Knitting a spencer on the Passap Duomatic 80 knitting machine

Welcome to the World of Zabbez. In this video I show you how I knit a spencer with some stripes. A knitted spencer is also called a slipover, but basically they are knitted sweaters without sleeves. I am knitting this project on my Passap knitting machine. The Passap Duomatic 80 is a true double bed knitting machine that knits both beautiful ribs as jersey fabrics. The video shows my proces step by step and is helpful for both beginner as advanced machine knitters.
Enjoy!

Bought a machine today and am so excited to find this channel 😂

[@krelyn]

Be very patient with it, time to learn how to use it, it can take months, i thought more than 5 times about selling mine in the beginning, it was hard to understand the mecanism, but now im glad by my machine, and no buying regret !

[@ZabbezOriginal]

I am happy to hear that. I wish you a lot of fun with your knitting machine!

[@ZabbezOriginal]

Yes correct, it takes a lot of perseverance! But in the end it will bring a lot of joy! 😀

[@NewLegacyStudios]

Me too!! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@stitchingsin]

As a hand knitter this is *fascinating* to watch.

[@ZabbezOriginal]

Makes me happy to hear that, thank you!

Another GREAT detailed tutorial! I had not realized you had so many different brand knitting machines. Like you, I have a Hague linker. The 4.5 pin spacing works well with my other machines, even the bulky 9mm of the same 4.5mm gauge brand machines. Many people don't know the Passap linker is made to match the pin spacing to the 5mm gauge machines. Passap only made the 5mm pin spacing linker to my knowledge. Hague has several different models by pin size. I can always squeeze my Passap knits to the pin size of the Hague linker but, the other way around I would need to stretch a bit from one stitch to the next with my other gauge machines. Wish I had enough space for matching tools for everything. Someday maybe you will do a video with all the great applications that can be done with a linker. Your knitting always looks very professional. Tightening down the stitch size to aprox. 2 stitch numbers smaller for the rib than the stitch size used for the main garment helps the ribbing hold it's shape and recovery. Hand knitters do the same thing by using smaller needle sizes for the ribbing than the main knitting. Beginning machine knitters learn good practices right from the start watching your instructions. Thank you for such detailed Passap videos.

Thank you! Yes, I have several machines and I love all of them for different reasons. They all have their own characters. If only I had more time so I could make more video’s, because I think some of my other machines are jealous of this Passap lately 🤣 And I totally agree with you, I wish I also had more space so I could match all my tools for everything. The linker I have temporarily borrowed from a friend. I almost got my hand on a Passap linker a year ago, but I didn’t manage. So luckily there is still a lot more to dream about 😁

First time watching. What an amazing way to work up a piece! Makes me want to pull out my knitting loom and make a hat

[@ZabbezOriginal]

Haha it makes me happy to read your message. Give your knitting loom some love! 😀

[@awktet4481]

These demonstrations are very useful. I have learned several alternate techniques to accomplish some knitting on my Passap giving me choices for knitting and finishing items. Thanks.

[@ZabbezOriginal]

It makes me happy to hear that. Thank you!

[@flaxholmelis5996]

Thank you, Baz. I can't wait to have more time to work on my twin-bed Singer, which isn't quite as sophsticated as your Passap, but I think I can work round that. I have managed a couple of basic jumpers, but now want to have a go at some colourwork and fisherman rib. I will be having a go at your scarf and hat set.

[@ZabbezOriginal]

Great! The Singer double bed machines are awesome too. I also have them. They are the best of both worlds, perfectly in-between the Passap and the Japanese machines. Have fun! 😀👍🏻

[@anonymousbub3410]

You are amazing! I have recently acquired a Passap Pinkie and I have been looking for good patterns for it! Your tutorials are perfect for that!

[@ZabbezOriginal]

Thank you very much. The Passap Pinkie is a great machine that knits beautifully. Have fun!

[@thumphreydable]

Well done.

[@ZabbezOriginal]

Thank you 😀

[@druidsongevergreens]

This is great thank you. I have a brother machine but still find your videos very helpful. Do you have any tutorials for a men’s sweater? I’m especially looking for the men’s shawl collar version where it folds across the front opening at the clavicle.

[@ZabbezOriginal]

Ah yes, not a video on a men's shawl collar sweater yet. Too much to knit, too little time haha 😜

[@druidsongevergreens]

@ Yeah I definitely relate to that. Anyway thanks for the good tutorials

[@inc1961]

Thank you, very informative. I’m curious if you know how much yarn this would require? For example how much does the finished garment weigh? Just so I know before I start if I need stripes or I can do all one colour.

Please i'd like to knit a sweat for a 3y old kid, how do i have to manage the work? i see you all the time calculating before knitting, do you consider measurements to determine the stitches amount? and how to adapt measurements taken by hand, to the needles amount to consider on the machine ? im interested in a sweat with separated sleeves so every part should be knitted separately, thank you

[@ZabbezOriginal]

I understand, this can be very difficult in the beginning. I will make a video about that in the future. But currently I am already working on some other video’s. I advice you to Google search for test swatches. The number of stitches and rows on your test swatch are recalculated to the number of stitches and rows for your garment. Good luck!

[@krelyn]

@@ZabbezOriginal Ok i will check about that, thank you so much!

[@CecileMajoleth]

Were can i shop the parfin aparat? Thank for our answer❤

[@ZabbezOriginal]

All knitting machine parts are usually found second hand. Try a second hand store near you or search the internet on second hand websites. Good luck!

[@umraedshaheen5883]
