Knitting mill: hat in 15 minutes!

Recently, you can increasingly find interesting devices on the Internet - knitting machines. They can be mechanical or powered from an outlet, but the principle is the same - the ability to quickly connect various products (even in 15 minutes).

Nuances of use

I’ll say right away that you can knit on a machine either with a straight fabric or in the round. Casting on loops is not difficult, everything will become clear from the first row. The quality of the tensioner depends on the brand of the machine. Basically it is weak, so you have to help with your hands.

• Addi-Express Professional. A very simple device. It produces only small products, but therefore the price is low. At the same time, the machine can withstand intense loads. The model is complemented by video and text instructions.

• KAKADU. It's inexpensive and allows you to knit in the round. The price is low, but not everyone is comfortable using the device. This option is more suitable for children. The diameter is small, so the products turn out small, but it is suitable for creating hats and scarves.

How to knit a hat with lightning speed

So, let's look at the process using the example of a cat hat. Either dense threads or 2 threads are taken. Then we act like this:

• a pipe is performed, approximately 90 rows;
• at the beginning and at the end of the loop we close with yarn and a needle;
• then on the top of the cap they embroider, for example, the face of a cat or other animal;
• pieces of wool (hair) are sewn over it; if desired, this point can be omitted;
• then the middle of the pipe is connected from above;
• the edges remain unsewn;
• we sew up the lower part of the pipe and put it into the upper;
• you will get ears.

That's all! The cat hat is ready. And the whole process took just a few minutes. Or you can simply knit a regular hat and then decorate it as you wish. This can be embroidery with a contrasting thread, for example, a cross stitch or a stem stitch.

Beads, buttons, ears, rhinestones and even a veil will also look interesting. And real craftswomen will be able to surprise those around them by creating patterned products. It all depends on your preferences.

Knitting on your own machine may not be very convenient, but it will definitely be fun. And your family and friends should like the result.

The main thing is to take high-quality threads so that you don’t have to constantly adjust them. Then knitting will go like clockwork.
