Step by Step to Pattern-3

  1. 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 in Knit Explorer under Modules de structure -> Par défaut -> Pétinet .
    3
    Draw the desired structure.

    4
    Select a structure in the desired width and height.
    5
    Create from selection:
    6
    Draw-in the pattern element with the help of the center of the pattern field several times to the left and right into the basic pattern.
    7
    Then, in Knit Explorer under Modules de structure -> Par défaut -> Modes de tricotage base select the knitting element 1x1 Côte perlée to draw.

: For working with PTS - different stitch length index in one technical row - the STOLL knitting elements Structure from the Knit Explorer already have different stitch lengths allocated. The stitch lengths are allocated in the control columns, as well as needle-exactly to the needle action.

    8
    Activate Reprendre la longueur de la maillein the cursor attributes.
    9
    Draw the 1x1 Côte perlée knitting element in the design pattern.
  1. The needle-exact stitch length from the knitting element will be entered in the design pattern.

Presentation of the design pattern in stitch length (NPJ)

  • There is no stitch length allocated in the grey areas.
    This means that the standard stitch lengths from the control columns are used here.
  • In the areas with drawn-in stitch lengths, the standard stitch lengths are overwritten and the new stitch lengths are used.

Result:
Different stitch lengths are available in a single technical row.
= Working with PTS.

:
When positioning the knitting element 1x1 Côte perlée be sure that it is positioned correctly to Début, 1x1.
This means that the structure 1x1 from the start without racking has to continue running in the structure of the 1x1 half cardigan.

Apply stitch lengths from knitting element to the control columns when drawing:

Condition:
The knitting element 1x1 Côte perlée has different stitch length entries in the control columns and as in the basic pattern.

  1. Select a knitting element.
  2. : The Cursor Attributes window with the currently available attributes appears.
  3. Via the Reprendre les colonnes de commande button make the desired setting to draw:
  4. - Activated
    Stitch lengths from the knitting element are entered in the control columns.
  5. - Deactivated
    Stitch lengths from the knitting element are not entered in the control columns.
  6. Draw the knitting element in the design pattern.
  7. : The stitch length is present in the control column and is therefore valid for the entire technical row. No Power Tension Setting (NPJ) is created.

Apply stitch lengths from knitting elements exactly to the needles when drawing into the design pattern:

Condition:
In the knitting element 1x1 Côte perlée there are entered different stitch lengths in the needle actions.

  1. Select a knitting element.
  2. : The Cursor Attributes window with the currently available attributes appears.
  3. Via the Reprendre la longueur de la maille button make the desired setting to draw:
  4. - Activated
    Stitch lengths from the knitting element will be applied to the design pattern.
  5. - Deactivated
    Stitch lengths from the knitting element will not be applied to the design pattern.
  6. Draw the knitting element in the design pattern.
  7. : Now there are different stitch lengths available for PTS in a single technical row.

Draw stitch lengths from the table needle-exactly into the design pattern:

Condition:

  • In the design pattern there are drawn different structures by areas.
  • The standard stitch lengths are entered in the control columns and .
  1. In the status bar of the design pattern, switch from Couleur de dessin to Longueur de la maille.
  2. Open the selection list in the Accueil ribbon under Paramètre at Fenêtre Outils and select the Longueur de la maille (NP) tool window.
  3. : The Longueur de la maille (NP) tool window appears.
  4. Select the Par défaut tab.
  5. Select the desired stitch lengths with the CTRL key in the and columns additively.
  6. : The stitch length for the front and rear needle bed are at the cursor.
  7. Draw stitch lengths in the desired structure area needle-exactly into the design pattern.
  8. : Now, different stitch lengths for PTS exist in one knitting row.

Result:

1

Grey = no colored entry of a stitch length

In these areas, the default stitch length from the control columns and are used.

: The default values must not be deleted from the control columns.

    Allocate the desired attributes to the new shape lines:

Binding-off of the left external edge of the shape

Binding-off of the right external edge of the shape

: The shape lines for binding-off at the external edge of the shape are at the same height in the line table.
During the technical processing these shape lines binding-off are moved regarding the height according to the carriage direction.

  • Height until binding-off even numbered: Binding-off right before left
  • Height until binding-off odd-numbered: Binding-off left before right

: The knitting sequence when binding-off depends on the carriage stroke!
The height (number of knitting rows) until binding-off is as desired, since the binding-off edges are moved in height by the technical processing according to the carriage direction.

  1. The newly created shape element is displayed in the graphic and in the line table as well.

Shape Element Type: Neckline symmetric

Positioning of a shape element in the basic shape

:
Every shape element gets a link (anchor) to a shape point in the basic shape during its creation.

Condition:

  • A basic shape with a shape element Encolure is created.
  1. Position the cursor in the shape element.
  2. Reposition the shape element with the LMB pressed.
