Circular Knitting Machine

More information about the circular knitting machine

• Very useful for knitting hats, scarves, blankets, socks, skirts and much more.
• Knitting and weaving mill with 40 needles. The spindles are numbered if you wish to keep track of the stitches.
• It has 4 legs with suction cups to place it on flat surfaces so that it does not move while using it.
• Includes a simple switch to swap between:
  
  • Tubular knitting (T): You need to turn the handle clockwise in a circular motion.
  • Plain knitting (P): Turn the handle counterclockwise until it stops. When you hear a crack and can’t crank, go back the other way.
• Tension gauge with 3 holes to thread the yarn so that it is more or less taut:
  • Pass it through the first and smallest hole to get a loose grip.
  • If you want it tighter, use the 2 first holes.
  • Get it through the 3 holes to achieve the tightest grip.
• Comes unassembled. You only have to place the legs with the screws (included) and add the suction cups so that it does not move.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

TUBULAR SETTING (T)

• Select this mode by turning the switch upwards (T).
• Crank the mill until you reach the black peg, the starting point.
• Begin by leaving the thread loose. To do so, insert it through the smallest hole of the tension gauge. Then cast the end of the yarn in the pink holder. Make sure it is completely tucked in.
• Thread it through the hook of the black needle. Go in under the first peg and then around behind the next peg as you crack the mill.
• If done correctly, the yarn should pass behind the last peg.

PANEL SETTING (P)

• Select the panel mode by turning down the switch (P).
• Crank the mill until you reach the black needle, the starting point.
• Begin by leaving the thread loose. To do so, insert it through the smallest hole of the tension gauge. Then place the end of the thread in the pink holder. Make sure it is completely tucked in.
• Turn the crank clockwise. When the thread reaches half the circle, it will stop, and you will have to crank counterclockwise. Repeat until the garment is knitted.
• Thread it through the hook of the black needle. Go in under the first peg and then around behind the next peg as you crack the mill.
• If done correctly, the yarn should pass behind the last peg.

HOW TO REMOVE THE KNITTING FROM THE LOOM

• Cut the yarn leaving a 30 cm tail.
• Hold the yarn vertically and gently crank the machine clockwise so that the mill turns slowly. The fabric will gradually separate from the needles^(*)
• Remove the fabric by holding it at the bottom so that it does not get deformed.
• Thread the tail of the yarn through the needle’s eyelet.
• Go in and pick up the stitches off of your machine.
• Make a loop and thread the yarn through the eye of the loop to make a knot. Cut it off, leaving a 20 cm margin.

^(*) If the yarn does not separate smoothly from the needles, use the included knitting needle to help you pull it out of the machine.
