How to Knit "Mommy and Me" Sized Hats on a Knitting Machine

[@TomParsons-h3u]

Thank you for having both child and adult sizes. We have 100 students in our elementary school, and every October we have Hat Day. We- are a few ladies, and this pattern will make lots of great hats for the kiddoes.❤😊

[@monicab28]

I watched this video over two years ago and it started me on my way to making over 400 hats and finding my best selling craft fair item!! Thank you so much! I have made thousands of dollars from selling them!!

[@bbknits2074]

Have just ordered one of these , arthritis and shoulder problems has limited my lifetime of knitting. I’m hoping I can use up a lot of my stash and produce beautiful hats like yours 😊 thank you for a very helpful video , you and another KZbinr have inspired me to try this machine 😊

[@XxNekoJennyxX]

There is a drill bit attachment you can order on Amazon to put onto your knitting machine if you have difficulties with cranking the machine by hand.

Cool project! Very cute. I like to sew a button to the hat and attach the elastic pom loop to the button then it is removable for washing.

[@SarcasticLipStick]

What kind of button? I'm curious about now to attach a Pom! Make a video'

[@mamacox03]

Love your video. Thank you. I just got my machine yesterday & keep dropping stitches no matter how slow I go. So frustrating. I hope to be able to make your hat soon.

[@DianaLevineKnits]

That happened to me for awhile too! It depends a bit on the humidity, the kind of yarn. Sometimes the machines "like" a certain yarn better than other brands. I would try a different yarn!

[@kimberleypierce7981]

I saw someone who said their yard was "sticking " and not moving on the machine that great. She suggested running a Bounce sheet down your yarn as u go. It made it work better with that yarn.

[@khanyiswaaneliashosha4601]

Hello, where can I get the machine

[@trishrobbins9942]

Some looms have shorter “teeth” and there is no way to work without dropping stitches. The Addi looms are expensive, but provide more successful projects because they are well made.

[@dasheriicarte]

Looks like I’ve taken up the same hobby my Mom loved - making hats. She did all her hats by hand, which adds that touch of love but I wanted to take it up a notch by getting down quicker 😊 … Recently, lost my job due to health issues so I decided to learn how to crochet & a bell went off in my head to make hats like my Mom used to. Your video was so easy to follow, I can’t wait to make hats & scarves 🥰 - thanks for sharing!

[@donnawoodard2357]

Diana, After watching videos and trying my Sentro, I put it away because I felt the caps didn’t look finished enough to me. Your caps are simply cute as can be. Your instruction and demo are perfect. Thank you so much.

[@JCAM-z9r]

You can achieve a finished look by wet blocking the hats. It’s what I do for all my yarn work. I use the steam from my iron holding it over, but not touching, the work and tapping the stitches even. Then I pin the piece down on a blocking board and with a small fan or hair dryer, begin gently drying it. I let it sit for 24 hours so the fibers will set properly in place. You can also use a small garment steamer for this method. I have a little cheap one I got from Amazon or Walmart that works well. I made a wool cardigan on my Incredible Sweater Machine and blocked it. I then lined it with double-brushed thick fleece but blocked the main piece first then inserted the constructed, sewn fleece inside. It came out so well my friends thought it was store-bought. Please don’t give up on the machine and your ability to make someone happy with a thing you’ve so lovingly made. Just take your time “playing” with it until you get the hang of it. Let your Inner Child take over, maybe, to help you enjoy your creativity? And no, I don’t work for the machine’s manufacturer, nor do I know the young lady of this channel; I’m just another fiber artist who has plenty of experience with hand and machine knitting. God Bless you! 🙏🏽

[@joanieonie4135]

@@JCAM-z9r Good tip. Blocking is key. You don't need a special blocking board...straight pins into an ironing board work just as well.

I just made my 1st hat with the Sentro yesterday. I used worsted weight yarn and fed it through the middle slot on the tension. It turned out too tight and I don't have a very big head. I don't see that these two hats are different in width. Is there a way to make a larger aize. Thanks for doing this video!

[@olajidemotunrayo7657]

Thanks for the tutorial, please where can I get this kind of machine

[@sylviathomas463]

Have you use the smaller knitting machine

[@DianaLevineKnits]

The 22 needle? I use it all the time! But not for hats, they would be much too tiny.

[@sylviathomas463]

To tiny for a newborn

[@rodicabokar1298]

Hello, can you tell me how to knit linear with this wonderful machine? Today I also ordered this machine and I would like to know what other wonderful projects can be done, thank you. have a nice day

[@cookie761]

For those with larger heads, like mine, you would want to do the adult hat on the Sentro machine. The Addi machine has less needles and a smaller gauge.... so it makes a smaller hat I can't wear hats that are made on that machine unless it's real soft yarn. Thank you so much for these patterns. I may look into getting your pattern book. I don't see anywhere the weight of the yarn you used. Is it a number 4 or number 3? I believe the Sentro is 48 needles and Addi is 44. The gauges are also different.

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Hi! I always use Weight 4 yarn, it's just my preference personally. And definitely go with the Sentro if you want a larger hat. All knitting machine hats fit a little snug, but the Sentro is 2 needles larger so it's a bit bigger than the Addi for hats!

[@BrendaCHughes]

Hi just a quick question, when doing the hats how many grams of wool do you use? Also weight yarn 4 is that equivalent to the British double knit?

[@lozaloza882]

Thanks for the video 🌹 it's beautiful Is this a first time you use it? I have a new machine and it so heavy when I move the machine hand also I see white powder behind the needle. Is this a problem with it or does it just need oil?

[@marshallmays8171]

This happens to mine and I don’t know how to fix it

[@Emily-pn1rg]

Is there a way to make a newborn or even baby hat on a knitting machine or would you have to use one with fewer hooks? I see how the adult size is just longer but idk how you could make the circumference smaller.

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Some people make baby hats on the 48 needle machines, but with a smaller row count, and tighter tension. But for really small hats you'd probably use the 40 needle machine.

[@DianaLevineKnits]

Thanks for watching! I started wearing them when I film my videos because it helps my lens autofocus on my hands :) Otherwise the focus goes in an out and it's super annoying to constantly get the focus back! And then I just kind of got used to wearing them TBH, it's nice for when tying a lot of knots etc. They are linked in the description of the video if you want to order a pair! They are just regular fashion gloves, not particularly warm or supportive or anything.
