Fabric Weaves for knitters

   
 

A book of stitchpattern designs for 24st, 40st and electronic machines. In spite of the name, the designs are not actually for weaving, but instead explore the possibilities of using woven-looking designs on knitted fairisle fabrics. As a bonus this sort of design also produces unique textured fabrics when used on the garter carriage.
The fairisle fabrics you produce can be used for anything from silky scarves (see below) to ottoman covers. Even with the bolder designs however, the fairisle floats are short, some as short as 2 stitches. No colour changing is needed to gain the effect.

The pattern for the silky scarves below can be found in the Accessories Collection
