it's a real Addi or a knock-off?

[@CFlagg-kq5zp]

Thanks! Just got my Addi King today and I'm looking forward to trying this hat.

[@VianneyCreates]

Have fun! TYSM!!

[@cathygreear2598]

Wow amazing. Do I need to start another craft hmmmm. 😂

[@VianneyCreates]

LOL! I know, that’s all we need!

[@lucillegoudreau441]

This is beautiful and thank you for your time , I’m copy cat this

[@lori-jocarroll]

You did a fantastic job on your hat!!

[@conniedunbar1211]

This was very interesting but I probably won't ever do anything like this. It is aa really cute hat. Blessings.

[@VianneyCreates]

It's definitely not for everyone!! I am really liking it, though!!

[@susanfrost1150]

Fascinating! I've been making hats for years with the regular looms which is getting difficult because of arthritis. This does make removing it from the loom much easier! I love the pattern too. HSN has 20& off with their app today.

[@livinginthenorthwoods]

Cool! I taught myself how to crochet and really enjoy it but now I’m going to have to buy this! When I do I’ll go through your link🤗

[@VianneyCreates]

That is so kind, thank you! These machines are pretty nice, and it's so much fun to have a project completed so quickly. I love crocheting, too! it's my go-to needlecraft.

[@mikaliunas90]

Great video!! I’m interested in getting a knitting machine! Love the pattern you did!❤

[@monakelly7441]

Question Vianney Are you able to do a knit purl knit purl on the knitting machine?

[@Tammy-un3ql]

thank you

[@VianneyCreates]

Thank you!! (:

[@scottydog6539]

Your hat is beautiful. Wow.

[@victoriabaumann3632]

That is so cool! Im defininitely looking into this! Thanks for the video!

[@VianneyCreates]

I am so impressed, I suppose quality does make a difference! LOL!! I hope to work with the inexpensive machine today.

[@lindaseng7003]

Thanks for the wonderful video!

[@VianneyCreates]

That is so kind! Thank you!

[@lindaseng7003]

@@VianneyCreates you mention in your video the hat seemed big. Did it turn out as an adult hat? Trying to figure out which Addi to buy, to make a child’s hat. Any thoughts?

[@ramonapadilla4429]

I notice that on amazon they have the electric adapter for the addi i must have i have this machine and i love it you should do a video with the adapter

[@veejackson1554]

How many circular rounds would you do before the pattern stitches? How many rounds of the pattern & 2 rows of knitting do you do before going back to circular kniiting? Then, how many final rounds do you do of circular knitting before casting off? Oh, I want to make this for a child 4 ys old on the addi .

[@samanthanicholson9015]

What did you make with that, I really like the pattern. Was that in the book? Pretty lace look. It would be nice for a bag. I got my 22 pin addi today, gifted to me by my husband. ❤🎉🎉

[@scrapnstitchtawnya5423]

Awesome 👏🏾 video!

[@VianneyCreates]

TY!! I love this hat!

[@erinlynette6070]

Is it a better quality machine for what you pay ?

[@pjbarnett5756]

So pretty! Is the hat large enough for an adult? Going to cast on this weekend.

[@scottydog6539]

I bought a large Sentro and one Leg cracked off. I cannot find anyplace to replace it. Sentro will not help since I did not buy it from them.

[@KreationsKimberlyRae]

I just got my addi from amz and it doesn't have the Gold on the box. Is this a knock-off? Any other thoughts?

[@autumnking8880]

Is this for an adult size beanie?

[@scottydog6539]

There are other tensioners called a tension fork. Etsy has them.

[@Kikibabys]

Does chunky yarn work on this machine? Like velvet, or cotton, or acrylic yarns?

[@VianneyCreates]

Worsted weight is best, but I have seen some people use eyelash yarns and some thicker yarns.

[@PatrickEmmerson-jb9no]

Can I knitt small sizes on this king size marchine , or is it different marchines for different sizes

[@VianneyCreates]

Unfortunately, it is different machines for different sizes. Although some people say if you use the different tension settings (like choosing one of the little holes over another in that yarn holder) you can get a slightly smaller or larger hat. I don't really see the difference.

[@erinlynette6070]

I thought the addi was metal ? Is it plastic like the sentro?

[@autumnking8880]

It is plastic, but apparently it doesn't drop stitches as much as the sentro. I haven't tried the sentro but I love my addi!

[@michellereyes8805]

What are the difference between the two machines you have posted is it one that rips the table and one that does not

[@VianneyCreates]

Oh, no! I assume you mean the Sentro machine might damage your surface? Or was there a typo when you wrote "rips?" Did you mean "grips?"

[@watikahwarwick4502]

where to buy? can it be sent to Indonesia?

[@sharonfarber5176]

Does it make anything besides hats?

[@VianneyCreates]

Well, it can also make itty bitty sweaters. LOL! I see people making pants and sweaters and I'm like "I could never." Headbands and other small items can be made once manipulated, but I think hats are the "go to" project. People are super creative and make like stuffed animals, too.

[@gizzmowalliss]

you can also make panels and sew them into blankets, scarfs and fingerless gloves. As well as stuffed toys.

[@debbieebbiebobebbie]

Oh no I subscribed for more Addi tutorials but you don’t have any? 😅

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, I'm sorry! Hope to in the future but that's mostly my "in the meantime" craft. I focus mainly on paper crafts.
