Patterning

This class covers everything to do with patterning on the main bed of the machine using a punch-card, plus intarsia. If you have a computer knitting machine, all classes are still applicable. Starting with an introduction to each stitch, techniques covered are tuck stitch, miss stitch, fairisle, single motif, intarsia, punch lace, tuck lace, lace using the lace carriage and weave stitch.
