Length adjustment with switchable cycles
A pattern can contain different types of cycles for adjusting the length.
- Set Cycle under behavior for the pattern repetition in the Cycles dialog box.
- Set Switchable Cycle under behavior for the length control in the Cycles dialog box.
I. Example for cycles with pattern repetition and length control.
For the following example applies:
- RS7 = Cycle for pattern repetition.
- RS8 = specifies the position, where the pattern will end (cycle for the length control).
|
RS |
Setting |
Function |
|---|---|---|
|
RS7 |
n |
RS7 will be knitted n times. |
|
RS8 |
0 |
Length S, M, L, XL will be not knitted. |
|
RS8 |
1 |
Length S will be knitted. |
|
RS8 |
2 |
Length S and M will be knitted. |
|
RS8 |
3 |
Length S, M, and L will be knitted. |
|
RS8 |
4 |
Length S, M, L, and XL will be knitted. |
|
RS8 |
5 or more |
Length S, M, L, XL will be not knitted. |
II. Define pattern areas for switchable cycles:
The height of a switchable cycle has to contain a repeatable rhythm of knitting.
- 1
- Select the first pattern area via a row selection.
- 2
- Allocate RS cycle counters. (Example: RS8)
- 3
- Insert the Min. and Max. values.

- Proceed in the same way with the other areas.
- You can determine the different fabric lengths using RS8=0 up to RS8=4.
You can define the switchable cycles differently in the height.
RS must be allocated to all switchable cycles.
