This machine is an absolutely great tool for making stockinette tubes quickly and easily! I had mixed feelings about whether or not to purchase this thing based on negative reviews I had been reading. I have to say that I am extremely impressed, and it has been worth every dollar spent. They even throw in extra needles in case any break, although I can’t even think how you would break one, they’re that sturdy.The circumference of a finished beanie in Caron – Simply Soft (doubled for warmth) is big enough to fit a child to medium-sized adult head with a little wiggle room. My boyfriend has a large noggin and he can squeeze into one of the hats, but it isn’t very comfortable. A finished tube, laid flat and unstretched, is close to six to eight inches wide, depending on the yarn used.The most important advice I can give you is to choose the RIGHT YARN for the machine. I have used a wide variety of weights and fibers and here is what I think are the best choices:1.

This thing is SOLID. A bit on the pricey side but most things Addi makes, you are getting a quality tool.This knits worsted yarn best, though you can use double strands of a lighter weight yarn. It is a tight and even gauge. I did have issues with some dropped stitches when I was trying the flat panel option, but I will chock this up to newby errors and not paying attention to the yarn. One word of warning on knitting flat panels is that you will need to make the yarn fairly taut when knitting flat panels so that the hook catches the first stitch. I ended up knitting long tubes and steeking the tube into a flat panel. There are a handful of tutorials on youtube on how to do ribbing and decreases, so you can make more tailored clothing (it’s probably more complicated with this than with normal knitting).I plan on using this to make sweaters quickly and after 30-45 minutes of cranking, you can make a panel fairly quickly. My chest measurement is 41” across and kn

This is my 3rd project on the Addi King… Took me about 2 hours for both hat and scarf. I used Caron Simply Soft Yarn. ITS ALL ABOUT THE YARN FOLKS!! This yarn is very easy on the Addi!!

I’ve only had my machine for a few weeks now, and I’m already loving it. This piece has brought me back to a craft which I thought had deserted me and my pained body. I nearly started crying when I finished my first item, no joke. The wear does come in on my shoulders and elbows though. Feels like I’ve been playing tennis. So I can’t knit every day like I did, every few days more like. Circular is super super easy, and I’ve tried everything from lace to bulky, they all do fine. The machine seems to knit at around a US 8 or 9 needle with my very weak hands. Working flat on the machine is harder, and when I get it down will be more rewarding. You certainly have to go slower, be choosier with your yarns, and really pay attention to what’s going on.I would absolutely recommend this machine to anyone in any situation that has caused them to loose hand strength and dexterity needed for hand knitting, who still has the desire (and the stash) to knit as well as a scant

Several reviews gave less stars because they experienced dropped stitches, however, I believe these reviewers may have neglected to read the instructions prior to trying their machines. It takes some practice but, read and follow the instructions carefully; hold the yarn taunt, turn the handle at a moderate speed, carefully watch for potential errors to be able to fix immediately, and DO NOT try to back up. The results will be a perfectly knitted project in a fraction of the time that it takes to hand knit. If you do all this and have repeated problems, you may have received a defective product.

omg this is such a fun thing to have. I knit/crochet hats for charity by hand & wanted something that was really fast & that I could use up some of my enormous stash. I am very impressed. It handles multiple strands at once as well as lone thinner yarns and bulky weights with ease. I’ve been making dozens of the double-thick hats – start to finish a hat in less than 1/2 hr is just amazing to me! Most of mine are primarily small adult/teen sized, but I have had luck making adult sized hats by having very loose working yarn & cranking slowly. The single-thick rolled brim hats are great adult hats as well. I highly recommend this machine if you are in the market for one and/or on the fence about getting one.

I bought this after a lot of reading and research, have tried different yarns with it, found red heart 4 seems to work best…but can use slightly bulkier yarns as long as watching it. 3 weeks and have already broke a black “needle” Thank you tube videos for helping me to figure out how to use this machine and change needles, directions are useless. Would never pay full price as it is all plastic and I can tell that I will need a crank gear replaced soon. Not totally in love with it but it’s ok for what I am using this for. Would I buy again…no. UPDATE purchased in Aug 2018….it’s now Nov 2018. Have had to replace 3 black needles and 1 white, machine jams at random (won’t advance to next needle) bunch up the yarn (even the thin ones) crank gears still sound like they are being stripped and no way to get to them to check if tightened properly, wasting my time removing the yarn due to the bunching problem. Have not made a whole lot with this, so I am VERY disappointed with this overpriced piece of plastic.

I received this knitting machine a couple of weeks ago, and have already knit 60 hats for charity. I did have some minor issues with the digital counter, but only when I tried to crank the handle too quickly. If I kept a reasonable pace and a steady motion, the counter worked perfectly. You’ll need to look up start up and use instructions on YouTube, though. The printed materials are not very helpful.I did notice some tension/gauge difference in the knitted fabric, when adding in a new yarn. Nothing I did really made this issue go away, but I was able to limit the difference by always holding the yarn in the same place (down along the side of my hip) throughout each project.I tested the machine with different kinds and weights of yarn–plied worsted, single-ply worsted, single-ply Aran, and plied sport weight. Worsted and sport, both single-ply and plied, worked great. The machine did not perform as well with the single-ply Aran I used. The machine kept skipping

I’m a maker that sews and crochets; I debated about purchasing this for myself for awhile, not due to financial reasons, but because I wondered if I REALLY needed this thing. I finally did and WOW! The Addi lives up to the hype! Its so fun and easy to use.Side note: if you are first learning to use it and get discouraged due to dropped stitches or other troubleshooting issues, there are plenty of YouTube videos to assist you. The type of yarn you use is important!
