Standard Garment Styling
(available in the “HandKnit,” “Professional,” and “Complete” software versions)Choose from a range of standard models, use standard size charts or enter your own measurements to tailor designs to your needs. These models can be knitted as-is or used as a starting point for your original design in the “Original Pattern Drafting” module.A finished model can be selected based on specific characteristics such as gender (female, male), age (child, teen, adult), type (skirt, sweater, etc.), finishing details (neckline, sleeves, etc.), knitting density, and size options.

Interactive Knitting
The interactive knitting screen displays the knitting progress while working by hand or with a machine.
Audio alerts or other notifications appear when it’s time to change yarn color, shape edges, when specific stitch symbols appear in the pattern row, or when the knitting method changes—for example, from “Tuck” to “Fair Isle.”
Almost any knitting machine can be synchronized with interactive knitting using the appropriate connection cables, which are sold separately. With each carriage pass, the screen updates to show the workflow. The cables are compatible with all types of knitting methods, including plain stockinette knitting. |

DesignaKnit Graphics Studio
The Graphics Studio allows you to convert standard graphic file formats into DesignaKnit stitch patterns. You can use photos, scanned files, and similar images. It offers precise control over how image colors are translated into yarn colors. Yarn shades can be selected directly from the image or specified manually. You can also input the number of stitches and rows, as well as the number of yarn colors per row in the knitted piece.

| Image conversion.
|
DesignaKnit 9 now has a significantly improved method for converting photos into knitting pattern designs, reproducing the original image much more accurately.
