What can the 22-needle Sentro make?

Tubes for hats, cowls, socks and scarf-length pieces, plus flat panels in plain mode. Simple sweaters are possible as seamed panels rather than shaped knitting.

How does it compare with the 40 and 48 needle Sentro models?

The 22-needle drum makes smaller circumferences and suits medium yarn. The 40 and 48 needle models make wider tubes and work with finer yarn but are bulkier.

What yarn should I use?

Medium-weight worsted or DK yarn works best. Very thin or slippery yarn tends to slip off the needles and drop stitches.

The knitting machine, a detailed user manual, a crochet hook, a hand pin and two yarns.

Supervised use suits older children, since the crank is simple. Small parts and the needle drum need care with young kids.

Do I need to know how to knit?

No. The manual walks through casting on and cranking, and the included hook handles the finishing.

What reviewers say
