I can't believe I wasted so much time checking and trying to find the perfect video for a twisted headband...everyone always demonstrates on their Addi or Sentro 40 or 60...everyone does not own an addie...I was so happy to find your tutorial and I just received my new Sentro 48...and I must say yours is the best of them all...very well explained for a newbie like me and you make it so easy to follow along not like some that just rush through it never explaining the type of yarn, or what size, and never have the patience to make us viewers understand. Thank you so much, I will definitely be trying this...I will update you on how it went..lol all the best and Happy New Year!!

[@renateburns8840]

Thankyou!! Now I know another way to close an end of the toques( hats) I make, rather than gathering.Thanks so much. I.ll be making the head bands as well, of course. Your video is excellent!!

[@nicolaking2704]

Do you have any tips re. tension? Hopefully new machine coming will be better in this regard, but tension seems loose on Prym machine. Thanks for fab tutorials!

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

It depends on what project I’m working with, but for a headband I hold it taught but not too tight. You’ll find your natural tension and then you can just adjust row counts to get the length of tube you need. Is that helpful?

[@philking8988]

@@SnufflebeanYarn It is, thanks - I think there's a degree of playing around with whichever machine you have...hoping to crank out a headband soon!

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

I think the biggest thing I learnt was how different everyone’s tension is (just as it is with hand knit and crochet), and that difference is what makes the product of these machines wonderful, because it’s not just a case of cranking out a hand or headband, it does take skill and love and care. Make some samples and measure how they end up, I took a lot of tinkering (and some reassurance from friends trying my beanies and headbands on) to work out my favourite tube length. 42-45cm for headbands and about 52-55cm for fitted/slightly slouchy beanies. I can’t wait to see what you make. Happy to offer more guidance if you need it :-)

11:57 ET. How many rows do you suggest making for a child size? I have the Sentro 40. I wish there was an in between size of about 30 for a child width.

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

A sentro 40 is perfect for a child size - probably about 86 rows?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

[@michaeloverton1702]

Hello I have used waste yarn for the first time today and used the crochet hook for sealing the ends together. After removing the waste yarn l noticed l had missed a stitch, any tips on how l can rectify this please. Great tutorial. Thank You x

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

I think the easiest way is probably to either grab it as you sew the headband together, or to sew it in with some scrap yarn before you sew the ends together to form the headband

It will be deeper than with the 40 pin but otherwise the same

Super

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Thank you!

[@deenaordever6855]

How do you get the machine to knit ARAN weight yarn without dropping stiches xx. Love your channel .

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Hi, Dropped stitches are really down to tension and how you work the machine, I know it's a boring answer but there is no magic solution other than practice and getting to know your machine. Once you find the right speed and tension then you will find you drop stitches a lot less.

[@maryjanedavidson2804]

Quick question, which is probably no quick answer lol. Okay I have made a few hats and they all turn out wonderfully, made one of these as well but...they are all so small and would be far to tight to fit on my head and have no stretch. So, am I using the wrong type of yarn, I have tried 4-5 different kinds now but know next to nothing about what type they are off hand. Is there a recommended type of yarn to use for adults, or am I having the tension to tight when I hold/wind the yarn in circles? I have the Addi 46 needle one.

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

To make it bigger you’ll need to work more rounds :)

[@goof9j1]

Great video. How many rows for a 48 pin.

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

I would still go for the same length tube, rows vary with individual tension so your row count might be different to mine which is why I give lengths rather than row counts :)

[@iconbrandstore]

May I know the best yarn weight to use? Is it the same SIZE as the one that comes with the machine?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

I find the best weight to use is Aran / Worsted weight. 🙂

[@Starbaberry]

Hi, I have this machine and whilst I can tubular knit fine, I am having issues getting the panel knitting to work. Do you have any suggestions?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

I have a video that shows how to make a flat panel ☺️

[@Starbaberry]

@SnufflebeanYarn Hi! Yes, I saw that and it says that it works for Sentro and Addi. However, I have this exact machine, the 40 pin one, and it doesn't come out the same. I cast on, I go back for the second row but on the third row it doesn't become tight to keep the edge straight. Instead, it keeps unravelling. I hope that that makes sense but if it doesn't, I am referring to 5:56 of your panel video

[@lindas8361]

Will the sentro 40 also make a decent-sized hat?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

No not really, it would only really work for a toddler or baby hat

[@Tutor_Mai]

What is the brand of your knitting machine? I like the color😊

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

It’s one from Amazon, I can’t remember the brand 🙂

[@hillygirl18]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! Could you please tell me how many rows to do for a child? I know adult is 90. Thanks again xx

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

I haven’t actually made one for a child yet, but I would probably shorted the tube by 5cm - 9 so maybe 80 rows depending on your tension!

[@almagloria607]

I have the Sentro 48 and I'm trying to make a headband but every time I do it comes out way way way to wide and long. I'm doing 75-80 rows, so I don't understand why it keeps coming out that way. Please help!

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

It will be wider because it has more pins than the 40 pin machine I use for headbands as that’s what dictates the width. The length is down to in oficial tension which is why I give a tube length instead of a row count. :-)

[@tan.hughes]

Can this be done on 22 pin x

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Yeah it could but it would be a skinnier headband :)

[@troubletinks8494]

Can you do this on a circular loom

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Yes I don’t see why not!

[@suzanx]

No one shows what the seam looks like though. Does it get bulky against the forehead?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

If you sew it neatly, then it generally sits quite nicely on the forehead with little bulk, the twist creates a bit of bulk but nothing that looks silly.

[@jham006]

What brand of yarn are you using in this video?? I'm from eu!

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

I would have been using Paintbox Aran

[@heatherslade2566]

Can you do this on 48 pin machine

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

It’s exactly the same method for any size machine :) you’d just end up with a wider headband

[@charlenemoore860]

Would a 22 pin be too small to make this?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

It would make a very slender headband

Thank you so much for a great tutorial! I’m looking to get one of these machines but just wondered if you think the Sheepjes chunky monkey yarn would work on it, or would it be too thick? 🧶xx

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

It would be too thick for this 40 pin machine, I think my Addi 46 pin might cope but would still struggle :)

[@dubbshep8033]

@@SnufflebeanYarn Thank you so much for replying so quick! I thought that might be the answer but was hoping other wise! 😂

[@thedailycavalier]

Can I ask what the dimensions of the headband are? Trying to see if this machine is suitable for what I need. Like how wide is it from left to right when it isn't being stretched?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Leave it with me and I’ll measure it for you! It’s buried in my sample pile somewhere :-)

[@thedailycavalier]

@@SnufflebeanYarn thank you so much! I make dog snoods and trying to see if getting one of these machines will speed up how many I can make! Most of the machines seem to make the tube too big for what I need. If you do find the sample, I would love to know what the finished tube measures width and height. Trying to avoid having to use a panel mode and stitch it together so if I can find one that makes the right tube size I'm sorted.

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

It’s 21cm wide (but you could alter this by making a shorter tube) and 14cm high (the width of the tube) hope this helps!

[@thedailycavalier]

@@SnufflebeanYarn oh amazing! I forgot I could control the final width by using a shorter tube. I think I will get one of these and experiment with rows until I find an amount that works.

[@cenikastarr9713]

how would you do this without waste yarn? tia!!

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

You could cast off and pick up the loops with a crochet hook but I find it a lot more fiddly.

[@faithpancoast2596]

Do you need to use waste yarn?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

If you feel confident crocheting it together without using waste yarn, then you can definitely do it without waste yarn.

[@alicia9606]

how many laps does it take in total ???

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

It depends on your tension, I do 86 rows but you may need more or less. Aim for a tube about 43-45cm long

[@soulfulambitions]

Can you please tell me many rows for a child by chance?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

I don’t generally work by rows because people’s individual tension varies, I would shorten the tube you make by maybe 5cm and see how that goes. Sorry I couldn’t help more 🙂

[@soulfulambitions]

@@SnufflebeanYarn I’m not good with measuring to be honest. When you mentioned rows I went by that and it seem to work well for the teen so I thought maybe to inquire about a 9 year old . It it well though I appreciate your willingness to help and your attentiveness to your comment section. Most people don’t even communicate back to us. It’s appreciated. Have a great week!

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

If you’re not great with measuring I would perhaps try 10 rows less and see how that works?

I'm left handed.... NEVER seen a lefter sew right handed from the left.... Instead of switching hands or starting from the left

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

What do I do if I have a knot in the yarn (in the middle of work)? Do I have to cut it off and then???

I would cut and rejoin personally, and then tie the ends securely once it’s off the machine, in the same way you would when changing colours.
