You have made a great tutorial Shelley. My wife, Joy, has made 113 beanies on her Addi, 108 of them have been donated to a charity that cares for homeless people. She has been asked by a group of ladies if she could produce10 inch squares. I think your tutorial may be just what we need. Thank you Shelley

I have just started circular knitting on the Addi and find your videos most helpful. Thank you so much for your easy instructions.

This video was very thorough in explaining the end of row problems I was having. Your tips were very helpful!

I agree with Coleen, it was nice that you showed both ways and how to use the stoppers. Can't wait to try 5hem both out!

Great demo & presentation using both methods (to make a flat panel).

Thank you! That was very helpful. My Addi 46 arrived yesterday and I was practicing with a panel and had numerous questions, and wondered how the stoppers worked. Now I can go back and practice more. Thank you!

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I bought my addi several years ago I never managed to knit flat, I just gave it a try and I succeeded thanks to you. Very very big thank you. 👍😁

Thank you so much for this great explanation of how to use an Addi! There were no instructions included so I’ve been scratching my head, trying to figure it out. I really want to press “Like” but your likes are now at 777. Lucky number! Here’s my “like” for you:❤

I have a Sentro machine and I got these stoppers. They’re slightly too big for the Sentro so, I got them to fit by using a thin zip tie on the closed end. This allows them to fit by putting the open end over the inside of the dome (pink parts that are red in the Addi) and then pushing down the closed end on the outer side with a click. The zip tie reduces the extra space. Be careful not to push too hard as you butt up to the stoppers. They can pop off.

Great tutorial!! Takes the fear out of trying a flat panel. Very good and thorough instructions I'm sure will help not only me master this...but many many more! Thank you so much!! 😊

Can't wait to see the new project!

Fantastic video, thank you for sharing with us😘

This was great! I like that you did the two ways. I am making a doll blanket for a doll bed, and I've been thinking of using the flat panel option for that. There is no doubt that I will be playing this again as I start that project! :D

I just got the Addi King Size for my birthday yesterday and your videos are a great learning resource. Thank you!

My dad wanted to buy me a knitting machine, the straight kind. I felt it wasn't "hand made ". Not so!!! Circular or straight knitting machines still require a lot of handwork to be done. So in hindsight I should have said "ok Dad, get me the machine." My Dad is gone now, but when He is resurrected, I'll show him my machines, because I plan on purchasing the straight ones, that way I can make Afghans 😊!
Thank you for your lessons. They are very instructional.

WOW ❤another great easy to understanding tutorial!!! Thank you Shelley. This is next for me to try. I will be replaying this many times, I’m sure. I am having a difficult time with problem yarns.. splitting, dropping and especially tucked stitches. Using your advice on pulling work down as I go helps. Thanks Shelley.

Thank you so much, I got an addi for Christmas and I was finding flat panels so difficult, I am going to try the second method because the yarn kept coming off the needles when I tried the first, I will practice some more.

I just recently found machine knitting. It's very enjoyable, and addictive. I find myself trying to crank my phone, you think. Silly me 😂!

Thanks Shelley, I haven't tried panels yet great explanation
