A stole on a knitting machine, even with a simple stockinette stitch, will look smooth and beautiful. Can be applied fashion trends regarding color. Women have found their thing for cold winter and cool autumn.
Because This product can be used as a head cape. This little thing will complement a coat and sheepskin coat well. It is important to choose the right yarn and beautiful pattern. More details on the yarn and lovely pattern below.
Small but very detailed master class regarding creating a stole on a knitting machine. Attention, the article contains a special diagram for a knitting machine that will help you create perfect lace.
Very interest Ask, which will take even the master by surprise, despite the fact that he has been knitting all the time, and here is a machine. What yarn should I knit with and how? Such extensive experience in knitting needles is of little help when faced with a machine.
In fact, machine knitters are divided on yarn. Some people advise choosing only special bobbins and then dealing with wool blends.
But there were also those who got used to knitting with regular yarn and paid attention only to the thickness of the thread. But one main thing is that it directly depends on the model.
The amount of yarn for a sweater is about 2 kg per size 46. For a stole, you can also use about 2 kg. And for those who wish bigger size stole, than 0.5 by 2, you can buy a little more yarn.
The principle of knitting will be no different from hand knitting. Except it's faster and the loops are smoother. But the master will get pleasure from the yarn in any case. It will not be possible to completely entrust the work to a robot; the entire process will have to be controlled.
We chose a model, purchased yarn and also knitted a small sample for the correct size. Next, we calculated the knitting density (how many loops and how many rows of a given pattern are 10 cm). Based on the knitting density indicator, we then calculated how many loops and how many rows would be needed for a whole stole.
Step-by-step instructions for knitting a stole on a knitting machine
Then, based on one model, you can plunge into creating a stole on a typewriter. Full description making a stole with diagrams and clarifications for the master and the beginner.
Light openwork stole
Very beautiful stole light color. Thin thread and openwork patterns make this product even more charming. It is very warm and can complement a classic coat. Knitting is done using the shetland lace technique. This stole was created on a Brother typewriter from grade 5.
To work you will need:
- LineaPiu yarn (Camelot Mohair);
- knitting machine.
The size of the finished product is 170*80 cm.
Sample
First, we knitted a small sample on a machine using a punched card. Using a small piece, you should determine the density of the knitting. Just place the ruler on a free canvas. Do not pull it too tight as this will result in an incorrect measurement.
We calculated how many loops are in 10 cm and this will be the first number for the knitting density. The second is how many rows will be contained in 10 cm. Two numbers determine the knitting density. They determined how many loops are required for a stole width of 80 cm. How many rows will be needed for a stole size of 170 cm. If desired, you can increase the stole fabric.
Knitting using a punch card
This stole is knitted using a special punched card.
That's why knit the required number of loops, and you can try on the product almost immediately. This is how you can easily and simply make a fashionable product for yourself and your loved ones.
Important! Good advice from the craftsmen would be to process the stole in a timely manner. After knitting, you will need to wet it and let it dry on a flat surface, immediately straighten the loops. This way it will last a long time and the hinges will be even.
Here so knitting machine for this a short time can make a whole stole. It would take a master knitter several days. And what smooth loops and no mistakes. A very modern solution and a beautiful product that you can wear for your own pleasure, no one will think that it was created with your own hands. Smooth loops and great creative inspiration.
Most women have a stole in their wardrobe. This is both a piece of clothing and an accessory that gives the appearance a unique look and elegance. Knitted capes are especially chic.
Hand knitting is a long process. Not everyone can afford to devote it a large number of time. A good assistant in this matter is a knitting machine. The stole is knitted on a machine quite quickly. Experienced knitters can complete this in one sitting. And for beginners this is a great opportunity gain experience in machine knitting and master various techniques and patterns.
A beautiful knitted stole is a wonderful gift for a birthday or holiday. You can quickly knit several different products and give them to family and friends, for example, New Year. Or just urgently resolve the issue with the gift.
Another advantage of knitting knitwear by machine is that the fabric is perfectly smooth, even when using very thin threads.
You can knit from yarn of various compositions and almost any thickness. It all depends on the class of the knitting machine and what kind of thing you need - warm and dense to protect from the cold or light openwork to create a finished look for an evening dress. Accordingly, you can knit from wool and wool blends, cotton, silk, viscose, various mixed and fancy types of yarn.
The color range of threads has no restrictions. Here, when choosing, only the taste and wishes of the performer or the future owner of the item play a role.
Various patterns are used to knit a stole on a machine. Most often with openwork weave. Designs can be from simple nets to intricate patterns, such as Scottish lace.
Plating is a false openwork. It is obtained by using two threads, one of which is very thin - fishing line or nylon. The cape knitted in this way has an exquisite jacquard-like pattern.
You can knit a real jacquard from multi-colored threads. Such products are very bright and original. It is even easier to knit them on a machine in a simple knit stitch using section-dyed or melange yarn.
Patterns with press (fung) weave look interesting. The result is a honeycomb-like fabric. The pattern appears on the face and back, and is different, which allows you to wear the item as you like, twisting it and throwing it on different sides.
Using weaving knitting, a weaving pattern reminiscent of a tapestry is imitated. It is made by applying a finishing thread to the wrong side of the fabric.
You can decorate a machine-knitted stole with tassels or crocheting. To maintain the shape ready product it is necessary to block it - dry it in a stretched, fixed form.
This is the simplest of all knitting machines. A beautiful and unusual stole was my first product made with it. It’s not complicated at all, you just need to get used to the algorithm of actions.
Before starting work, we refuel the machine and disassemble the needles: three in the front working position - PNP, seven - in the rear non-working position - ZNP. We collect loops using a pigtail loop catcher. That is, three loops around the needles, and 7 air loops like crocheting and again around three needles. We have 10 loops. You can make any number of needles, this will only slightly change the pattern and density of the finished stole.
After casting on the loops, we put the thread into the carriage, which should be on the right. We place the Russell levers on both sides in position 1. Thus, we have enabled partial knitting. Using this function we will knit our beauty.
It looks like this:
We move the outer three needles to the middle working position. The remaining needles remain in the PNP and ZNP as they were. We knit these three outer needles with a carriage: 
We have the carriage on the right. We take the thread and wind it, as shown in the second photo, under the outer needle. The thread remains in the carriage. We knit back to the right. We hang the load on the loops of the first trinity. Again we knit these outer three needles to the left and again bring the thread under the outer needle. 
We do this five times. It turns out this picture, before the last sixth time, the carriage is on the right. 
We remove the next three needles to the middle working position - SRP. And we knit the first and second trinity. 
We thread the outer needle again. 
We push the first three needles into the PNP, they are no longer knitted. 
We are now working with the second three. She's in the PSA. We knit 4 times, since the first coincides with the sixth of the previous three needles. The carriage is on the right. Place the next three needles in the PSA again and move to the left to knit the second and third sets of needles. When knitting to the right, we also wrap the thread around the outer needle. 
The result is a canvas like this: 
Having reached the last three needles, we knit them 12 times, not six. That is, we turn to reverse side. You will get this picture: 
Do not forget to change the position of the needles that have already stopped working on the PNP so that they are not accidentally knitted by the carriage. Change the weights in a timely manner; the evenness of the loops depends on them. I recommend knitting this stole on a gauge of 4 to 6. Knitting too loose will result in an unclear pattern. And high density will not allow the product to become airy.
It’s easy to finish knitting - after knitting to the edge, knit six times instead of 12. And bind off the three loops using needles as usual. Where the needles are in the ZNP, you will have to tinker: use a loop catcher to air loops and close the trinity again on the typewriter.
This stole can be knitted in 4 hours. Since this was my first piece, it took me 8 hours. But having mastered all the operations of extending needles, rearranging weights, counting knitted rows on the first lower tier, I knitted further almost without looking.
After removing the canvas from the machine, it should be allowed to rest for a couple of hours. Then wash by hand in shampoo or liquid soap. Squeeze gently. This product can only be dried on a horizontal surface. Spread your hands on the towel and cover with the second towel on top. If the stole is too long, fold it in half. No blocking needed.
After the masterpiece has dried, attach the brushes. To do this, cut equal pieces of thread, and crochet along the edge every two threads into the places of the front stitch of 3 loops.
