Thank you so much my friends!

I made my first one today. It turned out to be so adorable I wanted to keep it. So, I guess I will be making many more of them for my grands and great grands. Thank you Shelley for getting me started on this amazing journey with my Addi/Sentro machines and yarn. I watch your videos daily and follow along.
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for being a part of my channel community!! ❤️
Wanted to add a comment here as well - I've had several friends/family members over the last couple years have babies and I've made each of them one of these and always get compliments from the kiddos/parents. It becomes their favorite toy and it's so unique and cute, I adore it! I especially love using an ombre color yarn on it. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials, you're an excellent teacher!
@@NinjaSparrow13 Thank you for sharing! I will now be sure to try ombré yarn! If you have pictures you should consider posting in my Facebook group. I’d love to see.
Double layer for the head is an amazing idea! I can’t wait to make one!
Thank you my friend! 😊
Brilliant idea of having a double layer for the head so the stuffing doesn't peek through. Thank you for sharing your video!
Thank you and your welcome 💕
I enjoy all of your tutorials! Thank you for continue to make them. You calm tone of voice and great explanations are just what I have needed as a beginner. ❤
I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Hi Shelly, I had to do the drawstring totally different than in your tutorial because I was constantly dropping stitches when I switched back to the main yarn and not sure why that was happening. After 7 tries, I just added the drawstring with the main yarn for one round. It's probably not the best way to do it, but it worked.
Thank you.. I am patientlu waiting for my sentro 48 and 22 to arrive! Im a crocheter but can knit slowly. This is a game changer !
I love this bears. I don't crochet the mouth. I make the same as an ear but without fold. Looks more realistic 🥰
What a fascinating tutorial! I absolutely added this to my to do list … but I’ll have to get a 22 needle machine first. Thank you for sharing/teaching! I love the way you did the head!!!❤
Thank you so much!

I’ve made lots of toys and never liked the stuffing showing, never thought to do a double layer, thank you for this fab tip. Love the bear and plan on making loads for my grandchildren ❤
I enjoy ALL your Tutorials.
marking the peg black is a great idea! So simple but so helpful and I have not thought of that myself or seen anyone else suggest it, good on you and thank you for sharing!

I use bright pink nail polish to mark my 1st needle. it definitely stands out.
Just couldn't believe your gorgeous Cuddle Koala. I have now a 44 & 22 knitting machine.
Can't wait to make these. Having Hip surgery on 14th August 2024. Hopefully I will feel up to doing these lovely hungers. 🐨🦘🖖
@@louisehup4192 all the best with your surgery. I hope you have a speedy recovery!
I love that you are so sharing in your videos and the items that you make😊
Thank you my friend! 🥰
Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials Shelly, I have just had my first order for one of these, and I am watching your video as I make it. You are helping me build my business. You are wonderful.💗
I am so glad to have been of help. All the best in your business.

Thank you.lovely clear instructions😊
You are very welcome 🥰
I attempted a bear lovey with another wonderful video. Now I am going to make yours for the older grandson!! Thanks
Mine is a bit different. Have fun.
I do like them ❤ I'll try to make one soon 😊 Many thanks for all the explanations 🎉
My pleasure 🥰
I’m making my second one! I love this pattern
Thank you my friend!
i cant wait to order my sentro, been crocheting and such for about 20 years now and this looks 10x faster and easier, also look into a ripcord row something i learned from another creator as im doing research on projects.
Thank you for the suggestion. Have fun!
Thank you so much for showing me how to make these beautiful items on your page. I have a new grand baby and I’m so excited to use my new Sentra Knitting Machine. ❤
Your very welcome! 🙂
Thank you for another wonderful pattern
Thank you Shelley, I'm now living in the UK a transplant from down under. Can't wait to do these for my grandies. Great video... again!
It’s crazy to me that my videos are being seen by people all around the world! How fun!

All I can say is that is super cute.
Thank you 🙂
I can't wait for my machine to arrive! The cuddle bear is so cute, When casting on or castingoff I will use a row of nylon thread, as I used in the flat bed machine I had, as a row in between the main yarn and scrap yarn. This makes it so much easier to remve the scrap yarn as the nylon thread pulls out very easily. Best to pick up the stitches first though!
Nylon may not work in the machine but great idea! 🥰
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet It is a special nylon yarn made for use on a flat bed knitting machine if using waste yarn. It is flexible as any yarn, not inflexible as, say, fishing line. It works well. I need to buy some more now as I can't find the card with the longer length on it. It is a pity we can't post photos here otherwise I could show you what it looks like. I use it for my knitted toe up socks and what a sanity saver it is!
I actually think I know what you mean. I was recently gifted 3 flat he’d machines and every accessory you can think of as well as buckets of cones of yarn. I have replaced the sponge bar in only one so far but have the bars for the other two as well. I tried and tried to cast on and it’s a mess. I tried that line that I think your talking about and it snapped so I’m guessing it’s had it’s day.
One day when I have a bit more time I will figure out the flat bed machines.
I do have a FB group that you can post in.

@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet I would rather have had a flat bed machine than the Addi, I used to have two, but finance and space dictate these days.
I love my Addi as well. But I wish I could figure out the flat bed. There is a real learning curve but I will get it in time.
I am new at circular knitting so I have been viewing a large amount of videos. I want you to know that I appreciate and am going to try my first project with your video. It is so easy to follow and has great tips. thank you. Thank you. I will be looking forward to viewing more machine knitting projects that you make. Love your Koala bear♥️♥️🥰
You are so sweet! Thank you so much!!
Your gonna love your machine. 💗
Just watched your video, and I just wanted you to know that I absolutely loved it. I have been learning to crochet (very much a beginner) and I saw these machines that people were using to make hats, but my goal was to make the little bears, rabbits, etc. for children. I started doing research on it and I ran into this video you did and absolutely 💯 loved it. Very easy to follow and this old woman appreciates it so much.😊
@@caseycampbell8447 Casey you accidentally commented under my comment. And not directly to koala knits video.
@waltons-crochet I'm so sorry. Thanks for letting me know.
I don’t have a knitting machine, but I love watching these videos. I used to belong to a quilt guild and we made stuffed animals and we started out with bears until someone discovered that they could make good bunny rabbits too. Could you use your smaller machine to make long, bunny ears? It would just give you a little bit of variety.
You absolutely could.
Check out my FB channel. A few ladies have done it.
Here’s a link to my FB group. I’d love to have you join if you haven’t done so already.

Just a suggestive hint maybe put a piece of tape or a square of tape where your camera is focused on, so you won't go off camera, hope this helps. love your work.💖💖
That’s a fantastic idea! Thank you. I’m an amateur photographer no doubt! Lol
Excellent instructions
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for this little gem! Just made my first bear. Very happy. I did the nose on the small sentro. It's thicker than yours but I like it gives it depth.
I wish I could see it. I’m so glad you made one. 🥰🧸
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet I can't figure out how to post it.
You can’t post it here. 😭
I’m “thinking” about creating a FB group so people can post the work they make from my tutorials but there are already a few big groups on FB. Not sure another is needed.
I can't wait to make one for my toddler!❤
So fun to make! Show us in my FB group. I’d love to see.
Love your projects thank you
I love it! Thank so much 🥰
Brilliant.Really need this.
Thank you! They are fun to make. 😊
They are so cute.

Thank you so much for your video. ❤
🥰
Love that
Thank you 😊
I use my 22 to do the nose too. I do six rows, cinch both ends and it makes a circle.
Wonderful! 😊
If I dont have a 22 pin can I use the 48 pin and make a panel and then sew to make a tube? I haven't bought anything yet but Im hooked by just watching. Asked for one for Christmas but I cant wait. Lol
You can make a panel over 22 needles and sew it together, yes. It’s more work but definitely doable. 🙂
Gratidão!!! Amei!🙏😘😊
Thank you!

Hi Shelley,I just watched the video. Are both the arms and ears made on the 22 pin? I heard you say it for the arms, but not the ears. Thanks!
Yes they are.
I am going to try and make this for my granddaughter..lol but I only have a 48 sentro....now since this was a Christmas gift from my sons....I am going to push it and ask for another machine as well for smaller projects to makes these adorable bears etc? well if I can wing it will see if two more will fit into their budget!!!🤣😂 I just don't want them to disown their mother after this!!! which pin should you suggest? lol
I will always suggest the Addi 22 needle but if that is too much the 22 needle Sentro is better than none.
ty Shelley☺@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet
Do you every use Sock 🧦 Weights to avoid making Skip Stitches? I think I will make some out of thrift store forks 🍴 and marble weights. I will try it out. Thank you so much for you Tutorials. They benefited The Womens Clinics. God Bless YOU. 😊❤
I have claw weights. I now just buy yarn that I know works better in the machine. Haha!
Why put a head in a head? You could use a round price of fabric and draw string stitch to make the inner head. Just a thought.
These are beautiful.
I do a double head because I do not like to see stuffing through the stitches. By using the yarn as the second head, I also use the same color so you don’t see it through.
I like the way you explain the face
Thank you😊
Love these bears. Made one and it turned out great. You mentioned you have sold them. Do you sell anywhere online
No I don’t. Sorry! Glad you like the pattern ❤️
Hi Shelly,
I only have the 48 Sentro so I cannot make the ears and arms. Is it possible to do just panels on this larger machine and then make them into tubes? If it is, would it be possible to ask you to do a video on what to do as I have only just got my Sentro and do not have the expertise yet to work it out myself. Many thanks in advance if you can do this.
I have a video on how to make panels. follow that and just do the amount of rows the pattern calls for. Once of the machine then seam up the side and continue on.
If you can get a 22 needle machine, the Sentro is not that expensive, that will be a game changer for your knitting experience.
What size crochet hook did you use. Looking forward to having a go
I’m sure I used a 5mm. Did I not mention it in the video ? Sorry.
I also have a video just to make the nose part.
Great Teddy on the Addi machine
I tried seeing if you had any others but it said your channel has no content?
Not sure why it would say that.
Here is the link. Click on it then click on videos.

Can the cuddle bear be made with a 22 peg Addi only?
@@user-tp3if8lv3p you would have to make more than one tube and sew them together. I do not have a pattern for that. Sorry. I do have a small cuddle bunny on my channel and you could use that pattern and make a bear. It’s much smaller.
Love ur videos. Can u tell me is the Kraft smart yarn worsted weight ot DK.
Does worsted weight work on the Addi. thank you in advance
Thank you! ❤️It is worsted weight
What is good yarn brand to use. I did buy red heart.
Red heart isn’t great in the machine. You need to use a softer yarn. I can’t name them all here but I tell you in each video what yarn I use. Heartland and Bernat “Premium” are my favorites.
How do you determine what to charge for various projects
Honestly, just what I think it’s worth. I don’t factor in $/hr or 3 x the cost of yarn or anything like that. Just what I think it should be.
I love this do you have a elephant one thanks❤
Thank you. I do not “yet” have one. 🥰
Morning can you help me I'm a new person to Abbey knitting machine would like to know the wool is it kd or aran Thanks
L
I would say it is Aran. Medium 4 weight.
I’m new to this I have a question on the yarn I found the make of yarn but can you tell me is it baby or double knit I’m in uk I only have sentro so I know that some yarns won’t work
It’s 4 weight. Not baby yarn
You can make it with baby yarn though. It would just turn out a bit smaller.
Thank you for replying I looked on Amazon but in the uk 4 weight is not something that comes up it said available in baby chunky double knitting and 3 ply it’s confusing to me new terminology but thanks for pointing out the difference it would make just don’t want to buy wool that’s not suitable to run in machine
I’m thinking that double knit is the same as 4 weight.
Hi can you help I can do the body and head on the machine but I don't have a 22 st so could I do the ears and arms on the loom I have to re duce the rows of stiches as the wool is thicker for a loom Pam
For sure you could. Just experiment with the number of rows needed. It will be perfect.
I'm sure you probably said what size a yarn do you use on your machine
This is 4 weight yarn. 😊
Can you make these on a 48 pin ?
The body and head -yes
Wie macht man die Ohren und die Beine? Wieviele maschen und wieviele Reihen?
@@ingedose937 I do not post row counts. Sorry. If you look at the description under the video and scroll down then you will see a transcript. That will give you the answers.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet leider kann ich dort auch nicht erkennen oder lesen. Aber macht nichts. Werde die Teddys nach einem anderen Video stricken.
@@ingedose937 I had my German friend translate for me. Perhaps whoever is translating my English for you can help out. I am sorry. If I post them here it is the same as the transcript.
I try my best to make it as easy to follow as possible. Have a great day!
What size crochet hook did you use for the circle?
5mm
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet thank you very much. Going to makes one soon
Can you do them on a 48 sentro
The main body, yes. The arms and ears would have to be done differently. Crochet is an option if you don’t have a 22 needle.
Can you tell me what the name of the needles are please
Metal wool needles. Amazon or Walmart
Do you have a foot pedal for your machine?
Lol, no. All hand cranked.
What crochet hook did you use
Did I not mention it ? I’d have to watch the video again to remember but I would think a 5mm. That’s my go to.
What size crochet hook do you use to make the face circle? Thanks so much!
5 or 5.5 mm. Either works. Can’t remember which I used but it’s in the video.
could you make this with a 48 pin machine?
Absolutely
I don’t have the 22 needle machine. Is there a pattern for the ears and arms?
I do not have a pattern for them using the larger machine. You would just have to crochet them and add them. I don’t have a specific pattern. Sorry.
Why not put stuffing in the arms and legs?
You could if you want to but I like them softer.
How did you finish the black knot?
The black knot? Do you mean when I tie off the ends ? I just pull the ends in and hide it in the head.
Love this, it I wish when you say you are doing a long tail cast on you would actually do one. Check out "yay for yarn" to find out how!!! Instructions for projects should be correct!
I believe you have corrected me on this once already and I can’t go back and change the videos already done. I have since changed my vocabulary.
I’m not a professional. I’m just doing the best I know how.
Do you have a written recipe for the Bears
No I don’t. But if you go to the description below the video and scroll down there is a transcript.
Where can i find a dino lovey?? 😊
I am not sure. I haven’t seen one.
I have plans to make a few different ones in the future. Maybe I will add a Dino! 😀
I can not make the crochet nose. How many rows on the Addi 22? I have tried 8 and still too big
I have not made a nose on the Addi 22. Sorry. You can do the nose without the circle under it.
Me encanta tu canal pero lastima que no se tu idioma
How many rows for the ears?
It’s all in the video.
Thanks for watching.
How many rows to start the koala please
Please watch the video. It’s all there. Thank you. 🙂
Can you make a pattern for a baby bear on the 22 ?
I will work on one. ❤️
Thank you. Can you post a PayPal where I can make a donation to you for all your great projects ❤❤
You are so sweet and I thank you for your kindness 🥰❤️ but I do not want anything. I find great joy in doing this and in having such a great community of people that follow my channel and share in the great community that is being established through my FB group.
Tina……THANK YOU! 😍
What are the needles called?
I think metal wool needles.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet found them! Thanks 😊
Is anybody ever done this on a 48? Does it make it really big?
I haven’t but I am sure you can. Do it the exact same way.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet I just did this on the 48 and its just fine :0)
Excellent! It’s only two extra stitches. I knew it would work. Why don’t you post it in my new FB group and show us ?

It’s all in the video my friend
I cannot make their noses look right to save my life... Looks like trash when I try 🤦
Start from the bottom tip and make your V then fill it in. Don’t make it too wide.
Post it in the group and then I can see what you have.
facebook.com/groups/899664008062522/?ref=share_group_link&exp=9594
Yep, I agree the nose doesn’t look right because it is totally the wrong shape. Koalas have large oblong shaped noses.
Yes they do. This one’s unique! Lol
