Properties and Behavior

With yarn color or yarn carrier color

You have to draw-in a knitting needle action if you enter additional rows with Yarn Color or Yarn Carrier Color into a color column.

Without yarn color or yarn carrier color

You have to draw in a Transfer, Cast-off or Loop sinking needle action (not knitting) if you enter additional rows without Yarn Color or Yarn Carrier Color into a color column.

Behavior:

  • The additional rows must contain needle actions as no data will be read from the reference row of the basic pattern (source pattern).
  • In additional rows with yarn color or yarn carrier color and a knitting needle action, no automatic tuck binding will be entered into the neighboring color field.
  • No pattern parameters will be applied to additional rows with yarn color or yarn carrier color and a knitting needle action.
    Exception: NP data.

    Draw the desired needle action into the empty rows:

    If necessary, allocate a different stitch length to the Longueur de la maille avant (NPv) / Longueur de la maille arrière (NP^) control columns of the CA.
