OMG thank you so much for this video, I just got my addi and I could not for the life of me do this. I have been knitting and crocheting for over 20 years lol. and was already to send this machine back. I make 100 beanies a year for homeless for charity and thought ok lets try this. But with this video I did it...Thank you

[@susanmassey1632]

I think this is an excellent tutorial, thank you for sharing it! The instructions were easy to understand. I especially like the way you started the hat. I have watched several videos demonstrating how to make a hat and yours by far is the easiest to understand. Now I am going to make several hats! Thanks again.

[@sassegranny4700]

This is such a good presentation. I'm so glad I can see the size of the finished hat. This is too small for such a big 46 peg loom. This keeps me from wanting this so expensive a knitter. I bought the knitting machine from Michaels and the same thing. All it will do is a baby hat. Waste of $$ but I didn't return in time. So I'm stuck unless I use it as a flat panel. I use heavy yarns. Thank you for your time in presenting.

[@noprettyboi]

Thank you! I am interested in getting an Addi Express. Your Video was very easy to watch and understand.

[@patriciaharrison4396]

Thanks! Perfect video, very easy to understand and clear. Now my hat brims are much better looking and I appreciate the time you took to create the video.

[@melaniehamilton7913]

Great tutorial. Helped me a lot. Saved so I can go back when needed. Thanks

[@lorenelittle4709]

Thanks for this video, it is so helpfulto see how to make the brim. You have helped me so much today.

[@jennybrennan910]

How do you change yarn after you do the double brim. Say I wanted to do another color

[@americanmade1701]

Thanks just got a small addi to do handwarmers and this will be great for the top...

[@darleneanthony5036]

Great video for a 1st time addi addict, lol. Btw, I also still like loom knitting and used a loom knitting hook to pull the brim loops over the needles to make the brim and worked fantastic. I was learning on my daughters Addi Express King size machine so now I will purchase my own. Thanks for the video and will look for more from you too.

[@CraftyGinger]

You're very welcome! Thank you for the feedback - Melissa

[@angel37au]

Hi thankyou for sharing , after making the Brim i take it off the machine and then i crochet the rest but i make the Brim much longer it worked out really well

[@jeflehardi91]

hello big big thanks !! this tips is perfect and simple : good for hat but too, socks, etc, very clear, video good quality

[@florencecox2022]

Just a tip you might like. Set up on waste yarn for 7/8 rows. Then use **contrast crochet cotton** for one row only !!!! Knit your rib and after pick up stage and knit on a few rows ( or when you finish) pull out the crochet cotton one row used. Then you can use the waste yarn a few more times until you see it ravel a bit?? Have the crochet cotton a nice length and it can be used many times. Note == I like to double the end of the wool and use it to pick up the stitches, it's much stronger and might not break when you pull it through !!! This next tip would work when you use waste yarn and pick up after you have a few hats on the go !!! I knit loads of hats for the Christmas box appeal for children . Another tip if I may. I would always leave a waste yarn 7/8 rows and the cotton row for next hat( hats) would do 6/8 hats and sit back and finish them off. 80yr old Crafty ❤

[@adelllberdaux2772]

Thank you. This was excellent.

[@ken_dan]

Great video! Love the angles and how clear it is. I’ve done the manual looms and they come with a hook that looks similar to the hook you’re using but are made specifically for the looms. ☺️

[@CraftyGinger]

Glad it was helpful!

[@joyellen]

Thank you for this video! How many rows do you make after the brim? From a beginner!

[@1wildwackywoman]

Great video - thank you. When you state ‘about 200 rows’ for the hat, does that include the 70 rows for the brim?

[@AlmasSewingShop-ll8li]

Hi there. Thank you for your tutorial on this. I'm struggling to make a beanie for myself with a head circumference of 56 cm or 22 inches. How many rows should I knit my beanie?

[@ms._may9525]

If your counter doubles and you said the brim is 75 wouldn't that actually be more like 37-38 rows? Can you give the actual length of your brim and finished hat please? 😁

[@sue4e3]

I kept wanting to say "a loom needle works" for the beginning of this video.But I will say the tool she uses is nifty enough

[@vickimurphyrn]

I used this video to put a tube scarf back on to machine to add more length. WORKED 🙌 Going to make the brim hat next. Thanks for your GREAT videos 😀

[@HJKelley47]

I have the small Addi. Love that little machine, however, the counter continues to present a problem. I sent it back to the company and they replaced the machine, however, the 2nd machine's counter continues not to give an accurate count. I still have to measure my Addi knitted items. What I love about the Addi is that it does not drop stitches like the Innovations Knitting Machine does.

[@luisadeperez111]

Excellent tutorial , you are awesome ! It’s clear and got even more info. Thank you so much 🌺

[@ms._may9525]

Since your counter doubles and you've gotten 75 rows before you do the brim does that mean you would normally need like 35-40 for a regular counter? How long inch wise is the brim and hat total?

[@conniedalton5360]

thank u so very much for ur very clear videos. God Bless and keep up the great videos 😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@LemireCassie]

Hi, thank you for your video. My question is this. I always seem to drop one stitch where the color switch is happening after the first five contrast rows before my main color of the hat. Can you help me with this. Thank you.

[@felinab7200]

I am a new circular machine knitter and watched this to learn to make brims. Thanks your video is easy to follow. I am having problems however in that on both my attempts, the brim turned out fine but it drops stitches around the third row after the brim or double up is attached. On both tries the dropped stitches happened on the same spots. Any ideas?

[@janecryer2893]

Thanks for the video. I was wanting instruction on a hat that I don’t have to double.

[@yingdiy195]

How many pins of the addi express knitting machine? Thanks for your vdo.

[@jerrymealeyjr3397]

You can get a tool like your dental pick called a knit picker it came with my round loom set along with a yarn needle, although the dental pick is very clever I loom knit but been wanting to get an Addi for a while your video help me in the fact that now I know I want one for sure

[@katiecorbin5803]

I love love love this idea! I've been trying to figure out a way to do a single-thickness beanie without the rolled edge. Fantastic, thank you! :)

[@karenlucarelli7603]

Can you use 2 yarns at the same time, to make a thicker hat? TIA

[@patschindler7147]

They say off counter is from static. Put dryer sheet in the hand and let your yarn pass over sheet.

[@lindahansen8857]

Can you do smaller sizes of hats with this machine?

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

If you have the niffty loom kit the red hook tool works great too. Happily I have two of those tools. Thanks for posting this!

[@elsagonzalez363]

The Walgreens instrument is called a dental scaler. Very nice video thank you for sharing. My right hand ligaments are all swollen and actually considering if this machine would be useful.

[@apadresfan]

I just got the addi kingsize. I really like it but it seems like there is a needle or two that likes to be stuck up, making it really hard to use. Any idea how to fix it? Thank You.

[@alisagumm8547]

I tried this. It totally worked. Thank You so much! :0

[@dollyj77]

I can't wait to get mines Thanx for the video

[@LemireCassie]

It is right at the 3:37 mark I am doing something wrong it creates a hole. And when I go to put the main color on the hook to make the brim I notice there is one missing. So between the last white and first black this is happening.

[@costanzaiuliano1658]

Posso sapere dove lo posso trovare grazie questa macchina per maglia

[@lydiasalle2597]

Bonjour Existe t'il un tricotin mécanique avec plus de 48 picots svp . Merci d'avance pour votre réponse

[@susanruzicka2555]

great video !!! Boy this really showed me why i want to use the scrap yarn. Maybe you could teach me how to make some boot cuffs or fingerless gloves :-) pretty please XXOO

[@LaChelle1962]

I love the video great job. looking forward to seeing more videos from you. I love the Addi my daughter and I just made 7 sets of hats and scarves the hats were tubes with pom poms on top like the ones on Margret Olanders channel. The scarves were made on the smaller Addi with pom poms.

[@jackbauer2698]

I feel like this thing could use a power drill attachment.

[@CHICHISWEETS]

Hi, I came here from Marilyn Lacey's channel. She gave your tutorial a great review. I could see what you were doing very clearly...so I must give this a try! Also, I like the way you showed your yarn choices.

[@melissaerickson4677]

CHICHISWEETS Thank you very much! I love these machines!

[@pattyellen1954]

I'm waiting for delivery of Addi!! Thanks

[@sarahbarton4977]

Hi there I am starting to make hats for my local cancer ward. I have a PRYM maxi machine does exactly the same as yours I just don't have a counter . How long in inches do I have to make the brim before I fold it . And also how long should I make the rest of the hat please . If you can help me I would be so grateful thank you sarah from England

[@haydenmaguire4799]

Great Vlogs, Are you able to use fluffy or delicate blends like mohair? ALso, when using the panel knitting are you able to use less stitches or do you have to use the complete pegs on the knitting machine?

[@HiddenFarmApalachin]

Great video, totally complete! Thank you!

[@susanruzicka2555]

I have another question about what gauge yarn you have played with on this machine. have you tried a "thicker" type yarn or maybe 2 "at once" of those thin loopy fancy yarns? Any thought on those kind of ideas would be really interesting ~ what do you think?

[@ke5wl804]

Store the needle in the hole on the left side of the machine. You can use a small crochet hook to pickup the loops too.

Thank you for the feedback. - Melissa

[@florencehoward9423]

When you make your brimmed hat you make it look so simple than most of the video I have seen. Thank you so much for this video on using your Addi Express King. I will try your method, and I have sudscribed to your channel as well.

[@Divineveggiemama]

GREAT tutorial! Thank you for sharing.

[@catherinelane9631]

Do you think that's the beanie that's you just made are to long?? Curious

[@heatherwatson8273]

Hello, is it possible to just pull the waste knitting undone without cutting and wasting it so it can be used again? Also can jumpers be knitted on this machine?

[@MSlattery513]

Heather Watson Between the waste yarn and the main yarn, knit 1 row with a thin, smooth yarn, like cotton or rayon, or dental floss. After the hat is finished, pull on one end of the thin yarn. The waste yarn will pull away from the hat and can be reused.

[@sarahbarton4977]

Love your chair

[@MrMvfgogo]

Thank you for sharing, awesome techniques, got my machine today :-) Michael Fedele from Florida

[@nikitathatal5350]

I am in India, I liked it but How can I buy it?

[@Madmen604]

Why not hand knit p2 k2 for brim, then transfer the needle stitches to the machine.

[@genielaury]

You probably could find a loom hook at craft store and use like your dental pick. It’s shaped similar to the dental pick

[@CraftyGinger]

Can you turn closed captioning setting on for me? So I can understand what you are saying

[@CraftyGinger]

That's up to you.

[@Kaizin00]

I can't seem to get my pieces right. I usually hand knit hats and sell them with size 7 needles (US) with Red Heart acrylic yarn. But when I use this machine, the space between the stitches is huuuuuge. I'm not dropping stitches, yet my product has enough stretch and is so thin that you can see hair when wearing a hat made from the machine. What do I do?

[@classixuk]

Use a thicker yarn. x

[@accetturaanna]

could you write down the instructions ?thank you

[@natashaswain3698]

Hi dear, I jus saw ur video on hat. It was v nice. Can u pls send me some details like blanket, sweater can be knitted in this machine. Thanks Natasha I hope u will reply soon.

[@virtualadmonisher6844]

Can you type whole words? Makes it easier to read.

[@tricchete20]

do you have tha addi express of 46 points? I would like to buy it but I'm indecisive if you take that by 46 points. sorry for my English

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

[@nightowl4137]

This machine is not cheap so is it worth the price ? I want one but I'm afraid if it breaks the company wont back their product . WHAT DO YOU THINK ?

[@naomidiaz5272]

The machine, unlike the cheaper versions, is modular. There are screws right at the top. I just got mine on Amazon for $169 (less than list price) USD. It's sturdy, it's 6 hooks bigger than the pink amazon equivalent , and I'm sure because of the quality I will use up my extra yarn and get it out as charity projects. My 15 dollar little one broke in 3 weeks. If you want to do this for many things, for making tons of hats for craft shows, for tons of presents, cool projects, and for charity, this thing is the best. If you think you'd flake out and not use it despite the quality, I would recommend the not great but good 40 needle amazon version... but the 46 needle is good enough for my head and 40 needle would be too tight, especially double sided or with a brim.

[@naomidiaz5272]

Modular means it comes with extra parts, german engineering, and an Amazon.com return-ability... but no warentee is expressed or implied
