40-Needle Hand Knitting Machine for DIY Hats & Scarves

40-Needle Hand Knitting Machine for DIY Projects

Bring hand knitting into a more efficient, organized workflow with this 40-needle hand knitting machine. Designed for both adults and supervised children, it allows you to create scarves, sweaters, hats, socks and other accessories with consistent stitches and a smooth finish, all while keeping the tactile, hands-on feel of traditional knitting.

Made from sturdy plastic, this manual knitting loom operates without electricity or batteries. The 40 fixed needles are arranged around an inner diameter of approximately 22 cm, providing a stable base for circular and flat knitting. Use the T (tube) mode to knit cylindrical pieces such as hats and leg warmers, or switch to the P (panel) mode to produce flat panels that can be joined into scarves, blankets, and sweater parts. The compact body is easy to place on a table and light enough to move or store between projects.

The set arrives ready for immediate use: you receive the 40-needle knitting machine, three bundles of yarn in assorted colors, an English instruction manual, a crochet hook, and a short needle for finishing and seaming. Clear operating steps help beginners understand yarn feeding, tension, and rotation, while more experienced users can refine stitch patterns and project complexity. The machine's design supports faster output than standard hand knitting while keeping full control in your hands, making it suitable for home crafting, classroom activities, and small-scale custom orders.

FAQ

Q: Is this suitable for complete beginners?
A: Yes. The included English manual explains basic setup, yarn loading, and how to use the T and P modes. Children should use it with adult guidance, especially during the first projects.

Q: What can I make with the 40-needle size?
A: The 40-needle circumference works well for most children's hats, many adult beanies with stretch yarn, scarves (using flat mode), leg warmers, and panels that can be joined into larger garments or blankets.

A: No. This is a fully manual knitting machine. You turn the handle by hand, giving you direct control over speed and stitch formation.
