This scarf looks very nice. Just can't comprehend all the issues Sentro machines have, why new machine knitters keep. buying this machine. Save up, or get one of those pre-approved credit cards, and buy the Addi machine. You"ll be Glad you did. I know l am.
Thanks, it is nice to see a scarf joined with a straight edge. All other videos I have seen the ends were gathered. I have just finished knitting my drop stitch scarf. I plan to join the edges with Kitchener stitches (I will have to revise that technique!!) after putting one twist in it so it will be a true infinity scarf. True infinity (Moebius) circle is really fascinating as there is only one edge! As a maths teacher my pupils were fascinated with the puzzle. I got them to join a long narrow rectangle of paper end to end but with a twist in it and then cut half way along the whole circle. They expected to have two circles buti It is still a circle! Cut it again and it is still a circle! It truly has only one edge!
I can't tell you how annoyed I am that people are calling their scarves Infinity Scarves when they don't have the twist. Glad there's at least one other person who knows what it means!
Thank you for your very helpful videos. I have only had my Sentro 48 for a couple weeks and my Sentro 22 for a week. I've been binge watching your videos and taking notes to learn as much as possible.
I was expecting complicated and too hard but instead I am feeling enthused and wanting to give it ago after I finish my two current projects. Plus the scarf looks beautiful and sort of Lacy and long enough to be worn in a ton of different ways with only 150 rows!!!!!!!!! Genius. Thank you
Thank you so much! I just started a new FB group and would like to invite you to join. (If you haven’t done so already) I would love to have you as a part of that community. Here is the link …..😍 facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594
I loved my scarf...thank you, the only thing I was disappointed about was that I did not line up my seams to join, but it turned out great for my very first attempt, so with more practice, I will be the best!!! lol
Thank you thank you thank you!! I’ve been wanting so badly to make a drop stitch scarf from my beautiful angora yarns, but I sell my work and thought the gathered ends just don’t look nice! To each their own- but for me- you’ve finally solved my dilemma and I’m excited to make this project!
Awe! Your so sweet! If you watched the video the first time you must have thought I was nuts! Huge section missed. Hahaha! It happens! Just glad I caught it. Thanks for being a part of my channel community! 🥰
Thank you for the video!! Here’s a question for you….mid project I ran out of yarn on my skein (at around row 120). I added a new skein and finished and added the waste yarn. I’m wondering if you’ve ever had this happen on a drop stitch scarf? I’m not sure how it’s going to look…or where my knot from the join will end up - yikes! I’m going to go ahead and finish…
Jan Stevens ….. it happened to me on the dropped stitch scarf I posted. It will not affect your project. I hope you read this cause it won’t notify you as you posted under Karen’s comment. Lol
Here's a tip: Keep an eye out for tuck stitches and fix them on the machine. If you don't they will prevent some of your stitches from dropping and you will have to rip the whole thing out and start over. (Guess how I discovered this...)
loved this tutorial! Making my first dropped stitch scarf and I started out watching another video but wasn't happy with the joined edges. So I found yours and that's the finished edge I was looking for! Thank you so much for your great videos. Very easy to follow. I'll find your FB page and post a pic.
I know. I am sorry! I really should take that down and redo it. Maybe I will. I forgot about it to be honest. I did it a while ago. Thanks for letting me know.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet no problem, I got the idea. Just got my first addi knitting machine, the small one, the large one is on its way. My husband bought them for my birthday that's coming up next month.
I’m so glad you did a flat edge way of doing this. Thank you but maybe you need an editor or helper to watch for filming issues like keeping things on screen. It’s had doing all that while working on the project at the same time.
Wow, that looks gorgeous 😍, thanks so much. I hope your hand is ok, it looks a little sore, I was a little distracted with wondering what it was like underneath the plaster lol xx
You do not want to see it. I scalded myself on splattered very hot melted sugar. It goes right to my wrist. Starting to look better today though. You call it plaster. We call it band aid. Makes me wonder where you are from ? 🥰
Thank you for sharing, but I missed the drop stitch part because it was off-screen…. that’s the part I was needing to learn the most 😅 and I’m a bit confused at the part where you said you messed up and put your project back in the machine. Maybe do another video from start to finish showing all the steps?🧐 I am a beginner using an Addi machine… I really like the flat edge seam on this scarf. I’ve made one with the gathered edges that I added a pom-pom to each end and made it an open wrap scarf, just because I didn’t like the gathered ends joining. Again, thank you for sharing.
Omg...I can't believe I was so stupid!!! kept wondering how come I get two loops after pulling up my stitches from the waste yarn...then realized that I was trying to unravel my waste yarn from where I finished picking up stitches instead of the top....well I have learned from my mistake!🤣😂
It helps you to hold and see the stitches on your work so you can close it with a straight edge. Watch any of my blanket videos or other videos where there is a straight edge closure and you will see why it is helpful.
First let me say I love this video. I was up at three am knitting the tube, so anxious to get to the part where you drop the stitches. Sadly you were off camera, with the beginning part of which to drop and which to knit. Now I am kind of scared. They don’t call me chicky Bobbi for nothing. HaHa. Thanks for the great tutorial. I am going to watch the end again to see if I can figure which is dropped and which is not.
I was off camera? Oh no! Never realized it. Maybe I should make another video. So sorry. I’m gonna go check! Please show us your work in my FB group. ❤️❤️❤️ facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594
I just watched again and so sorry! I missed that in the edit. It’s just missing every other stitch so from the part of the video that you can see just continue the same pattern where it’s off camera. You started in stitch 21 so miss 20, pick up 19 going in the one direction and then in the other direction, skip 22 and pick up 23 etc. hope that helps.
I want to make a two color scarf. How does this effect the dropped stitches when I start pulling. Could you do a video on a two color scarf 50 rows each color.
It won’t affect it at all. Just make your knot really tight cause you have no where to hide ends and you will need to cut the yarn close to the knot. There is a way to join to colors and then keep knitting. I haven’t learned that yet. Lol
I haven’t done it but you would have to tie the knots as soon as you do the colour change. The problem would be the yarn ends from the color change. There is no way to hide them.
Hi Shelley. Could this drop stitch pattern be used for a “sweater scarf”? Or would regular tubes be better? I will be using #3 yarn. The samples of #4 didn’t work so well. Love your details in this video. ❤ Thank you so much.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet haha! Do you watch Armchair Chef on YT? She just put out a “short” video on how to get more watch hours to be monitized. I don’t know anything about RUclips. Or if it’s something that would help you. I definitely do not want to interfere and I hope you don’t take it that way. I’m just interested. And I hope you continue making wonderful videos for us. I am so selfish. I want it all!😻

I really enjoy your participation on the channel. Thank you! ❤️
Shelley, I need your advice. I didn’t add waste yarn. but took “each stitch off” with the tail, thinking of gathering end rather than flat end.🤪 OOPS! do you think I can still drop a stitch and what do I need to do?? It was a very senior moment!
Are you still wanting a flat edge. If so then take a long piece of yarn (different color) on a needle and pick up every stitch on the top row. It will be the same as having waste yarn. Then close it as a flat edge as you normally would. If you want a gathered edge then you have done it right. As long as you picked up every stitch nothing will unravel! 🥰
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet maybe I didn’t say it properly. I didn’t want flat edge on my drop stitch scarf. Intended to add pompoms on the ends. I knitted 200 rows and then fastened off on every stitch, instead of every other stitch. So if I go back and pick up every other stitch with a different color and take out the existing “tail”, then go back and pick up the stitches on waste yarn- that would solve the problem.? I really appreciate you taking time to help me with my mistakes.
Oh I get it. Sorry. Thread a needle with the same color yarn as working yarn go a row or two below the last row and put a guide yarn through every second stitch. Unravel your work up to that point. It will stop at the guide yarn. Then cut it, leaving a tale to knit to the new yarn and continue the process. Should work.
31:26 clarification question: I see that when you are slip-stitching the first end closed, you are skipping every other stitch. However, for the second end, are you catching every stitch on the second end with your needle as you graft, or are you also skipping stitches on that end?
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet thank you! I went back and watched the video again in the morning, and that was much more clear. My tired brain had been confused :-) I used your method the next day and was really pleased with the result. Thanks so much for making the tutorial!

I have two Addis and two Sentros. I love them all.
One think I have found helps is to use the big black binder clips for paper once you have a few rows. The weight puts just enough tension.
Great idea! 💕
Wow!..im so impressed..turning a scarf from one texture into an entirely different texture at the end...so prettyyyy❤ 🎉🎉🎉...that was magic to me!
