What can I make with 22 pegs?

Hats, scarves, gloves and other small accessories. It is not sized for sweaters or blankets.

Does it need batteries or power?

No. It is fully manual and runs on the hand crank.

Is it good for a beginner?

Yes. The crank and adjustable tension are aimed at beginners, though expect some practice before stitches come out even.

What yarn should I use?

Medium-weight yarn works best. Very thick or fuzzy yarns tend to jam or drop stitches.

How do I keep it from sliding?

Press the suction cups onto a smooth table before cranking.

Is it a good gift for children?

It can be, with adult supervision, since the crank and small pegs need care.

Yes. The included hex steel drill-bit crank adapter lets an electric drill turn the crank in place of your hand, which helps on large batches.

What comes in the box?

The knitting machine, a wire frame, hand needles, a crochet needle and a manual.
