Machine knitting scarf pattern

Many knitters have already mastered machine knitting. It's not even that it's faster. The loops themselves turn out smoother and such products are simply indistinguishable from store-bought versions.

But you don’t immediately begin to understand all the intricacies of working with such machines. Don't stop, be patient, the more training, the better the result.

Yarn

Hand yarn is definitely not suitable for machines. Maybe someone has gotten used to it and uses skeins of hand yarn, but beginners should definitely give them up.

After all, you didn’t guess correctly with the thickness, didn’t make the necessary switching, and the knitting machine adjuster will become your most frequent guest.

Therefore, it is better to purchase special yarn for knitting on this device. With them, the machine buzzes more quietly and there will definitely be no breakdowns due to an incorrectly selected thread.

Sample

For machine knitting you will also need to knit a small sample. It must be done on this machine. With the yarn from which the product will be made and with the same pattern. It doesn't have to be big.After knitting, you need to carefully lay out this piece and present it with a ruler.

Measure how many loops and how many rows there will be in 10 cm. Then mark the result in the draft and convert into cm loops. This will make it easier to calculate how many loops are needed for the initial set or for the entire length of the product. Let us examine in detail the diagram of the scarf knitted on the machine.

To work you will need:

• soft half-wool yarn from the category of yarn for a knitting machine;

Loop calculation

Machine knitting also requires good stitch counting. Many people wonder whether it is necessary to knit a pattern on a machine and whether it is really necessary for bactus. In fact, any product needs a sample and bactus is no exception. Machine knitting can make a sample and then from it it will be possible to determine the density and calculate how much total set of loops is required.

Start knitting

The bactus starts from the corner with three loops. Further additions to the middle and decreases are planned. Make additions on machine knitting as follows:

• using a decker, throw 2 loops to the left on exactly one hook;
• the loop rises onto the free hook.

Increases through three rows.

Important! With this addition of loops, holes are never formed and therefore it is used most often.

Knit 229 rows like this.

Openwork

There is a small openwork insert in the center of the product.

Decreases

After the openwork, symmetrical decreases begin. Machine knitting requires the following decrease:

Slip two stitches onto the needle to the right.

Important! When using this reduction technique, you are sure to get an even bevel.

End of work

Knit up to three loops and bind them off. This is a cool bactus with a charming openwork insert.

Knitting on a machine is not that difficult. You can get a beautiful product faster than with knitting needles, you just have to understand the technique.

It also produces very straight loops. In general, only pros and no cons for creating a cool thing.
