This tutorial is definitely a ten! Good job and thank you . The only thing I’m gonna say is that I’m old and I miss when the tutorials had instructions through talking not music. lol. 😢see old lady over here 🙋‍♀️

[@WMcrafts139]

Thank you so much! I totally understand how talking could be easier to follow and I’ll definitely work on it. Thanks for letting me know! 😁

[@fjolliff6308]

I'd like to recommend using waste yarn to count the rows. Just put a lil piece of yarn every 10-20 rows. Unless you have supreme confidence in your counter. I ended up with all of my panels being different lengths- one was 25 rows too long! You can also wait to close the second end of each panel until you sew the panels together, then pull out rows until they are the right length. I'm personally learning to knit better so that I can make up the short panels to match the correct sized ones without having to put a panel back onto the machine and risk messing it up.

[@WMcrafts139]

That’s a great tip, thanks!

[@dinekekuilder3184]

Perfect basic tutorial for a blanket! I'll use it for sure!!

[@AngieCee1]

Very cool!! Or warm i guess 🙄 lol I love this!! I wanna get one of these now!! Just knitted a whole blanket for my 6'2" bf at his request...it took me forever. This looks like much fun! Thanks ❤

[@efficientmoves6670]

how many did it take, i’m on my second one and it doesn’t look like 6 will be enough

[@Jojo_873]

Very nice tutorial. I love how the edges were stitched together. This technique really gives it a professional look that is so clean looking. Thanks for this!!!❤

You’re welcome!

[@tiffypoo828]

This is awesome. I have mastered beanies and scarves but I wanna make a blanket for my twin. She loves them. I’m going to Michael’s in the morning to get the yarn to start 😊

[@WMcrafts139]

That’s so sweet! I wish you the best of luck making it 😊❤️

[@lme4339]

Awesome! I just didn’t really get the crocheting part and ask myself if there is a way to knit a sweater like this maybe. Maybe a combination of knitting, crocheting and sewing? 🤔🤔🤔

[@WMcrafts139]

Thanks for your feedback! I might do a short tutorial on the crocheting separately, if needed.

[@Allthingsnicey]

Smart idea

[@needsomezzz]

I’ve never understood why ppl only use tubes to make blankets why not use the panel setting? You wouldn’t knit or crochet a double layered blanket typically so why when using the round knitting machine?

[@WMcrafts139]

Well, when you knit a panel the edges typically curl and you don’t get pretty edges. Also, the tube setting just creates a warmer and nicer looking blanket.

[@pjaypender1009]

You don't typically knit a blanket. A single thickness of something that big would stretch out of shape and be impossible to block. It wouldn't be attractive at all. These hold their shape, are warm and look pretty.

[@pjaypender1009]

Plus, using a braided join adds a beautiful touch you couldn't get with flat panels.

[@111meekxche]

I wonder how this would look as a dress dress👀

[@heatherdewit7897]

People knit single layer blankets all the time. Stockinette may curl at the edges, but there are plenty of stitches that have even yarn distribution that you do around the border that give you a flat panel with stockinette. These comments are ridiculous.

[@Maryann-wc9vo]

Thanks for the video. I like the tube blankets but have trouble stitching together it never comes out neat looking.

[@WMcrafts139]

Practice makes perfect, you’ll get there!

[@Bubkywubky]

Having the open tube could also be a way to put some stuffing or quilt batting to make it even warmer

[@WMcrafts139]

Yes, you could even use this design to make a version of a dog bed

[@darlenecostinett5]

Great job! Can you tell me approximately how much yarn it took to make? I would like to try this.

[@WMcrafts139]

I used the Lion Brand Pound of Love and it took me about 3 skeins to make this. ☺

[@elieshasullivan5473]

What is a skein? Is that three balls per panel? ​@@WMcrafts139

[@rebeccajaskie8343]

[@kemitchell9583]

Bravo!

[@Satirical_whit]

can you explain to me (a beginner) why you did it this way instead of using the panel setting on the machine? Like, did this give you a different texture? or thickness? or...just a different way to do it? either way, this was super informative! Thank you!

[@WMcrafts139]

Well, a panel tends to roll at the edges and is much thinner. This way, it stays flat and thick. Also it looks nicer, and is very warm.

[@heyheyjj]

Thicker, warmer, and honestly easier because you just crank in the same direction instead of going back and forth

[@user-ug1ed3vq4o]

Do you know what you would recommend for a baby blanket? Maybe 200 rows and maybe 3-4 tubes?

[@WMcrafts139]

It really depends on the size you want, but I would say 150-200 or 3 to 4 tubes like you said.

[@pegatheetoo1437]

I knit a blanket the regular way. It's pretty, but it weighs a ton! 😂

[@WMcrafts139]

It depends on your liking. You can knit it however you want, but personally I don’t mind the heaviness.

[@fireflysummer9214]

How long did it take to make? I’m looking at the Sentro, but it looks like you were cranking it for hours! Do you know if there is a motorized version?

[@WMcrafts139]

I must admit this was a time consuming project. However, it was worth it for me in the end and it I enjoyed the processes of making it. Sometimes I hooked up a movie while I sewed the panels together 😊

[@ChiekoMeng]

Hello! There are actually drill attachments you can get that will turn the crank for you, while you hold the button on the drill. I haven't tested it with a row counter yet, but it reduces the arm strain from actually turning the crank.

[@rebelmead1516]

There is also an electric attachment to motorize the machine. I’ve seen them on Amazon for about $30.

[@carolj2013]

problem with motors/drill attachments is they can melt the plastic parts if you go too fast. It's really all about perspective. It would take me WEEKS to knit a blanket this size/squishiness; compare that to hours, I'll take it! 😀

[@chrisjamnik6673]

Question, I have made afghans following this style but every once in a while when closing the other end the tails aren’t lining up almost like the whole tube has shifted and when I go to bind the panels together the points don’t come out straight like one panel will have the corners laying flat horizontally and another they will be vertical any help would be appreciative

[@WMcrafts139]

I don't have a great answer sorry! Maybe your row count could have been slightly off? I haven't made afghans yet so not totally sure. 😅

[@chrisjamnik6673]

@@WMcrafts139 I did add more rows instead of 300 I did 386, as the person it was for is going to college and her twin bed is on the longer side, sorry I call them Afghans but it is the exact blanket pattern that is in the tutorial only with more rows and different color pallet. I am going to try to make another panel and see if I can get it to not shift, I'm wondering if it could be a tension issue as the addi express king-size doesn't come with one so you have to use your actual hand to hold the yarn and apply tension, I'll keep everyone updated when I finish the panel

[@Momma_J]

Thank you for sharing your skills and abilities. Please share the demissions of the final project? Also how much yarn was used?

[@WMcrafts139]

Thank you for the encouragement! The final project was around 60 by 42 inches. I used lion brand pound of love and that used almost three skeins to make the finished project

[@Momma_J]

❤Thank you very much.

[@electricsunshine646]

I bought one of these and I mind it well, but it keeps dropping stitches, even when I go slowly and keep the yarn taught. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong!

[@WMcrafts139]

This can happen when your yarn is too thick or if your yarn is not completely in the end of the feeder. Also, if you crank the machine the wrong way suddenly, it will drop a stitch. That is a mistake I see a lot of beginners make. Hope this helps!

[@inklingduckling7087]

Check the tension as well.

[@unwilted_lilies8942]

Do you have to crochet or can you sew them the ends and the sides stiched together?

[@WMcrafts139]

You could defiantly sew them together, but I found I liked crocheting better and only showed that in this video. If you are going to sew them together I recommend using the mattress stitch. 😊

[@kaylabinder]

Ok I think my panels all came out different sizes but I PROMISE I used the same row numbers for each one! What do I do 😭😭😭

[@WMcrafts139]

That happened to me a few times and there’s no perfect answer I can come up with. However, I recommend stretching you panels first to get a similar size and see if that helps. Also when you’re crocheting them together, you could grab an extra bar or skip a a stitch. I’m a perfectionist and this bothered me but I did my best to hide the ugly stitches.I hope this helps!

[@mandybrellahan6367]

About what size is the blanket when it's finished?

[@WMcrafts139]

About 60 x 42 in

[@courtneyshewmaker9561]

Is there an easier way to remove the waste yarn after completing your project? You make it look so easy but mine wont come off with just a simple pull

[@WMcrafts139]

There’s always one side that will come off easy which should be the side you finish with. The other side you have to remove a yarn strand that is connecting all the loops and then you can just pull it. Of course there’s always scissors but make sure to be careful not to cut your project 😬

[@courtneyshewmaker9561]

​@WMcrafts139 I sat there did both for an hour but it ended up in a big mess so I used scissors but thank you I will try again with the end

How long did it took you to make this? Because i want to get a king size knitting machine for big projects. But i I unsure about whether to invest. 😅

[@WMcrafts139]

For me it took extra long because i didn't do it continually and like took a bunch of breaks. 😂 It honestly depends on how much you work on it and when you have time. I like to procrastinate so I don't have a great answer sorry!

You can use whatever yarn you want if it works on the machine. Just know the size might change.

Do you have an estimate on how many skeins per panel this took?

How much yarn did you need for the whole blanket?

Excuse me, what is the point in making a blanket working in the round? Doesn't that machine also make flat panels?

Yes, it also makes flat panels, but the blanket wouldn’t come out as neat and thick. Also it just looks nicer overall. Of course you can still make a blanket on the flat panel setting but I prefer the round setting for blankets.
