DesignaKnit is powerful software for the serious machine knitter. It is designed to interface directly with electronic machines, but can also be used with any machine, manual, punchcard or non-working electronic machines.
DesignaKnit can be a powerful design and shaping tool — even for non-electronic knitting machines like the LK-150, KX350, or TH-160. You won’t be able to download stitch patterns, but that doesn’t mean the software can’t transform your knitting.
If you have a non-patterning machine (no electronics or punchcard) DesignaKnit can be a great help with your knitting.
