This thorough yet playful reference work for machine knitters by Beleke den Hartog and Elsbeth van Heyningen leads knitters to an in-depth understanding of knitting construction

A tutorial and visual book of few words and abundant images that can be understood by everyone, it is an easy-to-follow guide for personal and innovative knit design that picks up where, once the basics of machine knitting are mastered, follow up questions arise. The book uses different methods of calculating and designing, including graphs, formulas, and technical drawings, all enhanced by fun sketches depicting the authors in lively discussion creating the book. The calculations in the book are not according to arithmetic principles or software solutions, but are based on the use of a knitting machine and knitting technology. The book transmits the authors’ distinct love for the craft of machine knitting and their profound knowledge of knitting techniques. Offering insight for digital application, this book is a preliminary sketch with many opportunities to elaborate on it. There is no single way to achieve the result. Solutions are a personal choice.
