Properties

The distinguishing characteristic of a devoré pattern is that each stitch consists of two elements:

1

"Stitch-Stitch"

2

"Stitch-Float"

The single jersey basic structure ("SJ") is formed by a thin, transparent monofilament thread that is also called binding thread.

The motif results by selecting stitches that are formed by a thicker yarn. This yarn is called motif thread. The needles that are not selected for the stitch will be driven out and the motif thread will be laid-in as float.

Both yarns will be sunk together.

Knitting process:

1

Insert binding thread with stitch formation.

The leading yarn carrier with the binding thread is inserted all needles selected for knitting.

The needles that do not knit the motif thread are sunken to Devoré position between the two yarn carriers.

2

Insert the motif thread and knit-off together with the binding thread

The following yarn carrier with the motif thread is inserted alongside the binding thread into the not yet withdrawn needles.

Then all needles will be sunk together.
