Saw this video, took my wife's machine a thing of yarn, turned on anime and a hour later I'm enjoying a nice new warm beanie and a sense of accomplishment for the day. 😁 This was enjoyable. Great tutorial.
You're channel's quickly becoming a new favourite of mine. The way you finesse your tutorials is just 😘👌🏽 From the editing, the bg music, your presentation is so enjoyable to watch and learn from. I doubt I'll be copping this knitting machine but I am learning how to sew beanies right now and your video dropping is a welcome resource. Looking forward to the next video ✨✨
I like your work, I usually use 10 rows of waste yarn, so you don't have to waste your main yarn. It gives your work a nice clean edge when you're remove the waste yarn.
just made mt first beanie actualy wearing it rn cant wait to make more been trying to make one for an hour with other videos but urs explains this way better!! :D
I just got my machine and attempted two beanies and failed miserably. I have subscribed to your channel and I believe you have the best explanation Thank you very much. I'm going to give it try number three lol
This is soo cool. I'm going to do this. I have a big head and typically have briads in the winter so it makes my head bigger lol. I've wanted to knit a hat that can fit my head. Didn't know how to until now 😃😃😃
Unfortunately you have to research some tricks for larger heads, cause these machines actually produce a snug fit otherwise. (Such as how to rib the band, etc.) I love making headbands because you can increase it lengthwise.
Great video! I was wondering if u could do any how to sew a jacket (ex. varsity, bomber, etc.). I'm really interested in sewing since it's our really small family business but I feel like it isn't being used in it's full potential since they are only sewing tank tops and shorts.
If you still want to use your hanks of yarn, you can put one around the back of a chair to keep it from tangling as you wind into a ball. (there are things called umbrella swifts and ball winders -- if you are into buying yarn from small dyers/independent fiber artists, most sell in hanks). to untangle that sky-blue hank, you have to do it by hand, but it can be done esp while watching TV. HTH!
Was good to see someone using fingering weight yarn to make a hat. I’ve only used #4 worsted weight because I like to make them reversible. That doesn’t work with fingering weight yarn because you can see through layers too easily. But a solid color hat with fingering weight yarn would be fine. I love your results and will investigate this approach. And it probably makes a more lightweight stretchable hat, right? Thanks for the great video & incentive!!
You should try getting your hands on a linear knitting machine. Way more expensive, time consuming and difficult. But they are simply marvelous machines.
So basically your telling me I spent all this effort time and money to learn how go knit, and acctually do it, to find out there is a machine that can completely do it for me... nice 🥲
You do such a good job of explaining - you should get a REAL circular knitting machine made of more solid cast iron material also known as a csm antique or new sock machine, and tackle socks and hats and other things on it .
It'd be really cool if you did a video for raglan sleeves, maybe a boxy cut hoodie and some nice color blocking. Sleeves, hood, body, kangaroo pouch and the drawstring, maybe the bands at the cuff and waist area... That's a lot of panels without even adding anything besides the clean classic look.
Machines....scare me 😂 I'll stick to doing it by hand, lol. I'm on my fourth beanie (8 in) and I just got my yarn for it Tuesday evening. My fastest, by far. I'm proud of how neat my knitting is :)
Great video. It only has 46 needles? My pattern calls for 96 cast on stitches. How does that work? It looks like the hats it makes are very loose and not very snug.
It's loose because of the weight of yarn he used (fingering, size 1). This creates a very loose/open fabric on this machine. I have used a sport and DK yarn (size 3, and size 4) to make a tighter beanie. They are very thick though because of the dual layers. I would not use any bigger yarn than a size 4 though as chunkier yarn tends to be too thick for the machine to push the stitches off and you end up knitting two together or dropping stitches entirely.
can i make a suggestion, get an umbrela swift and a ball winder, it will make it easer to cake up your balls so you dont have to get someone else to do it and you can still buy pretty yarn
Can you change the width/circumference on this machine? I'd like to make a beanie for someone who has trouble finding any that will fit him bc of his thicc head. (They always say one size fits all but we know that's not the case.) These look pretty slim fitting as well. Is there any option to change that?
It's a combination of yarn and gauge. If you use thicker yarn and the lower settings on the "tension" it results on a stretchier fabric. Because you cannot change the number of stitches (48) that would be the best way go work around. But definitely having a play with it would be my call.
Hi, im your subscriber from Indonesia. Thank you for all your videos, it really helped me. May i know what overlock machine and table did you use? Thank you b4.
if you want 2 colors, just divide your total rows by half, then switch colors at that interval perhaps with a darker color between two contrasting colors like black separation for 5-10 rows for a grey/tan reversible. Dean and beans sock machines describes how to change yarn mid project "Changing CSM Yarn", different machine but essentially the same process for this machine. other options would be to make one full beanie to your desired size, to find how many rows you like, then unravel the project for a total length/weight and dye your own yarn in two tones.
Is there a way to have the top become gradually „rounder“? At least that’s how my nicer store bought beanies look like. There doesn’t seem to be this scrunch at the top…
I don't have one yet.. Just added to my cart on Amazon but I've been making hats and masks out ribbed fabric for a while now.... If you have a sewing machine or serger you can round the top/crown edges out just how you want them easily. Hope that helps... 🤷🏿♂️
I think what you want to know is how to wedge the top of your hat. if you are okay with a single layer beanie it shouldn't be too hard on this machine, there are wedging tutorials out there. if you a dual layered beanie to wedge closed like store bought ones, and don't want sewing seams and a nice neat look a dual cylinder machine is what you'd be looking for, but those are a lot more expensive and tend to be professional/business oriented. the machine in this video is essentially a beginners test machine to see if your into the hobby or for kids, they are heavily advertised towards kids because these are good learning machines and aren't necessarily the most durable. My sister had one of these and never used it, and I gave it a shot as a teenager the mechanism broke after the 4th scarf. I'm sure they are better now than 15 years ago now being at nearly 1/8th the cost because there are better plastics these could be made of now, and china has better QC then back then. If you have a 3d printer there are printable CSM machines that are going to be better quality than this with metal latched knitting needles entirely customizable to your needs from below 22 slot to 90+ slot cylinders.
There are tutorials that show how to take the live stitches off the machine and onto needles. This allows you to then knit stitches together gradually decreasing the stitch count (makes the hole smaller) and keeping that rounded look instead of cinched. I don't know of a way you can do it in the round on this machine.
Hello Allen I have made several inquires on an order I placed with you but have not yet received a response on where is my shipment. I enjoy your videos but the customer service is lacking big time …if no one responds with an update I will request and pursue a refund
CAUTION ordering from Glory Allen ..I ordered the reversible bucket hat kit. After weeks of waiting it arrived however it did NOT contain the two different colored fabrics as described. I have made MULTIPLE attempts to contact and resolve this issue with photo evidence however..crickets. I am a supporter of small business and these videos are helpful but as a paying customer I am disappointed with the sheer lack of customer service. If this issue isn’t resolved I will never order from this company again and will encourage others in my circle not to order as well
Saw this video, took my wife's machine a thing of yarn, turned on anime and a hour later I'm enjoying a nice new warm beanie and a sense of accomplishment for the day. 😁 This was enjoyable. Great tutorial.
This is the best tutorial that I’ve ever seen .thank you so much
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful 😊
Definitely the best tutorial around.
for a person who buys hella beanies this is the perfect gift to my self this upcoming year lol gooood looks
Good demo, you didn't mumble or rush it, or go on about things that have little to do with the subject. You are a good teacher. 😃👍
That mini photo shoot with the beanies was so cute of you ☺
I bought a machine and my first few tries where not the best. You make it seem easy, I guess I shouldn't stress over it, take my time. Thanks
You're channel's quickly becoming a new favourite of mine. The way you finesse your tutorials is just 😘👌🏽 From the editing, the bg music, your presentation is so enjoyable to watch and learn from.

steaming the yarn help form it’s shape
Can you please do more knitting/crocheting videos pls!! I love watching them and they’re so helpful! 🥺💕
just made mt first beanie actualy wearing it rn cant wait to make more been trying to make one for an hour with other videos but urs explains this way better!! :D
I just got my machine and attempted two beanies and failed miserably. I have subscribed to your channel and I believe you have the best explanation Thank you very much. I'm going to give it try number three lol
Thanks for the tip of holding the next loop when casting off. No one else has that in their videos. It was a real problem for me. Gonna try this
This is soo cool. I'm going to do this. I have a big head and typically have briads in the winter so it makes my head bigger lol. I've wanted to knit a hat that can fit my head. Didn't know how to until now 😃😃😃
I have a big head too. What did you adjust in this vid to make a wide beanie
Unfortunately you have to research some tricks for larger heads, cause these machines actually produce a snug fit otherwise. (Such as how to rib the band, etc.) I love making headbands because you can increase it lengthwise.
If you're getting yarn from a yarn store they often have a ball winder and swift that anybody can use to wind their Hanks into center pull balls!
You explain so nicely 👍
I love my sentro ❤. I've made a dozen hats since I got it. This is a great getting started tutorial 👍
Awesome video a ski mask/ baklava tutorial using this machine would be sick!! Keep up the great content
Great video! I was wondering if u could do any how to sew a jacket (ex. varsity, bomber, etc.). I'm really interested in sewing since it's our really small family business but I feel like it isn't being used in it's full potential since they are only sewing tank tops and shorts.
I made a bunch of beanie using this machine for a Christmas gifts 🎁 and my friends loved it 🤩! I’m enjoying so much to make stuff out of it!
If you still want to use your hanks of yarn, you can put one around the back of a chair to keep it from tangling as you wind into a ball.

HTH!
thank you! i was going to say all of this! you saved me the typing!
also, that blue yarn isn’t really badly gnarled up. it can be saved!!♥️
Also if you have a local yarn shop they will often have a swift and ball winder for communal use! Because swift's are pretty pricey.

I like that dark blue style
You should try getting your hands on a linear knitting machine. Way more expensive, time consuming and difficult. But they are simply marvelous machines.
So basically your telling me I spent all this effort time and money to learn how go knit, and acctually do it, to find out there is a machine that can completely do it for me... nice 🥲
Could you do a video explaining how to mix in different yarn colors or maybe how to make patterns on the beanies?
Do you also knit traditionally or just a machine? I think the machine is cool but it's a beast and takes awhile to learn.
Just found your channel, looking to clone a dress. Nice video. Hand knitter here . All the best
The best I have seen
You do such a good job of explaining - you should get a REAL circular knitting machine made of more solid cast iron material also known as a csm antique or new sock machine, and tackle socks and hats and other things on it .
This is so cool, what a neat little machine! Amazing video as always, I've ordered one :D
so great please make more sentro videos!!! easiest. to understand by far!
omg the best tutorial please make more sentro tutorials!!
It'd be really cool if you did a video for raglan sleeves, maybe a boxy cut hoodie and some nice color blocking.
Sleeves, hood, body, kangaroo pouch and the drawstring, maybe the bands at the cuff and waist area... That's a lot of panels without even adding anything besides the clean classic look.
Great tutorial
Bobby pins work if you lose the needle
Your video was awesome ✨
Mean as video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait to get myself one!!
Now show how to do a stripe!
Machines....scare me 😂 I'll stick to doing it by hand, lol. I'm on my fourth beanie (8 in) and I just got my yarn for it Tuesday evening. My fastest, by far. I'm proud of how neat my knitting is :)
I would love to learn how to knit by hand. It looks so complicated!
Hi, can you make a video about the panel mode of this machine as well? like for a bag or as you said, sweaters.
this is the way
WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU DROP THE LOOPS AT THE END?
How long does it take to make one beanie?
So cool! I wish I had the patience for this! 😅
I’m sorta confused, when you first wind the yarn it’s clock wise then after that it’s always counter clockwise?
So cute
nice
class video as Always!
Hey man great video. I have a question, who makes your gaming chair? It looks really comfortable.
So dope. Thanks
I want a same machine but can be used to make a sweater or a blanket.
name of the machine??
I have this same machine and it drops stitches on me. How do you stop the stitches from dropping?
What a chill dude! Thanks for the tutorial! 💛
Very nice 👍👍
Any good yarn shop can wind your yarn for you.
bro can u make a knitted ski mask // balaclava tut??
Why is the yarn still in a hank? You have to wind it into a ball first.
What is the best yarn for making benies
Hey I’m back with the request for skimask/ baklava tutorial hoping if I comment enough times you’ll make it 🤪
I got that already fam!! Check my channel :)
I saw it but would be cool if you made another tutorial where you make one with this machine … just a suggestion great content dude
yooo man can u make pattern unfinished hoodie?, thank you.
Great video. It only has 46 needles? My pattern calls for 96 cast on stitches. How does that work? It looks like the hats it makes are very loose and not very snug.

I would not use any bigger yarn than a size 4 though as chunkier yarn tends to be too thick for the machine to push the stitches off and you end up knitting two together or dropping stitches entirely.
you can actually manually wind a hank of yarn into a ball you just need a toilet paper roll or some similar cylindrical object and a chair.
Goat 🐐
someone get this guy an embroidery machine he needs one
FTA for the Algo
How much yarn is required for the large blue hat?
Could you do a balaclava with that machine
Great tutorial. 👍🌺🌴🏵🌿🌹☘🌷🍀🌻
What yarn did you use in that brown one

Need a US link
can i make a suggestion, get an umbrela swift and a ball winder, it will make it easer to cake up your balls so you dont have to get someone else to do it and you can still buy pretty yarn

Wait till you order the automatic adapter on Amazon that you use with a drill gun
125. 50, 50, 25 for beanie
Let's make balaclava ski mask on this machine!
Please send me knitting machine buying link ❤
Hi, im your subscriber from Indonesia. Thank you for all your videos, it really helped me.
May i know what overlock machine and table did you use?
Thank you b4.
Is there any way you could make a reversible beanie? 🤔 I’m so curious
It is reversible ☺️
if you want 2 colors, just divide your total rows by half, then switch colors at that interval perhaps with a darker color between two contrasting colors like black separation for 5-10 rows for a grey/tan reversible.

Do you mean two different colors?

Nice video but the captions go so fast you can’t read it all before the next caption comes up.
Update: response received issue mutually resolved
So you’re saying not to use a hank of yarn but yet you’re using a hank. 😂
Bro I don't know how to download your pdf pattern I can't find no download option on you site😅🙂
Btw this is not a new machine my grandma has used it when she was young
that's what I was thinking. What's old is new again.....
Something ain't right, I did 150 rows and my beanie looks like a stocking! I did a total of 146 rows because i was short on yarn, what happened-
So would did it look like those cute long hats?
please show us how to make a thiCC bunny beanie, pleaseeee 🙏
Hello Allen I have made several inquires on an order I placed with you but have not yet received a response on where is my shipment. I enjoy your videos but the customer service is lacking big time …if no one responds with an update I will request and pursue a refund
please make a cake with your skein before using it 🙏😱
Send your "yarn barf" to me, and I will untangle it, and wind it, and send it back to you!
Yeeeeee. Watching him pull directly from the hank was physically painful to watch. 😖
It's just a cheap Addi Machine

No way that’s fingering yarn. Based on the gap size between stitches, it has to be at least DK
i hate wearing beanies.
