Oh no! Your Dynamic Pattern (or hand knitting pattern) tells you to cast on 224 stitches? Or maybe you want to knit a blanket for a king size bed?
Whether you are knitting a blanket or a plus size garment, you've probably discovered the fact that our knitting machines have a limited number of needles to work with. Unlike hand knitting, we can't use a longer cable needle and add more stitches. We have to get creative to knit larger pieces on the machine.
From a change in tension or stitch pattern to knitting and joining panels, this course offers options for working around the needlebed limitations.
