Tuck is a great way
to add texture and interest to your knitting.
When knitting tuck, certain needles do not knit and the working yarn travels OVER the needles out of work.
Very often Tuck stitch is used as a wrong-side facing stitch pattern. The texture of the tucks combined with the purl side of the knitting is very pleasing. But often the knit side can be even more appealing.
Once you understand how tuck stitch is created on your machine, the sky's the limit!
- The general rule: no 2 tuck stitches next to each other
- Tuck limitations: - 3-4 adjacent tuck rows are best (depending on your yarn) - the stitches "build up" on the needles, so less is best
- In DesignaKnit use the Tuck symbols:
- Let DAK apply any tuck rules for an accurate stitch pattern
- Send the correct information to the machine to create tuck stitch
