CARRIAGE STITCH COUNT SET TO 3.5!
In this video I'll show you how to knit a beanie size (58-62cm) with LK150 knitting machine.
You'll need:
-half a skein of PURE ALPACA (Cascade Yarns)
-LK150
-auto tension set to 3
-carriage stitch count set to 3.5
If you are using other yarn, your knitting gauge should be 24st*32r in 10cm*10cm

Cast on 110 open end stitches, knit 24 rows, make a fold, knit 36 rows, divide your knitting with markers: 1;1;25;2;25;2;25;2;25;1;1. Start decreasing every 2nd row among the 2s and 1s on the sides until 22 stitches left. Decrease every second stitch, knit 1 row, 11 stitches left, go through all 11stitches with yarn end using needle. Sew your beanie sides together with mattress stitch.

Size 54-68cm:
Cast on 102 stitches
Divide your knitting with markers: 1;1;23;2;23;2;23;2;23;1;1

This is great instruction, so great I will use it for my “maiden voyage” on my shiny new LK—150, still in the box! Hoping for more from this wonderful teacher. Thank you so much.

Hello, I bought a Singer 321 and I could not get it to work. I then bought a LK150 and had the same problems - dropped stitches!! Looked everywhere for the cause and somewhere , can't remember where, but you showed the little KNOB on the yarn tensioner. You can't see this when you are sitting down! Only when you stand up and look down on it. Yarn has to go inside that knob Just as you showed a 2:38, did that and NO MORE PROBLEMS with either of the machines! Woopee! Thanks lots for your video. Regards, JennyB.

What an amazing tutorial! You have made my day. I’ve inherited a vintage knitting machine from a friend’s mother and it is a very different machine but still your thorough tutorial helped me understand the machine knitting process much better, the little details that you teach make all the difference for a beginner. Hurray! Thank you so very much!! Wishing you a wonderful day ❤

Where can we get those large transfer tools?

@arlisarohloff2622 5 years ago

Where did you get a ten needle transfer tool!? I’ve had my machine for 18 years and have not seen one so large. I’ve made so many garments, hats, scarves & Afghans on my machine. Thanks for your video. Your presentation was on point.

Oh my goodness! This video is the best knitting machine tutorial that I've seen on youtube so far. I just got my machine today and (frustrated) haven't accomplished anything besides swatches where most ended with dropped stitches. This video has motivated me to try again tomorrow. Thank you so much! You are needed here. Please keep making more videos 😊.

Such a great video - can wait to try this. Where did you get your transfer tools? I can’t find anything over 3 prong for a 6.5mm machine.

I recently received my LK150. You have done a wonderful step by step demonstration. I would like to know where to get the transfer tools. Thank you, again

@hilarysahota247 6 years ago

Hi I love this video. Where did you get your 5 and 6 prong transfer tools? I cannot seem to find any to fit this machine, the most I have is a 3 prong tool. Thank you for any advice.
