General Knit It Now Info
1. We show you a finished sweater with a stitch pattern and all the details and you knit it as shown
2. You can use the basic shape and substitute your own stitch pattern. Knit it Now doesn't know what stitch pattern you use, it is doing the math and providing the numbers for you based on your stitch and row gauge. The instructions read "cast on in pattern" and "knit straight in pattern".
Projects for first-time knitters using basic knit and purl stitches. Minimal shaping.
Easy
Projects using basic stitches, repetitive stitch patterns, simple color changes, and simple shaping and finishing.
Intermediate
Projects with a variety of stitches, such as basic cables and lace,simple intarsia, double-pointed needles and knitting in the round needle techniques, mid-level shaping and finishing.
Experienced
Projects using advanced techniques and stitches, such as short rows, fair isle, more intricate intarsia, cables, lace patterns, and numerous color changes.

Knit it Now Sizing charts indicate the body measurements that are used to size our garments. The individual designers add ease to various sections of the garment to obtain the style they are creating.
The pattern description should have an indication of the amount of ease in a garment. Once you have built your pattern, you can compare the measurements on the piece legend and the sizing chart to determine the exact amount of ease the designer included.
Very fitted (0 ease to negative ease)
Fitted (+1 to 1.5 inches)
Semi Fitted (2.5 to 3 inches)
Loose (4 to 5 inches)
Oversized (6 to 8 inches)
Ease is noted in each pattern description and can be reviewed by comparing the schematic in the pattern to the body sizing charts.
- If you prefer to print your patterns without color, set your printer to "print all colors as GREYSCALE".
In the print dialog box for your printer, there is a tab where you can make this change.Don't use the "print all colors as BLACK" setting.
- Save paper and ink. Get familiar with the setting in the print dialog box for your printer.
In the print dialog box, you can choose which pages to print.Don't want to print the first page? Enter 2-5 and pages 2,3,4,and 5 only will print.
Only need pages 2 and 5? Enter 2,5 and only these 2 pages will print
Instead of having to research errata for patterns you own, Knit it Now alerts you of pattern changes. If we find a major error, we'll send you an email. For updates like an added video, you'll be alerted in your library the next time you view your pattern.
To receive your updated pattern, simply re-size it and the newly generated PDF will contain all changes.
Want to know what changed? Click the link and the notes about updates will display.
"To err is human, to forgive is divine"
Even in knits, bust darts can improve the fit of your garment. When you look in the mirror, does your sweater hang parallel to the ground? Do you tend to pull down on the front of your sweater when you wear it? Consider adding bust darts.
In sewing, a bust dart is a fold in the fabric shortening the side seam (and subsequently lengthening the center front). In knitting we can use short rows to accomplish the same thing. Holding stitches allows you to knit more rows at the center front than the side seams.
Knit it now patterns indicate the location of bust darts. They are optional and we provide a link (within the pattern)to a calculator to do the math for you. Your stitch and row gauge is automatically entered in the calculator as well as your current row.
When knitting a dart, turn off your row counter and follow the instructions from the Dart Formula Calculator. When the dart shaping is complete, don't forget to turn your row counter back on!
You can also find the Dart Calculator from the main menu - Pattern Generator -> Tools.
- Knit it Now is and on-line application. Being on-line there is no "errata" page. Errors can be quickly corrected and additional information can be included quickly. Your lessons and reference material is never out of date!
- In response to requests, we will include stitch charts and other materials in printable form when we can
- To protect our contributors (and to stay in business) we are constantly on the lookout for those unfortunate few who think that a subscription gives them permission to share Learning Library and pattern content.
If significant changes have been made to a technique or lesson it is marked "Updated" for 30 days.
1. Use the "Share" button on the main menu (top of every page). You can upload photos of knitted items made using Knit it Now Patterns. Use your desktop or phone.
2. Use the "Share" button on each pattern page.
3. If you are a subscriber, use the Forum category "Share your Wins".
Knitting Terminology
If you are working on a gauge of 5 sts or less to the inch, you may want to add a seaming stitch to your knitting.
Knit it Now uses the terms "public side" to refer to the side that will be seen when the garment is worn and "private side" for the hidden side of the garment.
Dynamic Patterns
Our goal is to create easy to read patterns without abbreviations and "code" to translate. When appropriate we offer both charts and written instructions.
You don't have to print all the pages! When printing a PDF, you can choose which pages you want to print. You can also navigate our PDF format patterns using Adobe Reader's bookmark and thumbnail features
TO PRINT ONLY THE PAGES YOU WANT:
In the print dialog, separate the pages you want to print with COMMAS - 1,4,6 will only print pages 1, 4 and 6
Enter 1-4 and pages 1,2,3 and 4 will print(use a DASH)
Traditional Format
- Designed in a specific gauge with a specific yarn, the knitter is required to match the gauge or re-chart the design for best fit.
- Each printed pattern contains all sizes.
- Patterns from the pattern library can be purchased individually.
Dynamic Patterns are a collection of knitting patterns with many more features:
- They are designed so the knitter can use any yarn in any gauge. All the math is done for you, so you can get down to what you love ... knitting!
- Each pattern generated is printed in a single garment size, reducing the clutter of unused sizes on the page.
- The patterns can be re-sized as often as you like
- The patterns can be generated multiple times in different gauges.
- Electronic shape and stitch files (DAK) are included when available
- Links to tutorials are included in the pattern where appropriate

Hmmmm... if a Knit it Now pattern had an expiration date, would that create more FO's (finished objects) in the knitting world? We work best under deadlines .....

Shopping Cart
Yarns that come in varying weights are noted as follows:
'Cone weights vary ... you will be billed/credited for the actual cone weight shipped.'
We order by cone and do not have control of the size that is shipped. If it is important that you need a specific amount of yarn, please make a note when you place your order, or send us an email indicating the minimum/maximum amount needed.
Customers with established credit can select the "on account" method of payment.
Color cards and samples are available for all of our yarns. This allows you make color choices based on actual yarn samples.
We appreciate your orders!
Shipping costs are very difficult to estimate online. We ship product from a number of different warehouses and make every effort to keep shipping reasonable for you.
