Are You Confused? | How To Knit Half Scale on Knitleader 116

I originally purchased the Brother Knit leader 116 for my Brother 965i knitting machine.  Everything was fine until I purchased my Studio 155 knitting machine.  Why?  Because my Brother knit leader was for full scale patterns and my Studio knit radar was for half scale patterns. I did not want to redraft full-scale patterns to half-scale and vise versa.  Little did I know until much later that I did not have to duplicate them. What I had to do was to change the pin placement on the Brother knit leader to knit half-scaled patterns.  Confusing, I know.

Here’s how:

When the pin is in normal position the chart rolls up on every row.  When the pin is placed on the right it rolls up every second row.

Gauge:

1. If knitting your swatch on a standard gauge machine use 40 stitches and 60 rows.
2. If on a chunky gauge machine use 30 stitches and 30 rows.

Which ruler to use to measure swatch:

Use a cm ruler to measure your swatch.  Do not use the green or blue ruler.  The color rulers are used to measure a swatch when not using the knit leader/knit radar.

Next, follow your manual on how to setup the knitleader/knit radar.  Happy knitting!
