PARTIAL KNITTING OF RIBBING

Partial knitting is used for shaping of garment, making darts, shaping of a heel, vertical and horizontal buttonholes, neck opening, pockets, etc.

There are two cases, that is, one is decreasing of knitting part, the other is increasing of knitting part.

This general explanation begins from one row before partial knitting of ribbing, from left to right.

a. Operate the carriage (K)

(The knitting needles make stitches and the yarn hangs on the purl needles)

b. Operate the carriage (R) from left to right with the cam knobs, left cam knob up, and right one down.

(The purl needles make stitches and come down to position "B")

c. Set the carriage (K) to "part ← →"

d. Raise the knitting needles which you want to knit to position "E", and the purl needles which you want to knit to position "C".

e Move the carriage (K)

(The knitting needles in position "E" only make the stitches and come down to position "B". The yarn will hang only on the purl needles in position "C")

f. Move the carriage (R)

(The purl needles in position "C" only make the stitches and come down to position "B")

g. Raise the knitting needles to position "E" as same as step (d).

h. To avoid a hole in the knitting, before knitting on the return course hang the yarn which is lying on the gate of the ribber in the hook of the first unraised needle nearest those not being knitted in step (e).

i. Move the carriage (K) and knit needles in the position "E".

j. Move the carriage (R) and knit needles in position "C".

One row of partial knitting of rib is finishd. Repeat from step (d) to step (j). But in step (d) and (g), number of needles which are raised has to be increased or decreased.

IMPORTANT ADVICE

* Casting on combs and weights
Hang these on the garment so that good balance is obtained.
* Dropped stitch
To pick up dropped stitches, first, take off the weights and slide down the ribber one step, then pick up the dropped stitch with hook.
* Knitting with different number of knitting and purl needles.
Always be sure number of needles of the knitter side is more than the purl side.
* When the garment does not come down as you knit row by row, check to see whether some loop hangs on the gate of needle bed, or not.
If a loop is found hanging on the gate, take it off with hook.
Otherwise, increase the number of weights.
* Move the racking lever carefully
Do not move the racking lever when needles are raised above the needle bed gates
* Move the carriage (K) carefully
When you move the carriage (K) the force on the handle must be in downward direction
Otherwise, carriage (K) will rise up and cause dropped stitches.
" Check the needle arrangement before you move the carriage.
When the half pitch lever is set in position 'P', do not knit with knitting needles and the purl needles on the same line because they will crash together and damage
* Move the carriage (R) carefully
Check to see that the yarn lies in the hook of the purl needle before moving carriage (R)
