Via the drop-down menu you open the dialog box Colors in which you can select your own color.

Anchor

Anchor for this marking

The anchor of a marking is a corner point of the knitting element that you can select freely:

Top Left

Right Top

Left Bottom

Right Bottom

The stitches with red border in the image represent four possibilities.

Offset X and Offset Y relate to the horizontal and the vertical distance each in stitches, from the marking point to the defined anchor in the knitting element.

Thus, the position of the knitting element regarding the marking point is clearly determined.

In the example image, the anchor is set to Left Bottom.
