Only so wide .....

Whether you are knitting a blanket or a plus size garment, you probably have discovered the fact that our knitting machines have a limited number of needles to work with. This means we can only knit pieces that are a limited size.

Unlike hand knitting, we can't use a longer cable needle and add more stitches. We have to get creative to knit larger pieces on the machine.

Options for machine knitters:

• Use a stitch pattern (like tuck) that knits at uses fewer stitches per inch.
• Knit in panels
• Use a ribber and Half-Circular | U-Knitting (stockinette or hand-manipulation only)
