What I've learned with knitting machines is that you should have your first and last five rows with waste yarn to avoid the wonky edges. When you're done with your main panel, simply unravel the waste yarn.

[@amandaboudreau6757]

With that, you can hand knit afterwards whatever hem you want! Love this!

[@ronagermeaux4479]

this is so great, I'm learning just from reading everyone's comments. I love the KZbin family!😀

[@blondie7740]

You can fix dropped stiches and it's pretty easy. There are a few videos on using a crochet hook to bring the stiches up to the top, it's called laddering up. The yarn is beautiful. And waste yarn will help you achieve the neat stiches you are looking for.

[@anna-greene]

Thank you for letting me know!!

[@janellekm]

Hi, this is great to know, do I search for "laddering up" to find these videos? 😊

Excellent! I am so happy that your interested in crochet and knitting. And you do it so well. I learned from my grandmother and now I am 62. Vids like yours are awesome.

[@anna-greene]

Aw thank you! 🤍

[@ronagermeaux4479]

You did so great! You absolutely did make that sweater, so don't hesitate to take credit for your work! Even though it was on a knitting machine, it still takes skill and know-how! I watched your video to the end, and you are so cute and have a positive attitude. I love it! I subscribed to your channel. I'm curious if you have stayed with it as this was filmed a year ago. So I'll be looking for more videos from you. Great job again! 🥰

[@77Crazycat77]

There are different techniques to enable a perfect finish. You’ll get there. Don’t give up ❤

[@macchiatojen]

Great job! You might be able to stop the rolling at the bottom by steam blocking your new sweater. You can use a fabric steamer or if you have an iron with a steam setting this will work too. The steam helps to loosen up the fiber. 😊

[@lpm67]

Agreed and maybe a couple more rows of double Crochet would help the hem to sit

[@annep.1905]

You can also make a hem by doubling the knit fabric back on itself.

[@AlexSmveLyfe]

I love when I create and crochet because it’s hand made every top and design will not be “neat” it’s unique in its own way. So don’t be hard on yourself 🌟

[@janiyahl.9456]

Sirdar Jewelspun yarn is so pretty. I plan on making a sweater for my friend. The color scheme is gonna beige and white. Making a mini dress or skirt would be so cute.

[@anna-greene]

it seriously is so gorgeous! let me know how your sweater goes :)

[@violetvixen6301]

That sweater is so pretty! Looks great on you! Thanks for sharing the whole process! You should absolutely be very proud!

[@anna-greene]

Thank you so much!

[@ashleyadams6803]

Your sweater turned out really cute! You did a great job especially when you consider it was the first sweater you made. Pretty impressive! First time watching, enjoyed your video! I’ve subscribed.

[@sandracody7443]

Cuffs and neck can be finished with double crochet around the do front loop back loops around same with neck

[@geminirising1651]

I really recommend the waste yarn method!!! It makes it look so much cleaner

[@seaworthysleeper]

Omg I had a little Barbie machine that was a small version of that machine for making barbie clothes. Never figured it out but I made a ton of scarves LOL

[@victoriatesfaye1276]

hey, can you please drop a video how to make a sweater you are wearing in this video? it’s super cuuute! i’m the beginner at crocheting and i would looove to watch a tutorial like this (: love you!💞

[@marlan5470]

Well done!

[@iSugarHeart]

What id definitely wouldnt skip is wet blocking =) would stop your sweater edges from rolling up. Improving overall look of your work. Stunning colors by the way

[@vkspaindesigns]

Makes me so excited to use my hand dyed yarns to do this 😃

[@cjspice4847]

Your camera is fine. A rib stitch would be nice at the bottom. I guess for a medium or large you would add extra panels. I have a Addi and the panel is still intimidating, I haven’t used it yet. Great job on your sweater it looks good on you.

[@Minsung_designs]

Nice work! 🥳 now it’s my turn to make my first sweater on my Addi king knitting machine! 🧶

[@jackieperkins691]

Great work. That's a pretty sweater. I would have put single crochet's around the edges, too.

[@mackenziemcclara5495]

BRUH I just got one and it’s so amazing it only took a second to learn it and it’s a really good way to use up scrap yarns

[@anna-greene]

yess it’s so fun once you get the hang of it

[@suzanneburns6130]

I think your sweater looks amazing!! ❤ Your camera looks great! ❤

[@evermateo6166]

The sweater came out pretty- can’t wait to see what else you make with your new machine. Thanks for sharing!

[@flowergirl3438]

Your sweater came out so nice and it looks good on you. I hope you don't have any problems with that dropped stich on the back panel. I watched a video and the lady said that with a dropped stitch, the work could start unraveling top to bottom. I hope I'm wrong about that. I hope to see more of your work, it's inspiring me to get a knitting machine.

[@crochet937]

That is beautiful! Good job!

Oh I hate you.... hey only kidding, I so want to learn how to crochet but have never found a good enough tutorial that needs to be so simple that even I could follow it. 😊 I love your jumper and well done for making it. I am so excited to do a jumper (Australian word for sweater) I have the king size Addi which is 46 needles, but I can't imagine 2 needles making that much of a difference. 😊 thank you so much for making and sharing this video. You did HAND MAKE it, and it looks great, you have inspired me to make my own jumper.

[@deborahdonnelly8423]

Crochet around the neckline and bottom to even it up. The bottom is rolling b/c it’s the straight stitch. You can’t stop it from rolling unless you crochet a bit on the bottom. You can even do a a several inches of a decorative crochet stitch.

[@anna-greene]

Thanks! I’ve also seen the waste yarn technique used to prevent rolling on the ends but I haven’t tried that yet

[@meolson9197]

You go! Good job on the sweater.

[@anna-greene]

Thanks!!!

[@estellecazenave7855]

looks amazing

[@oliviasoto1230]

Much better I love your sweater very unique

[@Tardis1217]

If you want to continue with this, look up some tutorials on casting off knitting. You can even use a crochet hook to do it. Just pulling one long thread through the live stitches isn't casting off, and won't really ever look good 🤣 Otherwise, very nice piece!

[@anna-greene]

Thanks for the tip!

[@PuraVida5446]

What kind of yarn did you use for the sweater you’re wearing in the video? I love it 😍

[@exploringwithashandjake2373]

Just curious where you get your variegated yarn and how much it is also new subscriber to the channel here to learn how to use my knitting machine. I just wanna say as a person who also nits by hand these knitting machines drastically decreased the time in which it takes you to make a sweater, it can take me up to a week to make a sweater and make a hat so this is definitely a game changer as I have arthritis

[@danahunt4343]

Yes, you did that. Camera is good

[@VondaInWonderland]

It looks so good. I tried making one today and stopped to measure at 80 rows then got some dropped stitches on the edge and close to the edge O_o I tried to fix them but wound up pulling it all out. I'll try again tomorrow ♥

[@PaigeFrances97]

You should make a dress with the same technique!

[@janellekm]

Ohhh I didn't even think about that! Or even a skirt... it is January here so I got 5 months before I wil need to wear it. 😊

[@geminirising1651]

U have to have at least 4 pegs not casted on, because when you come around it’s lifting the peg with the yarn on the other end of your panel

35 stitches

[@shelbsterrox]

Did you have any issues with the neck hole being uncomfortably tight after crocheting around it? I feel like my neck hole lost all its stretch after crocheting but maybe I'm doing it wrong.. Loved this vid and the colors are so pretty!

[@anna-greene]

i was worried about that but I used a larger hook and made sure to do a few extra stitches here and there so it wasn’t too tight. but i’ve made a few more since this video and just focus on making the beginning and end of the panels look neat and tidy so I don’t have to clean it up at the end with the crocheting!

[@queensheba1st]

Please you have to tell me like what’s the name of the app ????????

[@clarettacicero]

Hello! The sweater turned out sooo lovely! I don't have a knitting machine and wanted to hand knit something like this, how many stitches did you cast one for the front/back panels? I'm having troubles figuring that out 😭

[@anna-greene]

47 I guess! Because it’s a 48 pin machine and I think it skips the last one to be able to turn around and make a panel instead of a tube.

[@ambergreen7033]

omg this is the entire reason i found this video cuz i wanna replicate the look😂 did you end up doing it??

[@lexa249]

I have trouble with casting off a panel or tube and not making them so tight, like when I cast off, there’s the string that you casted off with a needle, but what do I do for it to still be elastic when i knot it?

[@anna-greene]

I had that issue too, you just have to pull it looser. Sometime the string kind of gets “stuck” and it’s hard to pull it but if you just kind of work the yarn section by section, you can pull it so that it’s loose and stretchy. hope that makes sense

[@lexa249]

@@anna-greene yeah! Thankyou. I do that and then stretch as much as I can so that when I knot it, it stretches to its maximum capacity, but my model I use still tells me it’s tight on her. Maybe the sentro only makes pannels for petite girls haha. She did have a larger chest, so I’ll make the jumpers for smaller girls instead and hand knit jumpers for her size

[@anna-greene]

yes, there are definitely some limitations to the sizing when it comes to making stuff on sentros

[@lavenderlux3200]

not trying to be intrusive, but could i ask what size you typically wear? i really want to make one of these sweaters but i’m not sure how it would fit!
