What's a Machine Knit-Able?

Using hand-picked patterns from the hand knitting world, it's our goal to encourage machine knitters to use updated designs from talented new designers.

Julie was inspired by a Knit-Able from a few weeks ago, and got knitting.

From Julie:

"So many gorgeous patterns available for handknitting! So few new patterns for machine knitters!

Using Hand Knitting Patterns
Using hand knitting patterns for your machine knitting is easier than you may think!

All it takes is little planning, familiarity with the capabilities of your machine and just a little bit of math.
When considering using a hand knit pattern ask yourself:
  • Can it be done?
  • Is it practical?
  • Are you willing?
This tutorial helps you examine the pattern and walks you through the basic math needed to translate the instructions to machine knitting.
