- | * Prepare your graphic as a two-color bitmap and note the pixel dimensions. | ||
- | * Remember that stitches in knitting are not square, so you may want to squish your graphic horizontally just a bit before lowering its resolution. | ||
- | * You're going to then create a blank "container" pattern of the appropriate dimensions using the knitting machine control panel. | ||
- | * Press INPUT (01_press_INPUT.jpg) | ||
- | * Note the pattern number that appears. User-input patterns get assigned a number in ascending order starting at 901. (02_note_pattern_number.jpg) | ||
