Construction Through Shape: Partial Knitting: Three-Dimensional Effects

Partial knitting techniques can be used to create three-dimensional textures, surfaces, and silhouettes in knitting. The holding technique involves selectively holding certain needles in place while allowing others to continue knitting, resulting in diagonal blocks of color, flared skirt panels, or slanted shoulder shapes. This technique is combined with different weights of yarn to produce interesting edges and effects. The holding controls on the knitting machine are used to manually place needles in holding position individually or in groups, so that the carriage can pass over without knitting those stitches, resuming when released.

3 Holding technique used in
combination with different weights
of yarn. Design by Juliana Sissons. The holding cam controls are set on hold. Needles on the opposite
side of the bed from the carriage are manually put into holding
position. Groups of needles can be put in to holding position all at
once, or needles can be held one at a time. This technique allows
the carriage to pass over these needles without knitting the stitches
in; however, when these needles are put back into working position
the stitches will resume knitting as normal. Other needles that are
not in holding position will continue to knit rows, accumulating
length. It is important to keep your weights under the working
needles and move them up the fabric as it grows.
