Step by Step to 'Pattern-20'

Split-stitch technique

With this knitting technique, you can close holes that can be caused by transferring stitches.

: The following combinations are excluded in a common technical row:

split-stitch technique with tuck
Split-stitch technique with DJ knitting technique

Sequence of the knitting technique


1	Needle raising All needles in transfer position (stitch) Selection of the receiving needles only for splitting
2	Yarn insertion only into needles in transfer position
3	Split-stitch on receiving needle New stitches on needles in transfer position
: A stitch is split due to transfer and forming half of a stitch (= one stitch leg)

How to use:

As closing stitch:

By transferring and racking the stitches to another position, an 'empty' needle may result.
At this position results a hole when knitting the following knitting row.
This hole can be closed by a split stitch.

As a knot:
When knitting-in / out the yarn carriers with Intarsia knitting technique

A pattern project with one pattern and the desired settings is created.

1: Open Knit Explorer.

2: Select the knitting element Pétinet, maille v to draw from the Knit Explorer under Modules de structure -> Par défaut -> Pétinet .

	Name	Fabric View	Symbol View
Pétinet (stitch underneath)	Pétinet, maille v
	Pétinet, maille v
	Pétinet, maille ^
	Pétinet, maille ^
Pétinet (stitch above)	Pétinet, maille v, au-dessus
Pétinet (stitch above)	Pétinet, maille v, au-dessus

3: Draw the desired 'Pointelle' structure.

4: Select this structure in the desired width and height.

5: Create from selection:

With CTRL + C create a temporary pattern element to draw.
Open the context menu -> Sélection -> select Élément du dessin:
Pattern element is saved in the Parties de dessin tab.

6: Open the pattern element by double clicking.

7: Replace needle action Maille arrière avec report with Transparent.
: This makes it easier to draw-in pattern elements with offset but without overwriting the pattern element that has already been placed.

8: Draw-in the pattern element as desired into the basic pattern.

9: Then, select the knitting element Pétinet, maille bouche-trou v <= to draw from the Knit Explorer under Modules de structure -> Par défaut -> Pétinet, reprise/bouche-trou.

	Name	Fabric View	Symbol View
Pointelle with Split	Pétinet, maille bouche-trou v, en dessous
	Pétinet, maille bouche-trou v, en dessous
	Pétinet, maille bouche-trou v <=
	Pétinet, maille bouche-trou v <=
	Pétinet, maille bouche-trou ^, au-dessus
	Pétinet, maille bouche-trou ^, au-dessus
: In the directory Pétinet, reprise/bouche-trou of the Knit Explorer, you will find further knitting elements.

10: Create structure for the diagonal to the right and for the diagonal to the left.

Pattern element for the diagonal to the left	Pattern element for the diagonal to the right

Pétinet, maille bouche-trou v <= All Needles	Pétinet, maille bouche-trou v <= All Needles, Mirrored
: ATTENTION Tuck and R-R are not allowed in a common technical row when you use split!

11: Select this structures in the desired width and height.

12: Create from selection:

With CTRL + C create a temporary pattern element to draw.
Call-up the context menu Sélection -> Élaborer la partie de dessin... :
-> Pattern element is saved in the Parties de dessin tab.

13: Rename the pattern elements.

14: Select the pattern element for drawing the diagonal to the left at left side of the design pattern.

15: Select the drawing tool Copie multiple.

16: Draw the desired quantity of the diagonal upwards to the left.

17: Select the pattern element for drawing the diagonal to the right.

18: Draw the same quantity of the diagonal upwards to the right with the active Copie multiple drawing tool.

19: Select this structure of diagonals to the left and to the right.

20: Open the context menu -> Sélection -> select Élaborer la partie de dessin... :

Pattern element is saved in the Parties de dessin tab.

21: Draw the structure with this pattern element upwards into the design pattern.

22: Draw the diagonals of the right side of the design pattern the same way, create pattern element of it Élaborer la partie de dessin... , and draw it into the pattern.

Design Pattern is created.

23: If necessary, call-up the Configuration tool window in the ribbon, select the Attributs de machine tab and make the required settings under Fonctions système:

The conversion of the cams for all gauges is necessary:

With OKC machines of all component types
With EKC machines up to component type 000

With EKC machines starting with component type 001

NO conversion with the gauges from E10 to E18 and from E6.2 to E9.2
Conversion for all coarse gauges is necessary



1	Specification of the systems in which ‘splitting of stitches' is to be carried out.
2	Specification of the systems in which ‘transferring' is to be carried out.
RECOMMENDED: Disable Reporter de la fonture for the system equipped with split cams.
