6.1 Selecting Knitting Mode

The SENTRO Knitting Machine offers two primary knitting modes:

Illustration of the two knitting modes: 'T Gear' for tubular (loop) knit, suitable for hats and gloves, and 'P Gear' for plain (flat) knit, suitable for scarves and bags. The mode switch is clearly shown.

• T Gear (Tubular/Round Knit): Use this mode for creating seamless, circular items such as hats, gloves, socks, and doll clothing. Slide the mode switch to 'T'.
• P Gear (Plain/Flat Knit): Use this mode for creating flat panels, ideal for scarves, blankets, and sweaters. Slide the mode switch to 'P'.

6.2 Threading the Yarn

1. Ensure the mode switch is set to your desired knitting mode.
2. Feed the yarn from the spool through the yarn guide.
3. Thread the yarn through the tensioner.
4. Initial Threading (First Round): Turn the crank slowly. Guide the yarn into every other needle hook for the first full rotation. After the first rotation, ensure the yarn is caught by all needles. This step is crucial for proper stitch formation.
5. Continue turning the crank to begin knitting.

6.3 Adjusting Yarn Tension

The tensioner controls how tightly the yarn is fed into the needles, affecting the density and appearance of your knit. Experiment with different settings based on your yarn type and desired outcome.

Visual guide demonstrating the three yarn tension settings: Loose, Moderate, and Tight, and how they affect the yarn's passage through the tensioner.

• Leupas: For thicker yarns or a looser, more drapey fabric.
• Sedeng: A balanced tension suitable for most standard yarns and projects.
• Ketang: For thinner yarns or a denser, more structured fabric.

6.4 Knitting Process

Once the yarn is threaded and the mode is selected, simply turn the crank handle clockwise (or counter-clockwise, depending on the model and desired direction) to begin knitting. Maintain a steady, even pace. Observe the needles to ensure stitches are forming correctly and no yarn is snagging.

6.5 Casting Off

When your project reaches the desired length, you will need to cast off the stitches to remove the item from the machine. Refer to the detailed casting off instructions in the separate quick start guide or online tutorials for specific techniques.
