This easy-to-follow guide to innovative knit design picks up where, once the basics of machine knitting are mastered, follow up questions arise such as: shaping 2- or 3-dimensional forms, shaping the outside, creating volume from the inside, and giving structure to a knit. It explores methods of shaping where stitches remain on the needle or are transferred to adjacent needles, as well as variations in edging the knitting, always considering what the finished product needs to convey. Moreover, the book uses different methods of calculating and designing, including graphs, formulas, and technical drawings, all enhanced by fun sketches depicting the authors in lively discussion creating the book. The calculations in the book are not according to arithmetic principles or software solutions, but are based on the use of a knitting machine and knitting technology. Ingenious alternative solutions are included in all four chapters, each of which uses a different yarn colour and a specific language. Thorough yet playful, this book transmits the authors' distinct love for the craft of machine knitting and their profound knowledge of all knitting techniques.
