Essentials of Circular Machine Knitting

Essentials of Circular Machine Knitting

Begin your circular knitting machine journey by mastering four essential skills: starting a web on the machine, adjusting the stitch size, creating a selvedge, and reversing (heels). Establish a solid foundation to allow you to create socks and other items at home. Intermediate knitters may find useful tips for improving success.These instructions are intended for use with a stationary cylinder circular knitting machine, capable of reversing, and having needles that can be isolated or removed from the machine. Much of the information will also apply to rotating cylinder circular knitting machines of similar design. These machines are more advanced than the general class of plastic hobby knitters.This book will not replace the original machine manuals for information about specific threading and assembly instructions for each model. It will, however, help clarify a great deal of the ideas presented in those manuals.
