This program helps you visualize your placemat design. To knit your
design, use this program in conjunction with the
Woven Placemats Collection pattern.
These placemats use an innovative knitting technique that replicates
woven fabric. There are fifty-six cables on this design; each starts
at the bottom and travels up the mat. If the cable reaches the side,
it changes horizontal direction and continues moving upwards.
Different designs are created by changing the colour of the cables.
There are lots of different colour combinations possible (2 to the
power of 56 to be exact) and each will create a different woven
motif.
There are many beautiful designs. I hope you enjoy creating your
own.
Instructions
This placemat is worked in 2 colours. The main colour (MC) is used
on the edges and the woven motif. The contrast colour (CC) is used
only in the woven motif.
The fifty-six cables are arranged in twenty-eight pairs. Pair 1
refers to the cables that start at the right end of the placemat;
pair 28 refers to the cables that start at the left end.
Toggle between MC or CC to choose the colour of each cable. Press
Draw Placemat to see your design. Press Continue Editing to make
changes to your design. When you are happy with your design, press
Create Pattern.
