Start-to-Finish Fairisle Sweater
Create a sweater from a photo
I LOVE that sweater!
How many times have you found a sweater design you love (hand knitting or ready-to-wear) and said "I can knit that on my knitting machine"?
The trick is view the photo with the eyes of a machine knitter.
Learn ALL the steps (start-to-finish) to create your own version of this Fairisle pullover design using DesignaKnit.
In this course you will copy a sweater from a photo. For this practice, knitting instructions are not available and we can't try on the sweater. We may not copy the original exactly (who would want to?), but we will make choices and create a custom sweater we will love to wear.
Using all the DesignaKnit modules, you will:
- Create the basic sweater knitting instructions
- Use Graphic Studio and Stitch Designer to create stitch patterns
- Precisely position the stitch patterns on the garment pieces
- Design and add a kangaroo pocket
- Print knitting instructions
- Use Interactive knitting to knit the sweater with the stitch patterns
Overview
Why Swatch First?
Design your Own Sweater Style
Put the power of DesignaKnit to work.
Why Swatch First?
Understand how DAK "thinks" in terms of gauge and stitch patterns
Design your Own Sweater Style
You don't have to start drafting your pattern from a blank piece of paper.
Create the Stitch Pattern(s)
Our original was not a hand knitting pattern, so there aren't any charts to copy. Zoom in to the photo to copy or or choose/create your own stitch patterns
Position the Stitch pattern(s)
By integrating the stitch patterns with the garment shapes, we can precisely position the stitch patterns to copy the original design.

Who is this course for?
Have you studied and used DesignaKnit in bits and pieces, but haven't been able to see the entire "big picture"?
Maybe you've used each of the sections a little bit, but creating an entire sweater start-to-finish is still a mystery.
Integrating stitch patterns with garment pieces is an essential skill when designing sweaters, but it's not always intuitive in DesignaKnit.
This course is for you!
For success with this course, you need to be familiar with each of the modules. The course assumes you know how to use the tools. It walks you through the design process from concept to knitting.
