The garment size will be incor- rect if counted wrong, Let the swatch set until settled completely before counting for best results. %* Waste Knitting* It is desirable to knit approximately 8 to 10 rows of odd waste yarn (or scrap yarn) as the first row is always loose and easily dam- ‘aged. Knit one row with ravel cord only be: ‘ore’ beginning main yarn for garment. This will enable you to knit ribbing after bodice 's completed by picking up stitches of main yarn interlooped with ravel cord or make a finished hem at the beginning of garment. The waste yarn is removed by pulling the ravel cord from the garment. It is also con- venient to remove the work from the ma: chine by knitting 8-10 rows of waste knit: ting. To remove the garment from the machine, set the carriage as in stockinet, remove the yarn from the yarn feeder, then move the carriage across. The garment is removed from the machine very easily and neatly.% How to read the punched card * * The twenty punched cards (each represent ing 2 different pattern) that come with the kitting machine have a serial number begin- 20and alphabetical 198 A, B,C and D respectively, Example: No. 10=A * When using @ punched card, insert into the 1 indication: marking rings A, B, C, D) point of the right side, re guide lines for rectly in the ma: | Aceeeten ~ || D auecig | % How to use the marking A, B, | C, D on the card | ‘A basic pattern, By chang- 'on, the pattern also changes | on as shown in the diagrams | a _| Lu { = ‘ivection [erection 6 -* Installing the Card Guide * Insert the card guide vertically as illustrated into the receiving hole in center of the case behind the pattern panel U7 ard guide Pattern pane!

By using a fine transparent nylon thread and wool ar synthetic yams, together, beautiful face garments which have never been designed can be created, * Thread the nylon thread and the yarn to be Used together respectively through the auto tension. As the nylon thread is vary easy to get tangled, put the stop net (sold individ- ually) over the spool and put it in the stand at the bottom of the accessory box as illus rated, In the beginning, rest the nylon thraad at the yarn clip and thread the yarn feeder with the yarn to be used. * The tension dial is to be adjusted according to the thickness of the yarn to be used with nylon thread.

A porson who uses this machine for the first time will be able to knit an elaborate pattern easily % Correct improper knitting in the following manner. 1) If the carriage has jammed while knitting. If the needles are advanced to C or D position leaving the loops behind the latches, push them back to B position using a transfer tool. Refer to the chapter of “Partial Knitting’ (Page 70), (1) Loosen the arm nuts and make sure to raise the carriage arm strongly upward before pull- ing it towards. you. Unless strongly pulled out, the carriage arm can not be pulled out because the yarn feeder is caught by hooks of the needles, (2) By lifting the handle backwerd the center part of the carriage will be raised, Advance the carriage holding it in that position. Re place the arm,(23 How to repair incorrect knitting. ae wags <1 In stockinet. * Attach weights at intervals on the garment so it will hang firmly. Holding the garment downward with the left hand, pull the yarn paralleled with the machine far a tight row, ‘then pull in an upward and backward mo: tion to open the latches. Repeat this cra: cedure for each row unraveled.

(The carriage: will pass without knitting.) (4) Reset the stop knob to the ¥ mark and the controlling parts on the carriage and contin: vue knitting.

If the carriage is pulled off the rail in the middle of pattern knitting, the pattern will be dislocated. To cortect this mistake, renew the memory to the memory bank referring to the previous chapter The Relation between the punched card and the touch levers. If the stop knob is set to the @ mark, the pattern on the punched card is shown by the ‘ouch levers. This pattern will be knit when the carriage is moved across, If you want to see the pattern of the last ‘ow, rewind the punched card by one mem ory number and set the stop knob to the © mark, The pattern on the row will be shown by the touch levers, Note:* If the stop knoby is set to the @ mark, the feeding dial will not operate. ration o Perforated area of punch- | Unperforated area of punched card Qwaraton of rover ] Eee trbuch tomer i | tioock Teer lower Nose goo tes} Needle comes out back : Tucked Tuck knitting Knit {Nor-knitting, yarn is over the hook) “| Slipped Slip stitch Konit (Non-knitting, yarn crosses in _ front) Fair Isle Knit with yarn from ya Knit with yam from yarn (Knit-in) _ feeder 2 feeder 1 Wearing Weaving yarn is threaded Weovien yarn is threaded Punch lace knitting | Knit nylon threed Rote yon threadand yam Lace knitting Knit Pulled up(4) The Relation Between the Pattern Marks on the Needle Bed and Patterns.

D Correcting a dropped stitch. (1) Insert 9 one eye transfer too! into the stiteh bbelow the dropped stitch, and replace the stitch into the hook of the needle together with the laase yarn, Slowly ull the needle out until the stitch is behind the open latch leaving the loose yarn in the hook 2) Push the needie back so the latch will close and the stitch behind will slide over the hook reforming a stitch, 3) Note: *If a stitch has dropped for o few rows, you may repair it in the same manner.<2> Correcting a dropped stitch for several rows. (1) Insert the tappet into the stitch a fow rows belaw the dropped stitch from the side away from you, Unravel the stitches down 10 the toppet. Note:* With the other hand, .pull the garment downward near the drapped stitch. This saparates the yarn acrossing and makes the operation easier. (2) Push the tappet toward you so the stitch will bbe behind the open latch, Catch the yarn crossing above in the hook. {3} By pulling the tagpet backward, the latch \will clase and the loose yarn will be traced in the hook. Continue pulling and the old stitch will slide down over the closed tatch forming a new stitch in the hook, Repeat this operation to the top. 44) Pull the last loop rather tight and remove the tappet, Insert the tappet into the stitch from your side and put it onto the needle,Het ga =Ko: E For knitting symbols in the diagram refer to the knitting symbals on page. This pattern is worked by transferring the stitches using a transfer tool, Set the stop knob and the carriage as in stockinet knitting, (1) Knit two rows in stockinet.
