Shaping pattern suggestions will challenge you to put your growing knowledge base to work with a wide range of pattern choices.

We suggest you continue to knit in plain stockinette and not complicate shaping with stitch patterns. The goal is continue to gain confidence in your skills by knitting more than just swatches.

The skills in this level are critical to your success with machine knitting.
