Go to Project Library. Under the tab New, you will see a Project Card for your recently purchased KnitFit™ Custom Pattern.
Click on the three-dots menu at the bottom right of the Project Card and click on Create Project.
The next screen will show the KnitFit™ Pattern Generator.
You will need to fill out the forms on this screen in order to generate your pattern. But before continuing on to fill out the form and generate your pattern, you will need to stop and knit a gauge swatch.
Gauge swatch recommendations
- The gauge swatch must be knit using the yarn and needles you will use for the sweater.
- Review designer’s recommendations under Yarn and Tools in the Pattern Generator as a starting point for needle size and yarn weight.
- With KnitFit™ Custom Patterns, since patterns are created based on your gauge, you can use a different yarn weight and needle size than shown in designer’s recommendations. In this case, look at the pattern listing in Shop (visit via the desktop app) to see information on different yarn weights that work for the design.
- Review the pattern listing in Shop to see if the designer has specific instructions for the gauge swatch; for example, if it should be knit in a certain stitch pattern other than stockinette.
- Block your swatch as you will block your finished object.
- Larger swatches are more accurate, so we recommend a 40 stitch/40 row swatch, and measuring your gauge in the middle of the swatch.
4. Generate your pattern
Once you are happy with your gauge, return to Create pattern and follow the instructions on the form to add your Yarn and Tools, select your Measurement profile, and input your Gauge, as well as any design-specific measurements such as ease or sleeve length.
Design-specific measurements are measurements referring to the finished garment measurements, needed by the Pattern Generator for this specific pattern.
