FYGAIN SENTRO Knitting Machine 40 Needles, Automatic Circular Knitting Crochet Machine for Kids/Adults

This was a Christmas gift and I am happy with it. My daughter loves it and she started a business with it! Machine makes good quality Bennies and it is super easy to work with. Quality is not bad, all plastic, some parts feel delicate so be careful. I bought a piece of wood for more stability because it moves a lot when using it. Sometimes it gets messy so it requires a learning process but not too hard. It has a counter to know how many you have done, a regular hat is around 130-140 spins. For the money, is good enough. Enjoy seeing my daughter using it instead of watching tv..

you need to be patient with this machine, its very finnicky. once you figure out how to use it it goes smoothly. i had to file down a few bumps on the bottom edges of the parts the yarn slides off of because yarn kept catching but otherwise its been all good.

This machine will hardly go around without stopping cranking. It’s hard to hold it still and is unstable when trying to use; there is no way to clamp it down. I’ve had it for eight months and have not been able to complete a single item, not even more than a few rounds. It is junk, IMO.

I just got this size to make ear warmers, headbands, smaller wear. I’m giving it 4 stars because it has no row counter and that is an important element to using the machine. I purchased a digital counter separately. I also had to fuss a lot with working out using Velcro, how to steady the machine while in use. Have made several items that turned out nicely in the past couple days. Machine itself works well.

It works nice made some cute things with it. But the 3 complaints I have knowing how well the Sentro 48 pin I have works well are: 1. No row counter - so projects like this big bow headband that has 160 rows means I have to sit there and count every time I see the black pin. 2. The crank seems to slip frequently no matter how slowly I turn it. - I’m afraid this will lead to it breaking sooner. 3. No suction cup feet to hold it in place - I have to put my arm through it to secure it in place so that it doesn’t move while I’m cranking it. Overall, I’m glad that I got it because I can make some projects have been wanting to make. Would I purchase it again? I’m honestly not sure because I’m so afraid it’s not going to last more than a few projects. So far, it works. But the quality is way less than I expected already being a sentro 48 pin owner.

This machine is very good for beginners and starting a business ,the instructions are nit as better as the YouTube tutorials so I do recommend watching YouTube for tutorials or instructions. Another recommendation is that size 40 isn’t big enough for adult heads it fits my teen’s head and my newborn’s head but won’t fit mine so I recommend to go ahead and buy 48 stitches so you can make any size with it. And another thing I did have to refund this items because my whole machine was shattered into pieces and it took 2 days for another one to come but other than that this is a very good product and it’s very easy too use,and if your thinking of buying pls too it’s a life changer I won’t be using a crochet hook in a while. Happy turning!!!

I always look at the reviews before buying a product and almost didn't buy this because of the reviews BUT I am glad I did purchase this product! Everything was well packaged, clean, nothing was broken and it was easy to assemble. It is hard to read the instructions on how to cast the yarn onto the machine so I went to Youtube and found hundreds of videos on how to use this machine and now I'm about to finish my 3rd scarf after only having this machine 12 hours. Suggestions for possible future users of this knitting machine...Don't crank the machine at a 1000 mph!! The faster you crank the handle the more mistakes will happen like missing stitches and the yarn getting caught on the backside of the peg between the needles. Make sure the tension is correct for the thickness of yarn you are using...thick yarn = loosest tension, medium thickness = medium tension, thin thickness = tightest tension. If you take your time, work at a medium pace cranking the handle, you will produce a very nice panel or tube. Definitely a good product for the price!!

Pros: -affordable -suction cups included make a huge difference -smooth, both in how the machine works and also the needles. It doesn’t snag the yarn when in use -yarn included -I like this one more than the Loops and Threads machine I got at Michael’s! It’s quieter and smoother. I had to glue suction cups on the last machine I had, and continually had to reglue them on, as the wiggling of the machine would loosed the glue from the suction cups. Great design! Cons: -it is all plastic, so obviously it’s not going to hold up as long as a fancy one like an Addi. But this size is perfect for headbands, and Addi doesn’t make a 40 needle knitting machine -the darning needle included doesn’t fit in between the spaces well, when picking up your cast off row. I have one from my last machine (Loops and Threads) and it fits much better. -this had clearly been a return, which made me cautious about whether it would work or not. The box was dinged up, the bags were ripped, and 1 screw was missing, that’s used to make the legs more securely attached. Not necessary, but they do help.

I love using this machine for a quick knit.

Funcionando perfeitamente. Ótima aquisição. Superou minhas expectativas. Recomendo.😀

Minha maquina não veio com o contador de carreiras. Tenho visto no YouTube que tem maquinas com o contador de carreiras 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

I love teasing this hot to make hats within 5 minutes that normally take me a few hours this hat maker is great and easy to use my child can help me with it not complicated at all aside from the instructions are not in English.

You need to use #4 yarn like Double knitting size yarn. It works well if you go evenly turning the crank and are patient. I've made 200 toques with this machine. Also if you want machine to not clank, silicone oil/grease spray in holes to gears helps it works more smoothly
