When we're just getting started, a simple instruction like "Place needles in hold" can give us pause.

At one time machine knitting pattern were written for specific machines. The instruction would read "place needles L15 - L24 to "D" position".

These days, we are using a variety of machines and patterns that may or may not be written for machine knitting. The instructions may not be as specific.

Part of your learning curve is to UNDERSTAND the concepts
  • What button and levers to use
  • What is happening when we work short row shaping (partial knitting)
  • The purpose of using this technique in the first place.
Short Rows are worked using the hold setting on the machine.
