Knots at the Shape Edge with a French Shoulder

The situation with a shape with neck gore:

Up to now the knot after binding-off the French shoulder was part of the end module of the binding-off the shoulder.

The solution:

• The knots are eliminated from the left and right end module in order to enable you to select a knot for this position within the Yarn Field Allocation dialog box.
• Two floats are inserted at the very end of the end module in order to position the selected knots after the last transfer of binding-off the shoulder.
  These floats determine the correct positions of the knots.

The following modules are modified:

• French shoulder above
• French shoulder underneath
• French Shoulder 2x2 Rib 6 stitches

The examples:

Left shoulder:

• Blue area: Border of the end module for binding-off the shoulder
• Red area: Inserted floats
• White area: New Knot
• Rear Tuck

Right shoulder:

No tuck is needed in the right shoulder.
The mirroring module enables automatically the correct knot for both the shoulders.

The situation with a shape with V-neck:

With a shape with V-neck the right shoulder will be bound-off at first then the left shoulder with a different yarn carrier and at last the neck.
For this only one knot is necessary after binding-off the right shoulder.
This knot can not be placed on L0 due to the empty needles within the V-cutout.

The solution:

A special knot module was generated:

• Knot will be knit on L1
• Two empty rows in the end module in order not to have the knot positioned partly outside the shape.

The following modules are modified:

• French shoulder above V-neck
• French shoulder underneath V-neck
• French Shoulder 2x2 Rib 6 stitches V Neck

The example:

End module for binding-off the French shoulder above V-neck

Example for the inserted knot:

• Blue area: Border of the end module for binding-off the shoulder
• White area: New Knot
