That Sentro knitting machine, it’s a thing, you know? My neighbor, she got one. Says it can make hats real quick. I seen her use it, round and round it goes. She’s always going on about how many rows for a hat, says it makes things like hats and scarves real fast.
Now, if you wanna know how many rows for a hat, well, it ain’t so simple. She told me it depends on how tight you make it, and what kinda yarn you use. And how big your head is, naturally! Some folks like a brim on their hat, some don’t. More rows if you want a brim, I reckon.
If you want a brim, she said she does like, 140 rows or so. She’s got a big head, though. Says for most folks, somewhere between 130 and 140 rows is good for a hat with a brim. If you just want a plain ol’ hat, no brim, she says maybe around 110. A simple beanie hat, she calls it.
- Big kid hat, she says 108 rows.
- Little kid hat, about 105 rows.
- Baby hat, maybe 100 rows.
- Real tiny baby, like a newborn, she does 60 rows for that.
But you gotta use the right yarn, you see. Not all yarn is the same. This machine, it likes a certain kind. Too thick, and it won’t go through, I guess. Too thin and it ends up loose as a goose.
This Sentro knitting machine, it’s got all these parts. Needles and a crank and a thing to hold the yarn. Looks complicated to me, but she says it’s easy.
