- Loops and Threads Facet Yarn is the perfect yarn for this throw blanket. It is soft and the colours are gorgeous. Best of all, our machines LOVE it!
I used my 46 needle machine and 5 balls of yarn in the colour…Slate.
Happy Knitting my friends!
Love,
Shelley 🧶❤️🧶

Thanks!! I am looking forward to start making blanket and hoodies to give it away to my local homeless shelter Thanks a million 🙏🙏
I have watched a dozen or more knitting machine panel videos and yours was the one that made me finally get it! I can finally make consistent edged panels! Thank you!
That’s great!! Thank you 😊
And ….. way to go!!!
What??? I'm now DENNY'S/MICHAEL'S Senior Discount OLD???
Hahaha!!!!
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet❤❤😊
Thank you for all the time and effort it takes to make your videos. Love your creations and easy going happy style.
@@charlottesloan1401 your welcome! Thank you so much!😊
I LOVE this as I live in Florida, and it's perfect for those "chilly" 60 degree nights, LOL!
So glad you like it! I want your weather!! Haha!
Trying to make the blanket, the problem I am having is putting the panel together, we do not have a dollar Rama in the United States and is the yarn you used for that a 2 weight or a 1 fine weight?
I don’t know what you would call it. Likely a 1 fine but just use the yarn you are making the blanket with. It will be perfect. 😊
Like the video BUT slow down ! You are gabbling and I have to keep going back to make sense of what you are saying. Very distracting. I am having to look away from the instructions to understand you
I think I may have mentioned this to you in several other comments. Am I right ?
There is a gear in the top right hand corner of the video where you can change the speed.
I am who I am and
Forget about listening to 🎉music or podcast... I enjoy listening and watching you to make sure I do it right! I'm On the bind off of my 2nd panel of 5.. thank you so much for taking time for this tutorial. I'll be back for the seaming 😺😻see you later.
Hahahaha! 😂
Another great tutorial! Your machine is so quiet compared to mine and moves much smoother. I would love to see a video of the fix for your handle you described.
I will do it soon. 🥰
Just posted it! 🥰
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Thank you so much.💕
Im new here and to addi machine. Are you turning clockwise and counter clockwise? Donna
Clockwise
Beautiful blanket. I would be concerned that the tassels wouldn't hold up or look nice and unravel because it is roving yarn, do you have experience with having made tassels with this kind of yarn and keeping it for long term, washing-drying, etc? I was also wondering if I it would bother me that the stripes do not line up when doing the panels for the blankets but I think I need to see a bigger picture of the blanket or just try to make one myself. Thanks so much for the video and the tutorial.
I do not have experience washing this kind of yard. Now
I’m concerned. Lol! But we will see.
I am a stickler when it comes to
Matching the lines on projects but this doesn’t look like it’s supposed to match because the lines are all different thicknesses. The blanket truly is beautiful.
Coincidentally, I removed it from the wash. I added it with towels cause I wanted it to get a good beating. Hahahaha!
It was shedding a bit so I wanted to see if that’s all it needed.
I just hung it on the line and I will do a short video to show how great it came out.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet thanks
Appreciate watching this and will like to get the machine ,please what d Name of the machine
@@omotoshofunke6125 it’s an Addi King circular knitting machine
How do u stop the sides an ends from curling in
@@dakotarone3054 this side ends naturally curl on a flat panel. You can straighten it a bit by blocking it. Crocheting an edge also works great to eliminate the curl.
How many rows do you do for baby blankets?
@@breannawoods120 I do not post row counts. Please watch any of my baby blanket videos. It’s all there for you.
Would love to see the tin foil hack If you get the time. I have lots of "Unforgettable" yarn that I've often wondered if it would work in the machine as its prone to snagging onto itself. I love it though and making a throw with it would be a dream.
I’ll try and get a video out soon. 🥰
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Thank you so much, you rock! 😊
I made a video this afternoon. It’s just downloading. 🥰
Thank you for all your valuable youtube videos and your patterns. It is because of you that I learnt how to use the knitting machines and now own all three sizes of the Sentro style machines. I belong to a knitting group that makes baby hats and blankets for hospitals and hats and scarves for out of the cold. The leader of our group, is not thrilled with my using machines rather than knitting or crocheting items as she feels that the tubes take up more yarn than just knitting or crocheting an item. We try to get donations of yarn, but we do not get much donated and each or us in the group pay into our fund, to purchase yarn that way, so I understand her concern of using up too much yarn. I love your checkered baby blanket, but it does not meet her criteria. Do you have a pattern for a flat panel baby blanket, or a measurement for downsizing your easy throw blanket that is done in a flat mode? Do you feel that this pattern, taken down in size would work for a baby blanket? I have to admit that I do not work in flat mode, so this will also be a learning curve for me, but I am sure there must be a way to make a flat panel baby blanket, although it will not be as warm a tube produced blanket. Thank you for al your hard work, it is greatly appreciated.
@@miriamfreilich8003 you are welcome!
I do not post revised written patterns of any of my work but once you learn the technique it would be quite easy for you to just do less rows and make a smaller blanket. I also have single layer beanies in my channel. Go to my beanie playlist and look for them. They take half the amount of yarn and maybe your leader would be happier.
Thank you so much for answering so quickly. I will use the easy throw pattern as a guide and figure it out. I know that my next question, depends on what type or yarn that one is using, but I wondered if there was a chart indicating the approximate width of the largest panel of each size can add to an Addi machine to make them wider. Thank you
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet
@@miriamfreilich8003 the panels will be the same width no matter what yarn you use because the needles don’t change. Just knit it as long as you want it and continue adding panels till it’s the width you want it.
Can you do a braided join on a flat panel?
@@joannepiller5918 I haven’t done it but I would think you for sure could.
Great tutorial Shelley! I got through 4 panels of 300 rows 👏🏻👏🏻 but my fifth panel with the same yarn, was giving me problems. At row 240 - yarn did not catch on first 5 needles... five stitches😵💫🙀😡😡😡 I will look for answers to this problem. Found one on "how to reverse". May try lifelines??? Hard to work on fixing on machine because of hand tremors. May leave it for a few days. Any suggestions?
You could just take the work off each of the needles, one needle at a time and drop down the row to below that missed stitch and then pick them up with your crochet hook as you do a tucked stitch. Don’t reverse. Just do it on the next round.
If it is way down your panel fix it when it’s off the machine. I have a video on my channel… how to fix a dropped stitch once your work is off the machine.
Click on videos and scroll quite a ways down. You will find it.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet the working yarn came loose at the start of a new row and before I realized it the yarn fell behind 5 needles as I moved the carriage so none knitted and working yarn is just hanging out behind needles. 🙀 sounds weird. I must have blinked!
Thank you Shelley, I will check your videos again. I know how to pick up a single missed stitch, But not 5 in a row. Maybe I'm just afraid to try.
Sorry that happened. It can be frustrating for sure.
Might be worth redoing the entire panel.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet I know you can sympathize because you may have experienced it. Thanks for your help.
Oh absolutely! We all have!
How many rows do you do with the waste yarn? Idk if you said or not
@@nateschmall8873 I generally do 7 rows of waste yarn.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Oh ok cool. Thank you
Why do you need to use waist yarn?
To hold my stitches so I can sew a flat edge.
What is the width and height?
@@olfatkamal7067 I tell you at the beginning of the video.
Bonjour combien de pelotes de laine pour le plaide .🤩😍👍.
I don't see any link
For what ?
Thank you so much for this video, love these panels and I will be making this one!!!
You are very welcome! Please show me your finished project in my FB group. 😍
وااااااو جميله جدا احببتها ❤❤
My Sentro broke but I am getting an Addi can’t wait to do this pattern
@@tatianaterziian2907 your gonna love your Addi!
Try using a crochet needle and catch a stitch on each side to fasten it together by crocheting and see if you like the crocheted method better
Yes, that is a great suggestion.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It's beautiful.
Thank you so much! 😊 Your welcome😊
Are you rotating the direction that you are cranking to go back and forth
Yes I am
Very helpful ❤ thanks for sharing.😁
Your very welcome! ☺️
Wow!! I love it!❤
No matter how many times I have watched making flat panel videos, I still cannot do them. I don't know what I do wrong, but they just don't like me.
Watch my videos. If this one isn’t working for you watch another one of mine that has flat panels and do exactly what I do…. Lol!
Trust me, if I can get it, so can you.
Don’t give up.
Me tooooo
What size are the balls if wool in grams.
I don’t have any left to check. Do a Google search on the yarn and you will find it quite easily. 😊
Thank you, very nice video! Why do you need waste yarn? Would it be possible to knit without it?
So that I can make a straight edge on the end. Otherwise it would gather.
to use waste yarn for the first few rows ensures 2 things ; it secures the stitches of the very first row, secondly if ever working a hem which means we want an edge that does not roll +usually will take 5 -7 rows + it is the nature of the beast they call it. stockingnette stitch is the end result of knitting like this verses > handknitting ; to do a hem is a more finished look , double the edging to at least 1 & half inches to 2 inches picking up those stitches identified by waste yarn { For ex. @ inch of knitted fabric = 5 stitches do you want a two inch hem? 10 rows doubled 20 rows < ultimately use the row above the last row of waste yarn to connect with that 20th row ,you may even complete this as you knit by pulling the first one done @ beginning row to the current one & knit them together
Hi I have bought the electric adapter and takes a lot of strain off my shoulder I love it but I want to make a flat panel so I can make a jumper trying to work out if I can use the electric adapter I think I can but very slowly see what happens 😊
I wish I could give you an answer but I have no idea. I hope it works for
you.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet you should get one there not that expensive and takes the strain off your arm and you can adjust it to go fast or slow perfect for hats and double panels takes less time too 😊
On my CSM machine, I pull the waste yarn off from the last row next to the panel. You simply find the loose end and pull up a loop from the opposite end (like a gathering thread) until the loose end comes through. Then the whole waste yarn portion comes free from the panel. You can then unravel it easily and wind it for reuse. Looks like it would work for these machines too. I haven't tried it. My Addi is being shipped, can't wait. Enjoying your videos while waiting.😊
You definitely can do that on a tube. I haven’t tried it on a flat panel but I bet it would work as well.
Hmmm!🤔 Gonna give it a try! Thank you. 😊
I love this blanket! I noticed that the striping pattern on the panels had the white stripe to the right of the 1 panel and to the left on the other one. I'm not sure, but I'm wondering if you turned the second and forth panel before connecting them, would they line up better? I can't wait to try this. Thank you! ❤😊
They possibly would have but for this blanket I let it work up without intentionally trying to match stripes.
Hi, love your videos! This was my very first try at flat panels and I am hooked. Yes, you can put the single yarn color between the scrap and main yarn color and it works so much easier to take off! Please keep the videos coming!!!
Thank you! I will try and keep them coming! Thanks for watching!
I can do it, but I usually drop stitches, so annoying! But I guess practice make perfect!
your tutorials and work is very inspiring
Thank you so much! 🥰
Great video, thank you! I have never made a flat panel on my Addi before and was wondering if it’s necessary to use the extra plastic thingies which came with the machine? I can’t see them on your demo. I went out today for some yarn to make a baby blanket referring to one of your previous videos. I like the idea of a single layer for less cool days. I wish there were discounts here in France for yarn ….. or anything!!
Thank you my friend! You can use the stoppers if you are not using all 43 needles.
I have used them before I like them.
You can make flat panels in circular mode and then the black needles will be the middle needles if your panel and the stoppers will be on each side.
Then it counts in the middle of each row.
Hope that makes sense. Lol
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Yes that makes sense! Hopefully today I’ll put it to the test on the baby blanket! Thank you!
Please show it in a group and hopefully I will see it. Have fun!
Lovely blanket! So many great tips!
Thanks so much! 😊
😢 I have never attempted a flat panel, so I saw this video and thought this looks simple enough...well, 4 attempts and finally was on my way. 1st three attempts, my waste yarn was too thick.
Then, in my fourth attempt, I was going along well, and then I had two dropped stitches at the end of the row of my 123rd row...guess I will be frogging and trying again.
Can someone do a video of how to fix a drop stitch at end of row, please?
I sure hope you didn’t frog it yet. Your last stitch! Wow! You did great!
Drop down the row a bit and work it back up with a crochet hook.
I have a video on my channel. You can do it!
You can also fix it if it’s off the machine. My videos showing this is in a tube but it’s the same for flat panels.
I did try to fix it... but it looked horrible, so I frogged it. I was able to complete two panels tonight.
Thank you for your reply.
This video was the first of yours I have seen, and I went to the store yesterday, bought the yarn, and started the blanket today.
For my first ever flat panel, I am learning a lot...I have had my addi for two years and have only made hats, scarves, and head bands. I was very nervous about trying this, and I am still worried I am going to make a big mess. I am determined I will finish this blanket.
Thank you for making it look easy!!!
Your so welcome! I’m proud of you for trying.
I have many videos on my channel. Please look through them.
I also have a FB group. I’d love to have you join.

Looks lovely may give this a go
Thank you 😊
Very nice ❤
Thank you!
Love your tutorials!!! All I’ve learned to make in my Addi, I learned from you. Did you do this in the circular setting or flat? Also, can you do a tutorial using the stoppers? Thanks for all you do. 🙏
Thank you! This one is flat panel.
I did a tutorial using the stoppers when your machine is in circular mode.
I should do one on flat panel mode as well.
However, watch any of my videos where I do a flat panel work and I’ve likely used them.
