The Sew Easy Knitting Machine, suitable for people 8 years of age and older, uses a hand crank to knit yarn that is threaded properly on hooks. The machine produces knitted tubes for making hats, mittens or legwarmers as well as flat pieces for scarves. NSI International Inc. also provides instructions and patterns to knit dolls and handbags. The company will email illustrated instructions and patterns upon request. In the meantime, prepare your yarn by rolling it into a ball to prevent tangling, then practice threading and knitting tubes and flat pieces.
