Knitting a spencer on the Passap Duomatic 80 knitting machine
Welcome to the World of Zabbez. In this video I show you how I knit a spencer with some stripes. A knitted spencer is also called a slipover, but basically they are knitted sweaters without sleeves. I am knitting this project on my Passap knitting machine. The Passap Duomatic 80 is a true double bed knitting machine that knits both beautiful ribs as jersey fabrics. The video shows my proces step by step and is helpful for both beginner as advanced machine knitters.
Enjoy!

How to knit on a simple knitting machine / Knittax
The quality of your videos is excellent. Every instructions is cristal clear, the images are showing perfectly the techniques. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
I am new using a Passap machine and new to machine knitting . Thank you for this excellent video. It helps understanding the instructions I read today.
you are master in knitting tutorial , thank you
Bravo
Thank you!
Thank you! This was super helpful. I just got Passap Duomatic S and I have serviced it and tried to figure out how it works. I'm still missing the edge springs. They seem to be important to make sure the latches always close on the edges.
Cool, you will have a lot of fun from your Passap machine. And the edge springs are there to make sure the edge stitch knits. Other machines use weights to make sure the edge stitches knit. You can do both.
I have just started knitting with the Knittax automatic. And your videos are great for learning. I would love to see some more videos on the Knittax :)
The Knittax Automatic is very cool! Even better than this machine :-) I have plans for a lot more knitting machine video's and hopefully I will also be able to make some additional for the Knittax in the future if I find the time. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for this video! Can you share how to install that silver bracket (already attached to machine) during the installation of the yarn mast? I have a used Passap and we the bracket that holds the tension masts was removed. In this video and your original unboxing, you did not cover the step where you first attached the bracket that holds the tension mask. Would be very helpful if you’re able to share or add in future updates.
If there ever will be a moment I can easily make it part of a video, I will do it! That part is already pre installed out of the box and should only come off when cleaning or refurbishing the machine. For now, the best advice I can give you, is to ask in Passap Facebook groups. Good luck!
...COULD you do a others similar videos?? You could put it in speed up!!! AGAIN thank you
Many more knitting machine video's are to come in the future!
Thank you thank you thank you from Portugal ❤❤❤
You are very welcome!
Thank you, Baz. I can't wait to have more time to work on my twin-bed Singer, which isn't quite as sophsticated as your Passap, but I think I can work round that. I have managed a couple of basic jumpers, but now want to have a go at some colourwork and fisherman rib. I will be having a go at your scarf and hat set.
Great! The Singer double bed machines are awesome too. I also have them. They are the best of both worlds, perfectly in-between the Passap and the Japanese machines. Have fun! 😀👍🏻
Hello! You explain so clearly. Thank you. And you knitted very beautiful sweaters too.!!!
Thank you so much, it makes me happy to hear that.
У меня было две новые машины Пассп с. Но я с ними не смогла подружится продала. Но недавно попалась за 150 долларов пассап с полный комплект с дэко. Благодоря вашим видео поняла как на ней вязать! Спасибо большое ❤❤❤❤. Если можно видео как сделать черные и оранжевые оттягиватили. Спасибо большое!
Thank you. You will have a lot of fun with your Passap knitting machine!
Great Video! I am inspired to knit something on my machine. Thank you from Canada.
It makes me happy to read that, thank you very much!
Thank you, Bas! Your videos are fantastic to watch with the high quality recording, visuals and sounds. As a brand new machine knitter, helpful to have all the basics together in a single video.
It makes me really happy to read your message, thank you very much!
I am knitting with passap duo sins 1968 The best machine Have a nice christmas and new year 2025 from svitzerland❤️🎄🎄🎄
Thank you so much, the same to you, happy holidays!
Hey Bas, thanks for the videos! I might get my knitting machine out of the basement and start knitting again :-) What program do you use on the pad please?
You are very welcome! Give your knitting machine some love 😀 On the iPad I use ProCreate, but you can use any sketching program for drawing.
Please i'd like to knit a sweat for a 3y old kid, how do i have to manage the work? i see you all the time calculating before knitting, do you consider measurements to determine the stitches amount? and how to adapt measurements taken by hand, to the needles amount to consider on the machine ? im interested in a sweat with separated sleeves so every part should be knitted separately, thank you
I understand, this can be very difficult in the beginning. I will make a video about that in the future. But currently I am already working on some other video’s. I advice you to Google search for test swatches. The number of stitches and rows on your test swatch are recalculated to the number of stitches and rows for your garment. Good luck!
@@ZabbezOriginal Ok i will check about that, thank you so much!
I'm excited about this channel...!!! Are these machines still being built or are they only available on eBay & Co...? I would be very happy to receive a short answer... Best wishes from Germany, Marijama.
Thank you very much Marijama! These knitting machines are not being manufactured any more. They are only available second hand on eBay and second hand websites and stores.
@@ZabbezOriginal ❤ DANKE ❤
First time watching. What an amazing way to work up a piece! Makes me want to pull out my knitting loom and make a hat
Haha it makes me happy to read your message. Give your knitting loom some love! 😀
Bitte auf Deutsch das wäre toll
Please don't stop making us this nice videos😢
Thank you! More video's are on their way.
Bought a machine today and am so excited to find this channel 😂
Be very patient with it, time to learn how to use it, it can take months, i thought more than 5 times about selling mine in the beginning, it was hard to understand the mecanism, but now im glad by my machine, and no buying regret !
I am happy to hear that. I wish you a lot of fun with your knitting machine!
Yes correct, it takes a lot of perseverance! But in the end it will bring a lot of joy! 😀
Me too!! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Hi is your knitting machine 4.5 mm
This Passap knitting machine has a needle spacing of 5mm. I tell all about this knitting machine in this video: th-cam.com/video/5KE-WIR2gjw/w-d-xo.html
Can you make a short video on the yarn the 80 uses? I just got one and I’m having a hard time finding the sizes of yarn the machine can work with.
I definitely want to make a video about that in the future. For now I am already working on some other video’s. To help you, the weight and meterage are a great indication for understanding what yarn you can use. This machine likes thinner yarns depending on if you knit with it single or double bed. Everything from generic sock yarn (50 gram balls with a meterage of 205 meters) and thinner will work great on this machine. Good luck!
❤❤❤❤❤
Merci infiniment 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are very welcome!
No weights?
Correct, this Passap knitting machine does not require weights. Cool he 😀
@ZabbezOriginal I've recently purchased an e6000. Some repairs and cleaning are required. I'll be following your channel as I learn how to knit with it.
@@weegie2818 Great! The E6000 is about the greatest machine you can ever have. You are very lucky. Enjoy!
As a hand knitter this is *fascinating* to watch.
Makes me happy to hear that, thank you!

Thank you very much!
Another GREAT detailed tutorial! I had not realized you had so many different brand knitting machines. Like you, I have a Hague linker. The 4.5 pin spacing works well with my other machines, even the bulky 9mm of the same 4.5mm gauge brand machines. Many people don't know the Passap linker is made to match the pin spacing to the 5mm gauge machines. Passap only made the 5mm pin spacing linker to my knowledge. Hague has several different models by pin size. I can always squeeze my Passap knits to the pin size of the Hague linker but, the other way around I would need to stretch a bit from one stitch to the next with my other gauge machines. Wish I had enough space for matching tools for everything. Someday maybe you will do a video with all the great applications that can be done with a linker. Your knitting always looks very professional. Tightening down the stitch size to aprox. 2 stitch numbers smaller for the rib than the stitch size used for the main garment helps the ribbing hold it's shape and recovery. Hand knitters do the same thing by using smaller needle sizes for the ribbing than the main knitting. Beginning machine knitters learn good practices right from the start watching your instructions. Thank you for such detailed Passap videos.
Thank you! Yes, I have several machines and I love all of them for different reasons. They all have their own characters. If only I had more time so I could make more video’s, because I think some of my other machines are jealous of this Passap lately 🤣 And I totally agree with you, I wish I also had more space so I could match all my tools for everything. The linker I have temporarily borrowed from a friend. I almost got my hand on a Passap linker a year ago, but I didn’t manage. So luckily there is still a lot more to dream about 😁
These demonstrations are very useful. I have learned several alternate techniques to accomplish some knitting on my Passap giving me choices for knitting and finishing items. Thanks.
It makes me happy to hear that. Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮😮
Well done.
Thank you 😀
You are amazing! I have recently acquired a Passap Pinkie and I have been looking for good patterns for it! Your tutorials are perfect for that!
Thank you very much. The Passap Pinkie is a great machine that knits beautifully. Have fun!
Nice video and extremely informative!!! Could you do the same but in the PASSAP DUO 80? I just refurbished mine and want to use it more effectively, and your videos are exceptional on the teachings and clear explanations, you are an excellent instructor and show how to recover from mistakes, thanks for all that!!!
Thank you so much, it makes me really happy to read your message. I do have a video for making a hat on the Passap Duomatic 80, but not with fair isle yet. I have no Deco device installed on my knitting machine yet, but I will do it in the future one day! 👍🏻😀
Hvala lepo za ogled
Thank you very much!
Avez vous des vidéo avec Passap E6000, j’aurais besoin de revoir le fonctionnement. Merci, tous vos vidéos sont tri en expliqué
I do not own a Passap E6000 unfortunately. Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to have one.
Ein schönes Video. Socken lassen sich sehr gut nachstricken. Leider ist das Zusammennähen am Ende etwas kurz und dadurch schlecht zu sehen, um schöne Nähte für Anfänger hinzubekommen.
Thank you so much! Socks are a lot of fun to knit on a knitting machine. Sewing socks together can be done on several different ways. Maybe I will make an extra video about it in the future if I have the time 👍🏻😀
Formidable vos explications
Thank you so much!
Hi Zabbez. Thanks for the great video! Is there a reason why you did not take the right and left side stitches off to waste yarn after the ribbing? This would allow you to knit the back of the leg and seam as you go exactly like you did the bottom of the foot. ************** Another question is whether you have ever tried to make a left sock and a right sock. My feet are not very symmetric!
It all comes down to personal preference. You could totally do it that way by taking it off on waste yarn right after the ribbing. I know many people who do it that way too. Personally I have not made asymmetrical socks, as I find the stretch in the fabric is enough to accommodate any shaping. But again, this is personal preference and you could totally do that. The great thing about knitting machines is that you can completely customize it to your liking. A lot of fun!
I love this video! I have a passap goldy that I’m gonna get back out and give this a try. I subscribed, and I’m gonna look for a video making a hat on this machine. If I can’t find one…… Good idea for a new video! Thank you.
Thank you so much! The Passap Goldy is very suitable to knit this kind of socks on. It will be a lot of fun. And for a hat video, check out the playlist on my channel 👍🏻
Hi😂
Podrías tejer un sweater en la passap???
Yes. I have made several video's for the Passap. Check out the Passap playlist. And more video's are coming! 😀
I wish your channel existed when I started my Knitting years ago. No one I have watched so far explains as easy and clear like you, and the videos and illustrations with the techniques and procedures you use are the best!!! And this machine/system is way better than learning on the Brother or the Singer systems, and I can say that coz I have ALL OF THEM!!! But I now will sell all my Brother/Singer machines, and will stay with my two PASSAPS!!! Thanks for your excellent teachings, and the Lord give you Long Life, lots of Blessings and protection!!!
Thank you so much, it makes me really happy to read your message. I love knitting on my knitting machines and all of them have their own character. This Passap is just amazing 😀 I wish you lot’s of fun on your knitting journey with the machines that you love!
Hi Bas, is it by your knowledge possible to do circular knitting with this kind of machine? Kind regards, Iskander
Hello Iskander, on this specific knitting machine, the front bed is used only for ribbing. It is not possible to knit circular / in the round.
All of your videos are just so illuminating !!! I already have a different vintage knitting machine, but it is a little more complicated (its a Knittax 360 with punchcards etc) But because of you, I have now sourced an M2 locally (with a ribber 🎉) in order to really understand and get the basics under control first with a much simpler machine. Thank you so much for making these videos and all the wonderful instructions and projects. You make me feel like I can actually do it! 😂
This is such a sweet message, thank you! You are very welcome. And great to read you sourced an M2 with ribber. It is a perfect machine for understanding how knitting machines work. You can knit beautiful garments on the most basic machines. I wish you a lot of fun with your new machine! 😀
Dank voor deze verhelderende video’s, misschien dat ik hierdoor weer beginnen
Dat vind ik leuk om te horen, dank je wel. Hopelijk kun je weer veel plezier beleven aan het breien op een breimachine.
hi great video, thank you for explaining that. Are the pushers a bit hard to push in and out? I have cleaned them, oiled them and they are straight. Still hard for me.
Thank you! Yes the needle pushers are a little harder to push in and out then the knitting needles. But the more you use them, the smoother they will get 😀
Great video, Bas! 👌Of course I don't have that machine so I can't make it, but still very interesting to watch. Hope all is well ❤
Thank you Janne! Yes all is well here. Holiday season is upon us which makes the crafting part of life even bigger 🤣 I saw on Facebook you went to the Christmas market with your earrings. Great! I hope you are enjoying this time too and all is well!
