Knitting machines and accessories for hats and scarves

Knitting machines for even stitches in less time

With a knitting machine, stitches form much faster than with needles, and the fabric looks very even. That pays off especially when you need several identical pieces, such as hats, scarves, cowls or wrist warmers for a bazaar or as gifts. Besides the machines, you'll find matching accessories and spare parts here.

Circular knitting machine or flat knitting aid?

A circular knitting machine knits in rounds and creates a tube. It works directly for hats and cowls; for a scarf, you lay the tube flat and get a double-layer piece that is smooth on both sides. A flat knitting aid, on the other hand, creates open, flat pieces. With every machine, the right yarn matters: check the yarn weight the manufacturer specifies for the model, because yarn that is too thick snags easily and yarn that is too thin gives a loose fabric. When buying spare parts, check carefully which model they are meant for.

Tip: Start with a simple single-color tube and a smooth, not too fluffy yarn in the recommended weight. Only once that runs reliably should you try color changes or patterns.
