Super Easy Folded Brim Beanie using the Addi machine

In this video learn how to knit a folded brim hat using the Addi knitting machine. This is the technique that I have found the easiest to do. It allows me to clearly see the stitches I need to pick up in order to make a near and even folded brim.
The hat can be made to accomodate various sizes/lengths. Please note that this is knit using the King Addi knitting machine. There are also smaller Addi knitting machine on the market. This hat is knit using Caron One Pound yarn. You will need to experiment with different brands of yarn to see which works best for your machine. The knit instructions would be the same if you are using other circular knitting machines such as the Loops & Thread, Sentro, etc.
The key is to knit in a smooth even motion while turning your handle to avoid jarring which can result in dropped knit stitches. In this video I will teach you how going step-by-step. Once you determine which size you want you will be able to knit these beautiful and easy folded brim beanie in no time at all.
These folded brim knit beanies make great gifts and are a good project to make for charity.
I have used my Addi King machine to knit 100's of knit hats for charity, and as gifts. If you plan on knitting a lot of hats this little Addi King machine can be a good investment.

I was going to say that I.m glad you,re talking a lot, you,re giving so much info!!

[@terricastillo2480]

So happy I found this video...I love how yolanda takes her time to share step by step. Without talking your ears off...her video are always great. I am working on beanies for the homeless...

[@wendymeuret1158]

Good for you! Also me-I was crocheting beanies for a few different shelters and I love it-but it takes more time and more yarn than knitting. And knitted hats have move stretch so I think they fit more people. I like making an adult and child hat in coordination colors. Happy yarning!

[@laceyrey6717]

Thank you for this tutorial. I've been trying to figure out how to not have to do a double layered hat and you beautifully explained this.

[@hildaguillen7916]

Same here!! Great tutorial

[@patriciamoore8758]

Great tutorial. By the way you don't need to cut the waste yarn. Just remove the first line by pulling it out and it will unravel.

Thank you very much for this video. I did not know how to make a hat with a brim. You went slow and explained everything you make it look so easy. GOD bless you✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Excellent tutorial. I learned so much more. I've just purchased 2 sizes but had trouble immediately with brim. The tips here are invaluable. Thank you for sharing.

[@Kyddoemiko13]

Thank you so much for making this video I'm sitting here telling myself there has to be a better way to make a brim on a hat and I know when actually using the hand Loom we fold the rim over and then bind it off. I'm like it could be done on the machine as well.🤔😁🙌 😇 Stay blessed.

[@lynnpaulus5725]

ok i gotta admit. you are saving me with the idea at the last row. when you are casting off. i usually go all the way around then start using a needle to pick up stitches. heaven forbid i actually pull too rough on the yarn and extra stitches jump off. im in for a doozy but just advancing the machine a little bit to pick up a few stitches at a time. and keeping the rest securely on... seriously!? why didnt i think of that.! thanks so much! you have fantastic ideas. your rock!!

[@shantel7107]

I just bought a Sentro for my beginner machine. Thank you for making this video, now to get cranking out hats

[@widerwoman]

Do you like the Sentro?

[@shantel7107]

@@widerwoman - Yes w/ cons, but its worth it to understand what you're doing before spending $100.00 plus. I have the 40 needle w/out the counter. Red Heart is too thick. :-( Caron Simply Soft is great and weight below 4. Can't take your eyes off of it or you'll drop stitches.

Finally! I knew you could have an easy pattern for this! Thank you! I bought a jamit knitting machine. To make hats for charity as well.Most patterns are for a double layer beanie. I was going to send my machine back until I saw your tutorial. I did 18 rows for the brim. 21 rows for the body of that hat.. seemed too slouchy, I might try 15 rows. I wish this was like crochet.. frog rows until you can get the length.

I had a problem using the crochet hook...big hands. Started using the plastic marker pins that click closed. I pick up each stitch, leaving pin open and then pick up each pin and place stitch on hook, slip pin off. Quick and easy and I can see each stitch easily. Love your pattern. Explained very well too.

[@brendascuccimarri8138]

Great tutorial, everyone seems to be sold out of this machine

[@yolandasotolopez]

It also works on the Sentro but the Addi is higher quality.

[@knittingnana2939]

I have a sentro, both addis and a generic . I cannot figure out how to take the stitches off when i am done. But i have knitted long enough that i know how stitches work so i just put the yarn to the inside, turn it until it comes off the machine and then thread my needle and pick up the stitches with it in my lap. Its easier for me that way, if any of them pull out, i pick them up with a crochet hook and thread the yarn through. It works fine for me that way.

[@vsand256able]

Thank you for the video, can you do more videos using the machine.

[@yolandasotolopez]

sure, I will try

[@jenniebugs1]

The first ever time I tried a brimmed hat (following your instructions). I found it difficult to see which stitch to pick up first and which aligned exactly with the needle above. As a result the fabric started twisting and stretching. Would it be easier to put a small peg on the stitch so that I can be extra certain I am picking the corresponding and correct first stitch from the start? I’ve only had the Addi for one week! I so want to eventually make a poncho or a jumper but can’t seem to find a good step by step tutorial/pattern for these. Any suggestions where I can get a pattern for an adult poncho/jumper which caters for different sizes?

[@APRILxxBABYxxGIRL]

This is so well explained. Thanks

[@mindybarfield3521]

Thank you Yolanda for this excellent video. I hope your health is good. Can you please tell me if the Addi is made of plastic or metal and are its legs secured to the table with suction cups. Using waste yarn for the brim is a great idea. Mindy

Thank you for sharing. I also do folded brims on my Addi but I seem to have a problem picking up the stitches towards the end, The stitches get too tight towards the end and I am forced to sew up the last fewt stitches.

[@yolandasotolopez]

start with the different color yarn, then when you pick up you can see which stitches to pick up because they will be from your main color.

[@luanyee]

@@yolandasotolopez Thank you for your reply. Yes, I used a contrasting waste yarn at the beginning and I do exactly what is shown in the video. My problem is that the stitches get ţoo tight towards the end to slip over and I am forced to hand sew the last few stitches. Wonder what I'm doing wrong as it seems easy for you to slip all the stitches.

I have tried this twice now and both times I had stitches drop. I did it super slow so I'm wondering if I was putting the loop over after the working yarn went under...would that cuase the drop?

[@yolandasotolopez]

you need to thread the yarn thru the loop while it's still on that little holder.. start watching at 15:00 minutes of the video.

[@michelleraynor3800]

So cute! I wish you would say how many rows you did.?

[@rosyortega3512]

hola y para que sirve eso que haces diferente, es como resorte del gorro?

No, pero es una manera de poner un border sin tener que hacerlo de 2 hileras.. o sea no tan grueso., pero todavía con su border.

[@siobhanburns1511]

How long does it take to make a complete hat please?

[@yolandasotolopez]

about 40 minutes or less

[@onthecrafttable]

For some reason whenever I finish the brim part, it connects, but then when I go around the stitches tend to drop. Not like normal drop because I know how to fix drop stitches that I can see but the double loops dont catch some way some how. I literally have done with 3 times and every time it happens. I am using the loops and threads machine. Instead of wasting the brim I just take it off and cast it onto my knitting needles and finish the hat hand knit but I bought this so I wouldn’t have to lol. I wish I knew what was going wrong. Maybe the thickness of the double stitches can catch or something.

[@yolandasotolopez]

try going around slowly after your attach the brim, making sure every needle is catching

[@tawany3593]

I was thinking on this machine . You recommend this one ?

[@barbiemorrisey9937]

I just made this hate doing 30 rows for the brim then did the fold over and it came out perfect. Did 50 for the body. But when I put it on the hat was enormous meaning so wide. Do you think it’s because I used Caron pound and red heart stripes? I can’t figure out why it was so wide around.

[@VernaBradshaw]

Many hats seem to be made as slouchies, but I'm playing around with fewer rows to make a normal hat. I did 25 rounds like she did and my brim was about 1", and then did 50 rows (like she did). 5 rows is roughly 1 inch for me. If it's too wide, put a little more tension on your yarn. I only guide mine and it's fine. I practiced with Caron One Pounder.

[@annphillips3423]

Where did you buy the clamp to hold down yarn?? Thank you, I love your videos you go slow and explain slow for us beginners.

[@lakenb3464]

It looks like a chip clip.

Anything with a little weight will work.

[@annacarlson18]

I am having trouble with this. I am able to bring the edge up & attach it with no problem, all the while making sure my live feed is still knitting, just as you show. However, once I begin to continue to knit the remaining rows, every blessed one is falling off. This has happened twice. How can I remedy this? Tx.

How many rows do you think if I want it slouchy for adult?
