How to Knit Socks on the Sentro Knitting Machine + Helpful Maker Notes

[@yagernotes]

You are an EXCELLENT teacher! You explain things so well and your filming is excellent too. I can really see what you are doing. Thank you so much!

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Thanks so much 😊

I'm a knitter/crocheter and have TONS of yarn. I have everything from acrylic to wool to alpaca - so I'm no snob! But I've realized at my age that I'll never get to it unless I step it up somehow. So I've known about these machines for a few years and was going to get them last year (or the year before) but there was a run on them or supply chain issues, etc. I've been watching a lot of videos and went ahead today and ordered the 22, 40 and 48 inch machines.I have lots of grandkids and 3 live in snow country so I really want to make hats and earbands. I was really intrigued with the idea of knitting a sock but I think if I were to do it, I would skip the heel and just make a tube or pick up the stitches and knit the heel. Thanks for making this and showing what you can make on these machines!

[@erikacooper8348]

Yes agree with you re knit the heel and also pick up the top with a circular needle and do 1X or 2X rib before casting off.

[@LolaRyck]

Oh. You could do an afterthought heel with this sock if you can figure out which needles match the Guage

[@sherrymartinez5359]

Girl, you rock! I am blessed to have found your channel. I have been hand knitting for well over twenty years. (huge workout on my hands). Your socks are amazing, I have ordered both the 22 and 48 Knitting Machines, in a few day's I will be learning how to Machine Knit. Thank You for your inspiration.

[@sapphoculloden5215]

Another project which is helping to convince me that I need one of these machines. Thank you! It wouldn't have occurred to me to go from circular to panel knitting.

[@vindumaharaj104]

I have 2 sizes, 40 and 48. Now I want this 22! I spin out 4 beanies per night on these machines in 2 sizes! What a great birthday/Christmas gift for nieces and girlfriends😃

[@Kenzikins]

Your tutorials have convinced me I need to buy one of these next payday! Thank you for the in depth, step by step tutorials!

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Ooh congrats on your new machine and good luck on your projects!😊

[@rebeccaj138]

Were you able to buy one?

[@ElyaneGordon]

On Amazon on EBay

[@VondaInWonderland]

I made a sock! I'm so excited! Thank you so much, I couldn't have done it without you ❤️

[@nancylindsay8539]

Finally! Someone who holds yarn like me when crocheting! Love this video! Very helpful!

[@GaiaCarney]

I am so impressed, Infiniti Crafting Co 🤗 I had no idea you could make socks on a knitting machine! Beautiful results

[@caitlinware5723]

You're so talented!! Thank you for going slow and really taking the time to show how you made it. Can't wait to try this on my machine!

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Aw thank you so much 🥰 Good luck with your new project!

[@beforetime9206]

This is the best tutorial that I have ever seen. You are detail oriented and very skilled. The camera work was excellent. I enjoyed this video very much.

[@leighsanchez481]

Thank you for your tutorial on how to make Socks. I enjoyed watching this evening and will be giving it a try.

[@donnamoreau8998]

Circular sock machines r wonderful

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Agreed!

[@minnie781]

Thank you for the video .. it's really very useful and i love the technique 🌹 and i was thinking of doing the heels with the tunisian crochet techniques .. i don't know how yet but i like to try that 🤔 coz it will be easier with pucking the loops at once .. and it won't be thick like crochet stitches .. 🌹🌹

[@Painter931]

Socks are a challenge. I learned sock knitting by hand it's not easy took me a few tries to get short rows correct for heel and toes. Good for you for trying. If you have a circular knitting loom try on that first then go to the knit machine. I have made socks on knit loom also. You'll get it 👍

[@beckytonge1783]

Interesting...excited for my mini sentro to arrive to try this out. Thanks! 😊

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Hi Becky, Good luck with your new machine and projects! 😊

[@OakJaxx]

Thank you, this is fantastic & love the tips! Your socks rock 💙

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Thank you, I'm glad I could help! 😊

[@funnyg460]

I just got my machine did not know you could do 2 threads. I got some sock stop from Amazon so I don’t slip and break my neck lol. Thanks again for videos.

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Yeah! As long at the yarn isn't too thick, you can double strand. Usually I'll work with a 2 or 3 weight double stranded in this machine because otherwise the fabric can be a little thin. Oh my gosh lol please do be careful!

[@anissiabalistreri9612]

Wow absolutely amazed. I really want one now. This is great

[@jammiebidwell289]

Hi thank you for taking the time to make this video

[@DarlingandDear]

Thank you for making this video.

[@sharineeley7538]

Thank you !!!! I’ve learned so much from you ♥️

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Hi Shari, I'm so glad to help! 💖

[@maribelsoto6552]

You could also skip the toe and heel bit and make yoga socks and simply crochet all those seams thank u for the tutorial and in case anyone was concerned if the stitches between the knits and crochet don’t blend you could also just use the same color yarn I think she used the different color yarn more for clarity in the tutorial but this is great

[@Tlove1211]

Can this work with just 1 strand of socks weight? Or it won't catch? Love this video BTW 💙

[@satsumamoon]

I think knitting a standard " afterthought heel" would look and function a lot better.

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Same here, I've been working on that recently. I'm not a sock knitter though so it's a learning curve. 🤣

[@satsumamoon]

@@InfinitiCraftingCo Oh I see :) well once youve learned it, the heel is the most fun part :)

[@laurathompson1808]

How would you do that.

[@merrymarshall3488]

Excellent video 🥰🥰🥰

[@heatherslade2566]

I read your maker notes it says that you used 6 inch from toe to heel. Do the 8 panel rows count in the 6inch or do u count the 8 panel row to the 29 row you do for the top of the sock

[@knittingnana2939]

I have the big sentry but the small addi. So I am going to try it on the addi

[@sigi8055]

Hi! Thank you for this super handy video. Do you think this sentro size would also be suitable for making knee/this high socks or leg warmers? Greetings!

[@anastasiaschlarbv_vlogs7232]

Depends what body type you have if you’re a little more thick no I’d say use the 48 machine

[@seeker9922]

How did you do the chain 1 at 21.38? I'm quite new to crocheting 🫣😊

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Oh! Sorry it's been so long since I made this lol I just went down a row (under one of the horizontal bars between the stitch), inserted my hook, did my yarn over and single crochet as I normally would. 💖

[@Crochetedpossum]

So you can hold yarn double on the sentro!!!!!Thanks!

[@heatherjones9090]

Is it easy to do that I've know tensioner on mine knitting machine

[@massmanute]

From my naive point of view the weave seems pretty coarse for socks. Are the comfortable/practical to wear? Thanks.

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

These were okay but the heels were a bit course. I recently did an overhaul for my members that vastly improved the look and feel of them though

[@massmanute]

@@InfinitiCraftingCo Thanks.

[@nancyandela3172]

Thank you for the tutorial, just got a large and small Sentro and have only done hats and scarves so far.

[@funnyg460]

I am still practicing with machine changing colors etc but when I tried to put 2 threads it was hard to turn and skipped on the gear also what am I doing wrong? I have a small adi but a large sentro the small one is the one I’m practicing on.

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Um... are you using 1 or 2 weight yarns when you double strand? That's what I'm using when I work socks and other projects like this. If the yarn is too think, I know for sure it'll do that.

[@funnyg460]

@@InfinitiCraftingCo that is the problem lol thank you for helping

[@emmeandersen9919]

Whenever I try to add the waste yarn it drops that middle stitch, should i be skipping the middle of the three hooks?

[@AshleyMullinsBookz4Nerdz]

So can't use fingering weight on it? I've got so much sock yarn

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Hi! I usually don't recommend a fingering weight because the resulting fabric is super thin. If you do want to use it though, I'd suggest using a double or triple strand.

[@rakhshandakhan1059]

22 needless machine kranking very loudly is this also by you too

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Hi, I've had my machine to wear down over time and I eventually replaced mine. There are tutorials out there now though that show how to take it apart and replace pieces.

Can you use a 48 needle for the socks I have a sentro

[@sabbya.8112]

😁 socks for elephants. I think only the 22 works for socks.

[@debbiewarrenfeltz3703]

I am a size 8 how many rows do I do

[@dianehogben5010]

Hi Why did you not use 1 in stead of 2 yarns at a time for the sock please

[@AuraQueenDraconis]

The yarns were really thin and she needed to double them up for the right gauge

[@LalaEle]

So you can’t do this on the 48 needle machine

[@ayshanmammadli1884]

I struggle with the heel part😢

Are both yarns the kroy sock yarn? Or at least the same weights?

I think it would have been easier and neater to put the stitches onto a circular needle and do a k1 p1 rib at the cuff of the sock.

Can I make socks on 48 needle sentro?

[@InfinitiCraftingCo]

Hi Bonnie, I haven't tried it but I don't see why you couldn't do that! I'm sure there would be adjustments to be made since the tube on the 48 is so much larger.

[@tyggerdev]

The only kind of sock you could make on a machine that big would be a Christmas stocking. The big machine was meant for larger projects like hats, scarves, and sweaters.

[@drkyre]

This makes no sense to me. It would help a lot if the poster would describe the process first.

[@lucywerner]

Are you familiar with knitting socks? Usually, you start with the shaft that goes up your leg, and you knit in rounds. This is what she starts out doing. After that comes the heel, where you only knit a certain amount of stitches going back and forth. Then you knit in rounds again for the part that covers your foot, and eventually you do decreases to get the tip for the toe. The knitting machine has two settings, one for rounds (tube) and back and forth rows (plain). She switches between these modes to create an opening at the heel where she then can manually insert a heel cap.

[@beagreen6007]

shame this machine comes from china. We don't get anything from china anymore. Alternatives?

[@maxmiller5431]

Addi knitting machine! It’s from Germany I believe

[@HJKelley47]

@@maxmiller5431 : Plus, the fact that the Addi cost significantly more! Current price for the Addi with 22 needles runs from $91 (machine only) to $149 (the one with pattern book& extra needles), Sentro with 22 needles currently cost $36.99. I own the Addi King & 22 needle Addi, as well as the Sentro 48 needle. Yes, I like my Sentro, but the Addi is honestly a better made machine, however, the Sentro does the job and I have made several winter cowls and baby blanket with the Sentro. Preparing to make a gingham blanket with the 48 needle Sentro. If you plan on making many projects or becoming an entrepreneur than save for the Addi. If you plan on doing occasional hobby level knitting, then go for the Sentro. One thing for sure, you can use the Sentro to learn the art of circular machine knitting, while saving for the Addi for your birthday!

[@tyggerdev]

They're on Amazon for like $35.
