PREPARATION OF YARNS

This machine is applicable to the range of yarns, from cotton thread to medium size yarn. But for practice, it is best to use light yarn (see page 9).

Correct preparation of yarns before you start knitting is very important. This extra care will make knitting more enjoyable, easier, and the quality of your garment much better.

It is not possible to knit from a hank of yarn or hand wound ball, as for machine knitting it is essential for the yarn to feed into the machine freely. Place the hank onto your arms or a Skein Holder and wind into a ball using the Yarn Ball Winder.

The Skein Holder and Yarn Ball Winder are useful optional accessories.

When yarn is rewound, ensure that the yarn end comes out freely without lifting the ball from the table.

We recommend you wax the yarn during winding by simply letting the yarn run over an ordinary white candle or knitting wax.

THREADING AUTO TENSION WITH TWO COLOUR YARNS A, B

For practice, prepare TWO NEW BALLS OR CONES of different colour light 3-ply yarns A, B and thread them as follows:—

MAIN YARN A

Thread the left side of Auto Tension as follows:—

1. through left Tension Guide eyelet,
2. between two Tension Discs "A" and under the copper colour Guide Pin "B",
3. through left yarn guide eyelet,
4. through left Tension Spring eyelet,
5. through left yarn guide eyelet.

Pull the yarn end and hook it in the upper Yarn Clip "C".

SECOND YARN B

Thread the second yarn into the right side of Auto Tension in the same manner as you threaded the main yarn into the left side of the Auto Tension.

Hook the yarn end in the lower Yarn Clip.

ADJUSTING TENSION DIAL

Adjust the Tension Dial according to the type and thickness of the yarn by setting the selected number to correspond with notch "B".

In this instance, 3 is suitable.

Cotton or nylon thread ..... 6-7

Thin yarn (2-ply)....4-5

Medium yarn (4-ply). 3

Incorrect threading of the Auto Tension will never assure success in knitting. Before going further, ensure that:

1. correct tension is given to yarn,
2. yarn comes out freely from yarn ball.
   It is advisable to pull out a certain length of yarn of the ball before starting to knit.

NOTE: NEEDLE POSITIONS C AND D ARE NOT TO BE USED WHEN KNITTING WITH THE LACE CARRIAGE.

ALIGNING NEEDLES

Ensure all needles are in the "J" A non-knitting position. If some needles are not, using the straight edge of the Needle Pusher push the needles to "A" non-knitting position.

Slide the Carriage across the Needle Bed a few times to ensure it moves smoothly.

If the Carriage does not slide smoothly, ensure that the Arm Nut fits correctly into the cut-out of the Arm.

LEARNING ABOUT STITCH SIZE AND YARN

STITCH DIAL

Ensure that the correct Stitch Dial number is always selected for the yarn you will select.

Stitch Dial regulates the size of a stitch. When the Stitch Dial is set to 0, the tightest stitch size is obtained. (smallest stitch)

When the Stitch Dial is set to 10, the loosest stitch size is obtained. (largest stitch)

To select a number, turn the Stitch Dial until the required number or dot corresponds to ▲.

If the tension is too tight — it will be difficult or even impossible to knit, you will use more yarn and waste money — your garment will be hard and uncomfortable to wear.

If the tension is too loose — your garment will have no shape or will very soon lose its shape.

For practice, continue to knit with different Stitch Dial numbers as follows:—

1. with the Stitch Dial number 3, knit 10 rows - tightest stitch size is obtained.
2. with the Stitch Dial number 9, knit 10 rows – loosest stitch size is obtained.

Type of yarn	Stitch Dial
1 Super fine yarn	1 - 2
2 Extra fine yarn	2 - 4
3 Fine yarn	3 - 5
4 Medium fine yarn	5 - 7
5 Medium yarn	7 - 9
6 Cotton yarn (fine)	4 - 5
7 Cotton yarn (normal)	5 - 7
8 Synthetic yarn (fine)	3 - 4
9 Synthetic yarn (normal)	4 - 5

PATTERN CARD PANEL FUNCTION

STOP KNOB

When the Stop Knob "A" is set to ●, the Punch Card is locked and not advanced by the Punch Card Feeding Dial "C" and by the Carriage.

When the Stop Knob "A" is set to ▼, the Punch Card is free and advanced by the Punch Card Feeding Dial "C" and by the Carriage.

L KNOB

When the L Knob "B" is set to S, the Punch Card is advanced every row as the Carriage moves and standard pattern is knitted.

When the L Knob is set to L, the Punch Card is advanced every second row as the Carriage moves, thus producing vertically expanded pattern.

L KNOB INDICATOR

Colours in the L Knob Indicator "D" alternate.

Blue.....the current row is repeated on the next row.

Red.....the Punch Card advances to the next row and a new pattern row is knitted.

HINTS

This L Knob function is mostly used with FAIR ISLE but can be used for other stitch types, if the Punch Card is suitable, such as WEAVING, SLIP STITCH PATTERN, TUCK STITCH PATTERN and PUNCH LACE.

To eliminate separation of contrast yarn and the ground yarn at the edge of the single motif pattern, follow the procedure below on each row.

(1) Knit the first row of the single motif.
(2) Make ready two pieces of yarn of 50–60cm. long, cut from the ground yarn.
Place the yarn in the hook of the needles immediately outside the last needle holding the contrast yarn, on both edge of the single motif.
It is advised to hook a clip on the short end of the yarn.
(3) Knit the next row, and place the yarn in the hook of the needle immediately outside the single motif, to the side with the Carriage, as done in step (2).
(4) Knit the next row, and hook the yarn on the needle outside the contrast yarn, to the side with the Carriage.
(5) Repeat the above steps alternately on each row, on the side with the Carriage.

DOT MARKS ON THE PUNCH CARD

On the punch cards for single motif patterns (No.F-14, 15, 17, 20), dot marks are given alongside the feeding holes.

For the rows with the dot mark, remove the contrast yarn from the Yarn Feeder (2), and knit in the same Carriage settings.

If you knit with more than two yarns, we recommend hand feeding (see page 42) or the purchase of an additional Auto Tension with Yarn Rod.

While working single motif if tension on the second yarn becomes loose, slip the second yarn out of the Yarn Feeder ②, knit to the motif point, slip the second yarn back into the Yarn Feeder ② and complete knitting the motif and the row.

LEARNING SINGLE MOTIF VARIATIONS

2 sets of left and right Point Cams M (red) are included with your Knitter.

You can enjoy a wide variety of single motif knittings by use of these Point Cams M, some are shown below.

LEARNING ABOUT STITCH SIZE AND YARN

STITCH DIAL

Ensure that the correct Stitch Dial number is always selected for the yarn you will select.

Stitch Dial regulates the size of a stitch.

When the Stitch Dial is set to 0, the tightest stitch size is obtained. (smallest stitch)

When the Stitch Dial is set to 8, the loosest stitch size is obtained. (largest stitch)

To select a number, turn the Stitch Dial until the required number or dot corresponds to ▲.

If the tension is too tight — it will be difficult or even impossible to knit, you will use more yarn and waste money — your garment will be hard and uncomfortable to wear.

If the tension is too loose — your garment will have no shape or will very soon lose its shape.

For practice, continue to knit with different Stitch Dial numbers as follows:—

1. with the Stitch Dial number 3, knit 10 rows - small stitch size is obtained.

2. with the Stitch Dial number 8, knit 10 rows - large stitch size is obtained.

① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑦ ⑧ ⑨

Type of yarn	Stitch Dial (lace knitting)
1 Super fine yarn	(3) - 4
2 Extra fine yarn	(4) - 5
3 Fine yarn	(4) - 5
4 Medium fine yarn	(5) - 6
5 Medium yarn	not applicable
6 Cotton yarn (fine)	5 - 6
7 Cotton yarn (normal)	(5) - 6
8 Synthetic yarn (fine)	(4) - 5
9 Synthetic yarn (normal)	(4) - 5

NOTE FOR LACE KNITTING DO NOT ADJUST THE STITCH DIAL TO THE NUMBERS IN PARENTHESISES WHEN THE PUNCH CARDS NO.FL-6 AND FL-7 WHICH PRODUCE MESHLIKE PATTERNS ARE IN USE. DO NOT USE KNOBBLY YARN OR THICK MOHAIR YARN.

FOR MAIN CARRIAGE

Ensure that the yarn from the Yarn Feeder extends from underneath of the Plastic Round Brush Cover in the Arm to the needles in D position.

If the yarn is PLACED ON THE ROUND BRUSH, it will entangle with the Brush.

FOR LACE CARRIAGE

Ensure that the Stitch Dial is set to 6 or higher number for the first row. This setting makes large loops between sinker posts and needle hooks, and thus you are able to pull out the Ravel Cord easily. Strain the Ravel Cord laid across big loops before you move the Carriage.

Ensure that the Ravel Cord has been pulled out after knitting 6–7 rows.

If stitches are dropped or knitted incorrectly...

This can be caused by:

1. Yarn with knots or incorrectly wound.
2. Moving the Carriage too far past the end needle.
3. Tension Dial needs adjusting.
4. Damaged needle.

Reform dropped stitches using the Transfer Tool (see page 70) or unravel the row incorrectly knitted. (see pages 66, 67)

To continue knitting, ensure that:

1. the Carriage has passed the last knitting needle by approximately 2–3cm. before knitting the next row.
2. you move the Carriage at an even speed.
3. yarn is in good condition (see page 66).

Diagram illustrating five steps of fabric textile sewing, showing thread application and stitching techniques.

To reform stitch

Reforming stitch is required when the stitches have dropped while knitting.

A DROPPED STITCH

(1) Insert the One-Eye Transfer Tool into a stitch below the dropped stitch and replace it into needle hook together with loose yarn.
(2) Slowly pull the needle out until the stitch is behind the open latch leaving the loose yarn in the hook.
(3) Push the needle back so the latch will close and the stitch behind will slide over the hook reforming a stitch.

STITCHES DROPPED IN SEVERAL ROWS

(1) Insert the Tappet Tool into a stitch a few rows below the dropped stitch from the side away from you. Unravel the stitches down to the Tool.

With the other hand, pull the knitting downwards. This makes unravelling easier.

(2) Push the Tool toward you so the stitch will be behind the open latch. Catch the yarn crossing above into the hook.
(3) By pulling the Tool backwards, the latch will close and the loose yarn will be trapped in the hook.

(4) Continue pulling and the old stitch will slide down over the closed latch forming a new stitch in the hook.

(5) Repeat this operation up to the top.

If one or more stitches have dropped or when pattern knitting using the Punch Card, we recommend you to unravel than to reform stitches. (see page 66, 67)
