Archive of Thread: How to make DIY Pattern Paper for Charting Device Back

2 years ago
Looking for directions to create pattern paper for my Studio 327 knitting with built in Knit Contour. Purchased used, pattern paper not included.

I've seen Knit Contour/Knit Radar patterns for sale on eBay. That might be a good way to start.

On You Tube, there are videos on creating your own patterns and they discuss different types of paper and how to draw a pattern to half scale or quarter scale on the paper. Most of them bought paper from a craft store, which sells pattern drafting paper for dressmakers. It's thicker than the tissue paper used to make cloth fabric patterns.

You can take an existing sweater you like and write down the exact dimensions to recreate the shape as a template to give it a try.

As long as you've done a proper gauge swatch and use the correct ruler on the Knit Radar, works wonderfully well.

Hope this helps 😊
