You are such a master instructor Bas. I love your tutorials so much I now have a passap and a Knitax. I have knit on Japanese machines for many years but this is so much fun 🤩
Hoyy Bas. I really like your video, and I learn all the time about 'our' knitting machine ;-) I don¨t have a ribber, so I have to use the 'fake' ribbing, but what size do you use? my guess is about a 46.....
Fake ribbing also yields a beautiful result 👍🏻 And yes, I am knitting size 46/47 in the video. I am a tall guy with big feet so a lot of rows to knit 🤣
Sadly I do not have a double bed machine. I only have a brother 891 .. otherwise I would try your instruction for sure =D really good video, thanks anyways!!
Good tutorial! I didn't know the wrap wasn't needed when short rowing back out. The only sock tutorial I had previously found for this machine was ruclips.net/video/9P4hc4oKWHk/видео.html&ab_channel=ViviCrafts
Thank you very much. There are many ways to knit socks on this machine. This is just my preferred method. You can also wrap short rowing out. Or not wrap short rowing in, but only wrap short rowing out. Or don't wrap at all. All yield different results 😀
Thank you so much! The sweater I am wearing is based on the famous Norwegian Marius sweater. But I tweaked the design to make it easier to knit on a knitting machine. It was a lot of fun to knit 😀
I have a Brother machine from the mid-80s but haven't used it in years. i had no idea you could seam as you go. The seams looks very good. What kind of seam do you use to close up the back? This looks way faster than knitting socks by hand, although it isn't as portable. :)
Haha true, it is not as portable as hand knitting 🤣 But a lot of fun! For the back seam I use the common mattress stitch, nothing special. The seam has a little bulk, but is hardly noticeable when done in the ribbing. Time to start using your mid-80s brother again maybe??? 😀
True but there are lots of videos around about how to hand manipulate ribbing and it wasn't necessary for this video. It really would be better as a video all its own
Thank you, happy you like them! And a checkered pattern is very doable on this machine. I have a lot of other video's planned for my channel, but I will definitely keep it in mind, thank you! 😀
I have two of these machines, actually slightly older I think as they are the Knitking 4500 series, not the M1, and 1 ribber. they are great in that they don't need clamps or weights so a lot more portable that the newer machines. only thing that worries me about using them is if I break a needle or sinker as replacement parts are impossible to find (unless you find and buy a whole new machine of course) is there a link to the pattern you used. I think I already have one but..... can we have too many patterns? LOL
You are right. The only thing to do is buy another machine for spare parts. But when you use your machine with love, they hardly ever break. I hope it all works out for your! 😀
Thank you so much, I am happy to hear that. Yes, this technique also works on other machines as well. That is the great thing about knitting on a simple machine, you get the basics you can use on most other machines too. This technique will work on Brother/Singer/Superba/Bosch/Phildar/White etc. Will not work on the Passap however as that machine uses pushers for short rowing, but I have a different video for knitting socks on that machine 😀
A very interesting video and machine. I found an mid-80s Knit King on Freecycle and love learning about flat bed knitting. Unfortunately, mine has no ribber but that's ok. I would like to see the "sinker" mechanism. How does it work?
Without the ribber you can still knit almost everything. Great machines. I talk about this machine and the sinker mechanism in this video: ruclips.net/video/UnWodotw75A/видео.htmlsi=33JouQPpN0jm9h68
Ja Bas, maar waar vindt je nu nog zo'n vintage handmatige breimachine en hoeveel kosten ze dan? Ik heb wat rondgekeken maar kan zo gauw geen simpele vinden zoals de Knittax...🙁
Soms staan er meerdere tegelijk op marktplaats en soms even niet. Prijs is natuurlijk afhankelijk van hoeveel er op dat moment worden aangeboden. Zal ongeveer tussen de 50 tot 150 euro liggen. Vrienden van mij hebben er begin januari nog een op marktplaats gekocht. En ik zie dat er nu ook eentje op staat (zonder ribber). Zoek op breimachine, 11 januari, Bergambacht. En anders is het geduld hebben, maar ze worden regelmatig aangeboden.
I'm from Korea. I've knitted for a long time, but I got to know the knitting machine these days, and I got to know Zabbez while I was looking for RUclips. Thank you for your easy explanation of knitting socks. I look forward to your many works in the future. But it's a shame that the Knittax knitting machine is not available in Korea.
I'm totally a beginner, I had an idea how it works, but since I don't know the vocabulary of those knitting I didn't know what you were saying, but If I learn the vocabulary about the knitting machine , probably it would more clear to me. and easy to understand what you were saying
Very good instructional video. You are an excellent presenter and your camera work is really good. Your English is so good - I wish I could speak Dutch as well as you speak English. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. 🇨🇦
Hoi Bas, weer een zeer duidelijke video, dankjewel. 👍Ik heb in mijn tijd (jaren '70) veel sokken gebreid op mijn Brother, maar dat was zo ongeveer het enige wat ik er op maakte. Alleen maar heen en weer met die zware slee.... Ik heb de breimachine toen weggedaan. Maar als ik nu naar jou kijk en zoals alles met de hand gaat, dat is veel leuker om te doen. 😄
Wat leuk om te horen! Ja, met de hand op de machine vind ik ook heel erg leuk. Geniet daar echt van. Maar ik heb ook nog andere machines (Brother, Singer, Passap) en sommige zijn automatischer dan andere en sommige sledes ook minder zwaar. Ik vind het allemaal leuk 🤣
I enjoy watching your tutorials, I guess you can apply what you did in this video to any manually operated knitting machine, I only have a bond knitting machine which I enjoy using. Thank you for sharing your video. Cheers from Tasmania!
Thank you so much, and yes, you can apply these techniques to most manually operated knitting machines. The bond machine is a great machine too and you can knit almost everything on it 😀
@@ZabbezOriginal thank you for a reply, I have knitted socks on it, the pattern came with the bond, it didn't turn out as nice as yours though, but I'll revisit the pattern again, however, I'll try your way also. Cheers from Tasmania!
You are such a master instructor Bas. I love your tutorials so much I now have a passap and a Knitax. I have knit on Japanese machines for many years but this is so much fun 🤩
Hahaha thank you so much, great to hear! So if I ever show all my other knitting machines in my video's, you will also buy those 😜🤣
Hi Bas. Nice to meet you 😊
I don’t know why I enjoy your videos so much when I don’t have a knitting machine and can barely even knit with needles
I am really glad you enjoy watching my video's, and somehow this makes me even more happy 🤣

I find your videos very relaxing and I like how you don't overexplain :) thank you
I am very happy to hear that, thank you so much! 😀
There is not any other video on RUclips with better instructions than this and so enjoyable to watch!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
I am very happy to hear that, thank you so much 😀
Muito bom 💕👏👏👏👏👏
excellent instruction!!!
Thank you so much! 😀
Sadly I do not have a double bed machine. I only have a brother 891 .. otherwise I would try your instruction for sure =D really good video, thanks anyways!!
Thank you so much! If I ever have the time, I will try to make a video how to knit socks and ribbing without ribber 👍🏻
Good tutorial! I didn't know the wrap wasn't needed when short rowing back out. The only sock tutorial I had previously found for this machine was

It says a simple basic machine yet it has a ribber which most basic machines don't have
True but there are lots of videos around about how to hand manipulate ribbing and it wasn't necessary for this video. It really would be better as a video all its own
Can you please make a video showing how to do the math to determine number of stitches to cast on as well as number of rows needed?
Thank you, I made a note of it and if I ever have some extra time, I will see what I can do. Hopefully 😀
Great video! The socks look great!
If you ever need an idea for a video demonstrating a checkered pattern has my vote!😅
Thank you, happy you like them! And a checkered pattern is very doable on this machine. I have a lot of other video's planned for my channel, but I will definitely keep it in mind, thank you! 😀
Thank you!
Het is een plezier om naar deze video te kijken, opnieuw een heel duidelijke uitleg !
Dank je wel, ik vind het heel leuk dat m'n video's in de smaak vallen 😀

@@ZabbezOriginal Can I ask you what pattern you use?
Hallo Bos, bedankt voor je video, het is erg duidelijk. En de tip om de voet te naaien/breien is goed. Ik heb ook een Knittax
Dank je wel dat vind ik leuk om te horen. En heel veel plezier op je Knittax! 😀
@@ZabbezOriginal Heb je ook een Knittax Jac?
This is the BEST video I have seen for machine knitting socks! The instructions are very clear. Would this technique work on a modern machine?
Thank you so much, I am happy to hear that. Yes, this technique also works on other machines as well.
