The Sentro (48 needles) has 2 additional needles than the Addi King Size (46 needles).
The 48 needle Sentro has a counter to help you keep up with your rows of knitting.
I own the Addi Pro, Addi King size and the Sentro machines circular knitting machine;
along with 8 flatbed knitting machines. The Sentro 40 needle machine does not have
a counter.
It does? Sweet, love that, I got my machine from an online Garage Sales, for $42 bucks plus 10. 68 for shipping
I'm soo excited to use mine I hope , it's not broke, , I wonder why 1 machine has a counter and the rest don't, I think they should all have one, interesting
@@tracyshelton5599 : It would be nice if they did. I often wonder if there is some design reason why there is not a counter on the smaller Sentro. The 22 pin Addi has a counter.
By do in
I have just bought the Sentro 48 I am going to start using it tomorrow thank you
Your an absolute heaven sent! I have a learning disability/ ADHD and I'm an artist hence I'm a visual learner. You going slow and showing me step by step how to use the knitting machine was a life saver!!
Hi Mackenzie,
Nice to meet a fellow artist! I'm glad my teaching method was able to help you. 😊
I am the same I was recently diagnosed with Adult ADHD, And Dyslexia, nice to meet another visual Artists Like me, just bought one for 40$ on a line Garage sale
@@InfinitiCraftingCo I recently bought the same machine at an online Garage sale for $40 what yarn do you use most, what do you recommend for beginners? New to the machines, although I had a child's one it broke after 2 project s, the peg broke off,I was upset because my sister bought it for Christmas present
I’m the same way, ADD/ADHD too 🤦🏼♀️😂 and I’m also dyslexic.
Me too! I was born in the 60s so you can imagine how difficult school was for a visual learner! I used to ask the teachers to draw me a diagram and then I got it!
Thank you so much! I’ve been frustrated with the proper tension for casting on and have suffered tooooooo many dropped stitches within the first couple of rows. Your tip of using a slip knot to start is a game changer. I had to stop cranking after 20 rows to give you positive feedback🎉. Thanks!
Just brought this machine, after a few failed attempts and seeing another’s person how to, your video was the best! Thank you! Best tutorial ever!!!! So saving it!
You saved my sanity! I read the booklet, and after a month it was in the bin. I got it out and it worked first try following this video.
You are a Saint the instructions never said to skip the rows! You saved my daughter's birthday!
Exactly! I tried 3 times! Ugh. Had to undo everything & roll the yarn in a ball to try again & again
This is amazing explaining I have autism and adhd and some how I focused so munch thanks 😊
I got my knitting machine yesterday and started playing with it today. Even though I read the directions my dyslexia and ADD got the better of me and I had all the hooks picking up the yarn on the cast on row instead of every other one. Sheesh. Watching your vid, helped immensely! Thank you. I have a bunch of Red Heart yarn to use and hope to make hats and scarves for those who need them. ~db
I'm so glad that I could help! 💕
Thank you for the easily understandable instructions for casting off. I watched other videos and they just didn't click with my brain, yours did.
I'm so glad that I could help!
Thank you soooooooo much! I'm not usually a visual learner, the written instructions didn't make any sense to me but your video was PERFECT for me to figure out my machine!
Thanks so much for making this! My niece was just given this machine for her birthday so I've had to teach myself how to use it so I can teach her.
Through your tutorials I have managed to use my very first santro knitting machine just got gifted with my husband . It’s super amazing learning from your if I post my short I will give credit to your channel for instruction so clear and perfectly ❤ thank you dear
Thank you so much for this tutorial! After watching a few other videos and several attempts and failing miserably and found you!! After watching you and my second a try I final got it! I love the way you you explain everyone and speak slow enough that I don’t miss anything! Thank you again❤ I’m going to subscribe right!❤
Hi Sheryl,
I'm so glad my tutorial was helpful! I agree, the instructions that come with the machine are so bad lol that's what started this video series. I have a growing playlist of Sentro tutorials on my channel so, I'm glad you've joined my community 💖 Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking your time doing this video. I finally found a video that I enjoy and has taught me others. I have checked out and they were very annoying. too much hand movement around and basically talking with her hands. you took your time step by step and I really appreciate it. I'm trying to teach my granddaughter who is 9 years old and she really loved your video. she understood your video more than others that she tried to watch. thank you so much for taking your time. I have learned a lot because this machine for the past 2 days has kicked my butt.🥴 basically halfway done ,drop stitches.🥴 yeah it was a swear fest for me😅 Thank you
Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I could help you and your granddaughter with this machine! I have a bunch of other tutorials on the Sentro on this channel so if you ever need help, they're all in one convenient playlist. Happy Making and Happy New Year! 💖
Thank you for this. It is so helpful. I was getting frustrated with trying to figure it out.
I love the way you did you demonstration of how to use the machine. I've watched others but yours is by far the best. I can actually see what you are doing and you explain everything so well.. thank you!!😊
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching 💖
Your video is the best tutorial on this machine. I watched several others and I couldn’t get mine to work. But your video helped so so much! Thank you
I'm super glad I could help! 💖
I really like this video. Before I watched it I couldn't even get started. Watching your video really helped me and now I'm making hats. Thank you.
I'm glad I could help!
My first video with you & I couldn’t have had better timing!! Why? Because I just unboxed my Sentro machine!! You helpmeet SO much today!! And I’m not gonna be surprised if I have to return for another visit or two! LOL
Thank you. 🤗😃
Thank you for using a color other than white or pink! I watched other videos where they did and I couldn’t see where the yarn was positioned and ended up sitting after a few turns of the crank. My daughter gave me a Sentro and when I tried to cast, the result was my yarn coming off from the machine. Three times and I was getting frustrated. After watching your video with brightly colored yarn I finally get the yarn cast correctly and the start of a hat.
Thanks for the video, it is nice to see instructions on the sentro instead of the addi just to be sure I'm starting and stopping at the right place.
Hi Donna, I'm glad my video was helpful! That's definitely one of the reasons I started doing tutorials for the sentro. There were virtually none when I got started 😅
Thanks, I have just bought a Pyrm knitting machine and watched your loop start. It was a great hint. I had tried to start with just the Yarn draped, but the stitches didn't take. I was told to put five rows of wasted yarn so I could crochet the stitches off. Havnt tried that yet. I liked your hat. 🐨🦘
Love this! I just ordered one last night. I’m excited to get it and start using it. I haven’t gotten to crochet as much with my kids doing virtual learning so being able to make quick projects will be good.
Hi Kyla, congrats on your new machine!
Thank you for this video. At 61, I was feeling beaten by this machine. Your video was close up and we'll explained steps compared to others.
I bought this 22 pin from temu it's been a struggle with loops dropping this actually has turned out better than any,I have a sentro 48 also
Oh. I got mine from Amazon. I haven't heard many good things about temu items in general... Have you tried using thinner yarn? Like a 3 weight?
I found out the hard way, heavier yarn doesn't work too well. Lighter yarn works a lot better. And forget about thick yarn. It's a no no.
Thanks for the video. I got one of these machines for my daughter and I to play with and make a few beanies. I'll be following on to learn.
Your instructions are so helpful. I was struggling to get started and ready to scrap it. I did learn prior that it can be helpful to cast on using waste yarn making it helpful for getting good tension then switch to preferred yarn. After casting off you can pick up with a circular needle the stitches at the brim to complete edge. I am wanting to use this machine to make the chemo hats faster than by hand. Nice colorful ones for the kiddies.
That is such a good cause! I definitely like to knit brims onto these hats nowadays. Sometimes you still may need to add stitches though because hand tension is a lot different from that of the machine.
Over the years I have been making chemo hats with the rolled rim by hand. Very helpful to relax with. After 60 years I still look at my hands which is a benefit. Can't think and knit at the same time or be snacking all evening. Doing them with a Sentro will speed up the process for sure.
Thank you for your video 🙂 I haven't used mine since my grandma in law past away not long ago. So your video helped me . God bless
This was so very helpful to get started. I received this machine as a gift with no instructions and have flailed for a long time trying to figure it out myself. Thank you!
I'm so glad to be a help!
I started watching another video but I liked your instructions and how you talk through the video.
Thank you! I bought one of these off Temu and it came with a small instruction sheet with minimal English instruction. I have been looking for a video with this much clarity on how to cast off and make hats.
Thanks for watching! I actually have separate videos for both of those topics in my " How to Use The Sentro Knitting Machine" playlist
Thank you for this video. I had one of these machines when I was a pre-teen, but I had completely forgotten how to use it. I bought the Sentro mini to use with my pre-k students to make soft toys for our classroom. I tried to follow the poorly written instructions, and we kept dropping stiches. Now I feel more confident using the machine with my little ones! Your video is very helpful!
Thank you I'm so glad I found this video I was given one of these but with no instructions or the tensioner I'll need to figure out what to do about that
from your video i finally learned to cast on I am 78 and learning stuff can confuse me but you made it simple
Thank you for your prompt reply i want to see more video doing knitted item so i can learn to use this Sentro knitting machine but i must say you are great i under stand you as you teach thank you so much have a great and bless day
Awesome slow, clear and close up for this artistic visual learner😬
So glad I could help! 💖
Thank you so much for this video. It was so well made and easy to follow. I really appreciate that you took the time to share your knowledge with all of us.
Thank you very much, I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for posting easy to follow instructions! You’re awesome!
Aw I'm glad to help! Thank you for watching! Happy Making and Happy New Year!
Thank you for making this video. I await my machine, but in the meantime I am trying to learn about it. You give lots of comments that are helpful, and I will be reading all the comments and replies.
Hi Mike, I'm glad to help! There's a whole playlist of tutorials for the Sentro on my channel that include trouble shooting and projects also. Best of luck with your new machine!
Thank you so much for this video. After watching a few videos and was about to throw the machine out the window I found yours and now I get it! ❤
I'm so glad I could help! 💖
Thank you Thank you! I had no clue that we needed to go back & forth! I tried an entire skein 3 times & messed up so much! I still can’t figure out how to “finish” the hat. I will keep watching. Yeah!
I have watched other video about Sentro knitting machine , I have learned more from you..thank you
I'm so glad to be a part of your craft journey! 💕😊
I just love your channel and you are precise in teaching thank you! I just love those pastel rainbows and want to try to do hats for my Grand daughters. Thank you!!!
Thank you for making these videos I'm new at using this machine and right now I'm on my third hat. I was clueless when I got it how to cast on and off and now after watching you I finally got it. I have one request if you could move your camera to the other side of your hands because sometimes your right hand is blocking what you're doing and it's hard to know without trial and fail to figure it out. Thank you so much
OMG thank you!! I was getting so frustrated with this dang machine. I finally got it to cast on correctly 🙌
I'm so glad I could help! 💖
I’m jealous. I bought a Sentro on Amazon but I did not receive the model I asked for and to boot it was already used because who had it before me used 2 skeins and made a tube and left it in there with the wrappers. I’m returning it too much noise in cranking. I did try it out to see how it works. I can tell right off the bat it was not friendly with red heart yarn but then again this was a Santro. Who knows how or how the first person treated it. I tried it to see if I would like it and I found it was fun. When I get my refund from Amazon then I will try again. Thanks for your video.
Thank you, this is a great video. Was the most useful to help my niece set-up her machine.
Excellent video! Super clear and easy to follow. Thanks so much
I'm glad to help! Thank you for watching! Happy Making and Happy New Year!
Thank you! This saved my patience, I almost gave up and sent it back because I was not figuring it out
Thank you for the video it took me a week to get started and today I watched you and you were so helpful I got it on the third go around thank you this was very helpful to me can't wait until your next video
I'm really glad my video helped you! ☺ I have a whole sentro playlist on my channel here for troubleshooting and projects so I hope you enjoy💖
Happy Making!
Just got this for Christmas still beginners of knitting a d crochet on and off got alot of projects started none finshed so this going to com in handy
Hi!
Congrats on the new machine! I hope you'll come to love it like I do. I've got quite a few tips and tricks for it and I've made a playlist of tutorials over the last couple of years that you could check out if you need help. I also knit and crochet in general so I hope those stitch and technique tutorials will be helpful to you also. Thanks for watching! 💖

When you take the knitting off the machine, you need to pull it lengthways because it has been stretched sideways by the machine. You will then close up the stitches like they should be....and your knitting will be considerably longer and nice and springy!
Thank you so much. This video really helped me get started with my Sentro machine. I feel more comfortable after watching this video.
You just taught me the best way to cast on and off using the Sentro! Thank you! Now I can really crank out some hats & scarves!!!
Hi Letitia, really glad I could help! Good luck on your projects 😊♥
This tutorial is perfect. Thank you, SO MUCH!!!
Thank you this is the only video I found that actually helped me start...
Hi Emmy, I'm glad my video was helpful! Feel free to check out my Sentro playlist for troubleshooting and project ideas 😊
I am so glad i found this video. I had a hard time figuring out my machine.
☺
Glad I could help!
I just received one of these as a gift today. I'm so excited to make something.
Hi thank you so much. I appreciate this. I bought the smaller 22 noodles centro and I couldn’t figure out how to thread it because the instructions are in Chinese so weird. But I appreciate this and thank you very much for making a bunch of scarves baby hats , and fingerless gloves
I watched this last year, but over the summer I forgot how to start off. You quickly got me back on track! It's cold now, so people can appreciate a nice hat... Late Christmas gifts. I wish it made mittens, too. By the way, you can't just sew over knitted stuff with a sewing machine. Maybe with special techniques.
I'm so glad I could help out! You can actually make mittens on this machine, I just haven't covered it yet.... 🤔 I did one a long time ago on fingerless mits but that doesn't do much good in these sub 0 temps 😅 Okay, I still haven't tried that but I've heard so many different things. I'll keep looking into it. Thanks for watching! 💖
Thank you for your awesome video.... I am doing a year long charity project making hats for my community this helped so much!
Glad it was helpful, you're doing a wonderful thing!
Thank you so much. It was just the help I needed to figure the machine out.
I'm glad I could help!
Thank you so much for posting this video. It was a huge help for me.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching ☺
THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I had tons of trouble having to pick up dropped knits and spending 10 minutes when i could be doing this .
Thank you for your patience to teach me to cast on my yarn after waiting for a month to learn you showed me in less than 10 minutes
This video was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! ❤️💕
I'm glad to help! Thank you for watching! Happy Making and Happy New Year!
Thank you so much I had the worst trouble casting on and dropping stitches. I’m stilll having trouble
I just open my , I received as a present, but is hard for me understand the instructions sonI was looking in RUclips and I find you, this tutorial looks easy and very well explained. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Dina, I'm glad I could help! 😊
Super good tutorial! I didn’t under stand the last bit before I cranked it so I got a little frustrated and I did a loom knitting so I new how to make the thick bottom bit of a toque.
Thank you for making this video. I bought the one you have and the little one as well. Thank you so much. Love what you did with the hat at the bottom with the crochet.Thank you.
You're welcome! I'm glad to help!
Hello dear thank you for this video and thank you for your patience
Thank you for taking the time to make this video it helped me a lot and my machine really hated the red heart stripes I was using.
I'm so glad that this video helped! Yeah, the unfortunate thing about this machine is that it hates red heart super saver 😅 There's a link to one of my blog posts in the description that runs down a list of yarns that work with the sentro. I also have a playlist of tutorials for this machine on my channel: ruclips.net/p/PLAEm6kOxgpdTstVdZQKETAT572sC3ZXou
Thanks for watching and happy making!
@@InfinitiCraftingCo thank you so much for replying I will be checking out both 😀
@@wickedwhimzee no problem! ☺️
Omg you're a life saver, I'm awful at reading long instructions. You've definitely saved me a few hours of re-reading and failed attempts.
Hi Ava,
I'm glad I could help! The instructions I got with the machine were so vague, I had to start doing videos on the machine, it was such a struggle 😅
Thank you so much! And also ty for enable a closed captioning. Great video!!! Subscribe! ❤️
I'm so glad to be helpful! Welcome aboard 🤗
You said you’d add the yarn kind and color in the description. Couldn’t find it. Help! Loved the yarn.
Random thought. You have very pretty hands. I see a lot of tutorial videos and so many have bad manicures or dirty nails. Your hands are beautiful. God gifted you!
Hi! I'm so sorry about that, thanks for pointing it out, I just updated the description box with that info!
(Thank you so much for the compliment, I blush 😊 )
This was an AWESOME teaching video ! THANK YOU
thank you so much for your sharing on how to operate this machine. you made it so easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
ty for clear precise instructions on using the machine. I just got my 22 needle machine and my 44 needle comes next week. they have basically no instructions with it. and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong on beginning cast. now I am rolling along. TY
Hi Joan,
That's exactly why I started making tutorials for this machine. I'm so glad that I could be helpful! Thank you for watching! 😊
Thank you so very much for the very detailed instructions!! I have 2 machines of sentro - 1 was delivered MONTHS after I ordered it - and I am just now going to start trying to make hats and tube scarves for the homeless in our city in time for tge winter. I am a knitter but that takes me FOREVER!!
1 question I have is how many rows should a regular hat be?
Thank you.
Baby-1yr old: about 25-30 rows
Toddler: about the same as a baby, maybe more
Tweens and teens: 30-35 rows
Women: 32- 40 rows
Men: 38-45 rows
I hoped this helped!
If you live in a colder climate, you can double the rows say for example: 40 rows to 80 rows and crochet or knit the top and double up your yarn for a warmer hat. It's like wearing a warmer hat. I did make hats where I live but it's to hot in the fall to wear them if they are doubled up.
Awesome!!!! Great pace and descriptions!! I can’t wait to get started.
Thank you 😊. Your video was super helpful.
Thank you. Would love to see how you finish your hat off.
I just ordered one of those machine I have the 22 knitting loom machine and the 40 right now. I love them.
awesome video!!! really needed it too bc I just unboxed my sentro! thank you!! :D
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but if you do a double wall beanie you can hide this edges better without having to crochet. There are several good videos on it on RUclips.
Oh for sure! I've done other videos on hats with different methods. I think my favorite way is doubling up the brim on my beanies now.
Thank You for this info, VERY helpful, literally just unboxed mine~!
Thank you so much. I was about to get rid of my machine because I couldn't figure it out.
Glad I could help!
Thank you for sharing this video, I have a sentro knitting machine and I haven't used it yet but I will be thanks to your video. I have subscribed to your RUclips channel and look forward to watching all your videos.
Hi Darlene!
I'm glad to have given some inspiration! Welcome aboard and I hope you enjoy the rest of my content! :3
@@InfinitiCraftingCo ❤
I just got a new one myself but I think it might be a boot leg sentro bc I d have a row counter😢 but I’ll try using it. Enjoyed watching the video thanks
Thank you for this video. Just a comment. When you were reading the yarn to remove, your hand was in the way so I couldn't see how exactly you did this.
Hi,
Yeah, at the time, I had a bad set up but shortly after, I was able to make a tutorial that specifically focuses on casting off the machine. You can view that here ruclips.net/video/a1Qn4l5r6pM/видео.html
Thanks for your video, I have res the comments. Amazing everyone has succeed. But I have still problems losing stitches and the whole line is missing through
I WOULD like TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE A BABY BLANKET USING THE P BUTTON ON THE MACHINE. I can't make heads or tails out ot the instructions. I REALLY ENJOY AND UNDERSTAND THE HAT BUTTON THAT YOU TAUGHT. THANK YOU ANGIE
I love this video! Only thing when casting off i couldn't see which part of the yarn you use with the needle...i have a 40 needle, kraftic knitting machine.
Hi Mary, I have a tutorial for casting off on my channel with a clearer view 💖
Thank you for making it easy to use my machine. Do you have a video on how to add a brim to the hat?
Hi! Thanks for watching~ I certainly do. It's on my 'How to Use the Sentro Knitting Machine' playlist
This video is very helpful!! I'm the same as you, I want an exact reference too. Thank you for this helpful video ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Christine,
Thanks for watching! I hope my tutorials continue to be helpful 💖
Thanks for this! Super helpful ❤
Glad I could help!
Love my knitting machine. But my is a 40 needle and no counter. But I got it down so far. At first I wanted to throw it out the window, because I got so mad at it and at me. Learning faz I guess. But I got it now I got it going.
Thanks so much this is the first video that made sence
Glad it helped!
Yes. I just got mine
Thanks, I just got mine and had trouble starting but your tutorial help me a lot . Thanks. Do you know where I can get a book on making projects with it. I crochet a lot.
Thank you this video really helped me God Bless you ❤❤❤
