For children: jacket, poncho, hooded coat, sweater & baby's romper.  Also included are several pillows, blankets, bags & scarves.  It's a nice variety of patterns to start with.  Good luck.

Accepted Answer

The patterns are very old fashioned and use eyelash yarn

Question 3

Will this one do adult hats??

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will make adult hats (I use 140 rows for a double-layer hat; 70 for a single-layer). I just recently discovered that it will also make children's hats! I knit 70 rows total (35 rows in each of two colors), cinched one end, pulled it through the other, cinched that, folded the brim and put a pom pom at the top. I made two of them yesterday, as an experiment, and it was wonderful. The machine IS fiddly about what yarn it likes - so far I found that Lion Brand Wool-Ease and James C. Brett's Chunky Marble work very well, so Worsted or DK, is my guess. The thinner yarns make a very airy fabric, so if that's what you're going for, you'll like the fingering yarn, though it will not make a very warm hat.

You should watch the knitting so that a stitch isn't dropped, but you can still turn the crank at a pretty steady pace; however, I personally would not recommend motorizing the machine. If I can figure out how to attach them, I'll post photos of the hats I've made so far - I think I've made nine of them. I'm on Ravelry (VikkiRay), if you want to see them.   I have not yet made a flat panel - that's next on my to-do list.
