Manage Pattern Colors

The pattern colors in CREATE DESIGN are initially established for every design project regarding the colors, since the pattern colors always define a knitting function or a knitting area as well.

You can adapt the color values of the pattern colors individually to the colors of your collection so that you can receive a more accurate representation of your design during the design process.

The Pattern Colors tool window shows you all the standardized pattern colors for the design project.
The pattern colors that are identified with a check mark, are currently used in your design.
