Kitty Cat Hat | Knitting Machine Tutorial | Addi Knitting Machine Pattern

[@rachelsommerville4383]

Tip - Fold the hat in half to match the ears up to find where your stitch should start and end :)

[@TashmirCreations]

That's a good one.

[@belatrixstarr]

Good idea I used blue painting tape when I need to mark a sewing spot but this is good idea!

[@SkullyBooSalem]

@@belatrixstarr I love this idea! Blue painting tape is such a versatile crafting tool (:

[@cindyfrance186]

Thank you for showing how to close for someone who doesn’t knit or crochet. I appreciate that.

[@KreationsKimberlyRae]

How fun are these!! Wow....Can't wait to make these for my grandkids! Thank you!

[@YarnatPlay]

Glad you like them!

[@joannezednik371]

Thank you so much. I too have noticed the different yarns work up different. I have a great grandson who will love this hat.

[@crochetaway15]

Thankyou! I love these ideas! I just today bought an addi knitting machine so I can looking forward to learning! 😆

[@dawnwaack9468]

Loved the new sewing on the top vs crochet slip stitch. I may get the hang of this method

[@YarnatPlay]

You can do it! I know crochet closure isn't for everyone.

[@tinahaynes175]

I just found your channel. I'm waiting for my 2 Addi machines to arrive. So, I figured I'd binge on some pattern videos while waiting. I have 4 grandchildren, three of them girls ages 6 & 4 yr. old twins. So, I absolutely plan on making them a boat load of these hats for next winter. They live in New England so they will get used! I subscribed for more great knitting videos.

[@YarnatPlay]

Awesome!! Thanks for subscribing Tina!!

[@stormchasing12]

I’ve used that closure for a round top beanie and I was so pleased with how secure it felt. I’m looking forward to trying the cat ears 😻

[@juanpierrevisagie4825]

Thank you it was fun to learn and will try it can't wait to start ,so cute. 😍💕💕

[@lalaprice4254]

Thanks for making this video. I made my first ever hat from this and it's fancy! The Addi just got delivered today and I went to KZbin for guidance on how to finish off the hat after getting it out of the machine - total newbie - when I came across this. We are cat people so this is perfect. :)

[@YarnatPlay]

Amazing!! Congrats on your new Machine! So exciting! ❤️😊

[@lalaprice4254]

@@YarnatPlay Thanks! I had genius (to me) modification. I was running out of yarn after finishing one ear, so instead of sewing my way to the other side through the edge, I used the other tail yarn from the inner layer to sew the second ear. It was on the right side, too! ;)

[@socokat1]

Made with neon striped yarn. Came out great!

[@ambawaters6212]

Thank you, that tutorial was excellent 🤩 🇬🇧 UK

[@annroberts5965]

Cute. Thank you for sharing. Ann from Va.

[@amberturpin9985]

You could probably use a long, flat, chip bag clip over the corners of the hat to use as a guide while you sew the ears. Keep a nice straight line.

[@jerilanewillis9457]

Love it. I'm going to make these to sell. Thank you

[@tonilavin6543]

It was great straight to the point Thanku ❤️. Now I'm going to attempt to make one 😊

[@pattybowden506]

I made one in burgundy "fuzzy" yarn and camel plain yarn. It worked out great and had to make a end for my niece after she saw my daughter's. Thank you so much for the pattern!

[@YarnatPlay]

Yay!! I haven't tried it in a fuzzy yarn. I bet that looks really cute! 😊

[@Pheebs77]

Scrap yarn after the outer colour will make a much cleaner crocheted end to the top of the hat :)

[@helensilva4945]

Hermosuras!!!!❤ Saludos desde Colombia.

[@nancyrogers572]

Absolutely will be making the Kitty Cat hat for special little girl!!! Thank you for the tutorial!!!!

[@YarnatPlay]

Yay! I am so glad to hear it! Happy stitching!

[@user-vm4fv6oy9u]

Waiting for my Addi and grabbing ideas. I so want to make this hat for my adult cat loving daughter and granddaughter, but the closing off at the top has me SOOO intimidated!!! If there is an alternative way to do that part, I would love to know!! I can not knit, crochet, sew…. and I was getting this machine so I could (hopefully) create come cute crafty things without that knowledge! Thanks for the cute tutorial. I have a hard time imagining the different yarns together, I bought the Ivory “I Love this Yarn” today before seeing this, but would have looked right past the Blossonopolis until I saw this hat! So cute together!

[@YarnatPlay]

You can use the closure that I go over in the tutorial that I posted today. You would just have to turn the hat in on itself for it to be doubled up... If that makes sense. 😜 I am sure you will have the hang of this stuff in no time!! ❤️

[@lothrop53]

Absolutely adorable Wouldn’t it be easier to start and end with waste yarn. I would cut a triangle out of cardboard for a guide.

[@jessicacarmona7712]

I love this! How many rows would you need for an adult hat?

[@YarnatPlay]

Hi Jessica! sorry for the VERY delayed response! I usually do 110 rows for my adult hats, but it depends on the kind of yarn that you choose to use.

[@jarwolf7725]

I am new to this, just bought a sentro 48 tooth. I was wondering how to use more than 1 yarn on one project such as 1 4 rows purple, 4 rows black and how to switch them out

[@1of2shoes]

Absolutely darling! I’m definitely making these as gifts. 🐱

[@YarnatPlay]

Yay!! ❤️

[@guadalupeclark6367]

Love this! I hand crochet a Cat Beanie in the past, but this is a whole better. Love!!!

[@YarnatPlay]

Aww, thanks Guadalupe!!

[@gloriavella3025]

Hi Can you tell me if this tension fork that you used can I use it on the new Sento that has the same yarn tension like your knitting machine on top

[@charlotteeardly7235]

Super cute, thanks for your clear explanations ❤

[@StillStandingMC924]

Thank you. I will definitely be making some for my nieces.

[@YarnatPlay]

Yay!! I am so glad to hear that! Happy stitching Miranda!

[@zbrlvr]

I will be making one of these today!! So cool!!

[@ginagomez2654]

My grand girls will love this style thank you for sharing.

[@mamaggear]

Adorable vat hats. My Addi came and I'm battling with it a bit. Misses stitches and double stitches at times but I still love the machine. Definitely going to make these hats.

[@YarnatPlay]

It takes some practice to get used to what works for your machine. Check your tension. Usually dropped or tucked stitches means not enough tension. Have fun with the process. It is worth it! 😊

[@rebeccadees2300]

Thank you for sharing! I have some knitting machines and really happy to find tutorials and patterns.

[@YarnatPlay]

Glad it was helpful!

[@katf3836]

Thank you!! The tip going through the exterior before the interior each time is the most important thing to having a nice finishing look. Thank you!! What a cutie hat!! I have a question though for you in regards to the yarn. I tried to make a hat with the Red Heart Super Saver. Do you have problems using the Red Heart with your Addi. OMG it gives me such grief. Thanks again for this tutorial!!

[@YarnatPlay]

Honestly... I try to avoid RHSS in general. I have used it on my Addi, but it doesn't work great and I just do not like the feel of it. It just isn't my thing. 😕

[@nadinedonovan989]

This is so cute! I can’t wait for my addi to arrive!

[@YarnatPlay]

WooHoo! Have fun!! 😀

[@TashmirCreations]

And??? Do you love it?

[@nadinedonovan989]

@TashmirCreations- I absolutely love my Addi! I have made many pretty things with it and have had many hours of fun with it

[@jessiejeffries8642]

Love this!! I look forward to making more of these 😊

[@YarnatPlay]

Thanks so much Jessie!

[@VernaBradshaw]

Thank you so much!!! You make it seem easy. I need to use my Addi more often.

[@YarnatPlay]

I am a little bit obsessed... getting a bunch of projects knocked out centers me on my down days. ❤

[@spacedonkey32]

love this just learning to use my sentro kniting machine i crochet i cant knit with needles only the sentro

[@YarnatPlay]

I am so glad you like this tutorial!! I haven't gotten a Sentro... Yet! 🤣 Crochet is my first love. But machine knitting it REALLY addicting. It is so much fun. 😊

[@iheartlanguagelearning]

Thanks!! Also, love your tattoo!

[@YarnatPlay]

Thanks! It was my engagement ring. 😊 My husband has one too. I get terrible eczema on my hands so I don't wear my wedding ring much, but I am always happy for my tattoo. 😊

[@paolagzzgzz]

Probably you can use a triangle cone at the end and just sew in the edge so both are the same size :)

[@kendrahartley8987]

Can I make 2 hats with one of each color or will it take all of each color for one hat

[@YarnatPlay]

You will have left over yarn. Maybe enough for 2 hats... But I am not positive. It has been a while since I made this hat and I can't remember exactly how much I had left over. 🤦 Sorry!

[@Tuckur]

Thank you for this wonderful video. What is the name of the yarn that you're using I really like the pattern of it.

[@YarnatPlay]

This is an original design of mine. I don't currently have a written pattern available for this hat. Sorry! 😔

Thanks for sharing

[@YarnatPlay]

Thanks for watching!

[@sally969]

Hi thanks so much for this tutorial! One question on the finish of this hat... which of the 2 tails are you using to bind? The white or the multicolored? Or does it matter?? Thank you

[@YarnatPlay]

I used the multicolor because that was the yarn I finished with on my machine so my needle was already threaded. 🤣 I don't think that it would matter too much, but you would see the contrasting white yarn like a line on the top of the hat if that is what you choose to seam with. I hope that helps! 😊

[@KreationsKimberlyRae]

are you using a 48 pin machine?

[@angelamcdonald8593]

Where did you buy the colourful yarn? Can you spell out the colour name please.

[@1of2shoes]

I just had an idea: what if you secured a jingle bell inside the ear area when you closed up the top?

[@YarnatPlay]

That would be so fun!! You should do it!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@aheiden8002]

How many rows would it be for an adult size because I totally want to make a mommy and me set lol. Like if all 1 color with I love this yarn would it be 140 rows?

[@noahharris9851]

I would do 120

[@dionisiacruz1871]

What size machine is that?

[@graceupongracehisgrace108]

May I know this is for what age group? I have kids 8,12 and 15. Row counts remain same ?

[@elizabethsweeney9555]

Love the idea of the tensioner,but for me to buy here in the UK,shipping is expensive,does anybody know were these can be bought nearer to the UK. For 2 of these is almost £30 to much. Love your tutorial.

[@YarnatPlay]

I am glad you liked the tutorial! I am not sure where their would be tensioners in the UK. 😢 I hope you are able to find one!

[@sewnew1944]

Love this pattern, finished the hat, closing now, now what do I do with the extra white strand? My great granddaughter is going to love this hat. Thank you so much for this tutorial. The I Love This Yarn works so well in the Addi

[@YarnatPlay]

I would just run it so it is in-between the double layers of fabric like you did with your other tails. 😊

I bought a couple on ebay.

Wish you had more crochet items then the addi. I would love to get one but to expensive.

I 100% get that. More crochet content is coming! It just takes much longer to produce. 😭

[@terichapman8293]

Where do you buy your yarn? I’m fed up with Joann’s

[@YarnatPlay]

Meijer is a Midwest store that usually has the best prices for yarn. Otherwise I usually go to JoAnn. If I am buying online I like ice yarn: bit.ly/3xxRsp2 Or We Crochet

[@djroot2566]

😀😃

[@Astronautin]

Very cute, thank you! :)

[@YarnatPlay]

Glad you like it!

[@Prettywildthings]

When you say child size, what ages would you say?

[@YarnatPlay]

Probably between the ages of 2 and 6 ish depending on the child's head. My kids heads are almost as big as my own, so if the child has a smaller head I would say up to 8 years old.

[@KrissD.]

Hi Rachel Now I take it this hat is for a child? Can we do this same hat in adult size? How would we do that? I’m new to this machine. 😊

[@YarnatPlay]

Increase your row counts. I start with the row count for a hat that fits you well and adjust your color row counts from there. 😊

[@KrissD.]

@@YarnatPlay How do u know how many row counts to do? For an average adult size head what would u say do for this hat?

[@rebeccamcnulty9404]

Hi Rachel, Love the kitty cat hat! I am going too attempt to make one for my youngest granddaughter who is kitty cat crazy!! Lol My tension is not very consistent so I immediately went to the shop to purchase the tension fork and to my dismay it said it is sold out!😞 I contacted the company but have not heard back as to my question- are they going to be restocked?!! Do you know anything about this? Also could you tell me how much it cost? Thanks for your time!!

[@YarnatPlay]

Oh no!! In my experience Savlabot is very responsive and I am confident that she will have more available soon. She likely just needs to make more. The tension fork was $8 for one or $13 for two. I bought two at a time each time I placed my order since my kids tend to lose mine for me. 🤦

[@rebeccadees2300]

I see you don't start with the black needle?🤔

[@YarnatPlay]

That is just a personal preference thing. I prefer to have the counter tick over at the end of the row rather than the beginning. There is no reason for it other than that. 😊

[@charleylee4651]

Why dont you use scrap yarn so its easier to see the stitching at the end?? Fyi use a contrasting yarn at the beginning min. Of 5 rows clear the row counter and do the same at the end and sewing up the seams will be sooo much easier.

[@rebeccadees2300]

This is a pattern for a child correct?

[@YarnatPlay]

Yes, but if you loosen your tension and increase your row count it is easily adapted to be an adult size. 😊 I am going to be filming an adult variation of this hat soon!
