DesignaKnit with Non Electronic Machines

What Machines Are We Talking About?

The LK150, Brother KX350, Singer 155, Studio 360 and many others. Even electronic machines where the electronics no longer function fall into this category.

What DesignaKnit Can’t Do

You can't download stitch patterns from DesignaKnit to these machines. You must manually select the needles based on the pattern chart, or use punchcards, mylar sheets, or buttons (on older machines).

So Why Use DesignaKnit?

For garment shaping, DesignaKnit's Standard Garment Styling and Original Pattern Drafting allow you to create garment pieces based on your gauge. Print the shaping instructions and follow row-by-row directions.

For stitch patterns, DesignaKnit includes hundreds of patterns you can use as charts to hand-select needles, create punchcards, or just for inspiration to create you own stitch patterns.

Bonus: Interactive Knitting

If you purchase a cable (for USB or serial port), you can use Interactive Knitting with ANY machine — even manual ones. DesignaKnit displays shaping info and alerts you when it’s time to increase/decrease or make other changes.

The Big Picture

Whether or not you connect DesignaKnit directly to your machine, it’s a powerful tool to help with shaping and stitch design. Use it manually — print shaping diagrams or charts — or electronically, using Interactive Knitting to guide you as you go.
