sTITCH lIBRARY FOR USE WITH INTWINED STUDIO

Intwined Pattern Studio is a powerful knitting program designed to help the knitter who wishes to create his/her own patterns. It is relatively easy to use. The difficulty is in creating your own stitches. The developers of Intwined Pattern Studio suggest that the knitter use Inkscape, a free drawing program that creates .svg files. I found creating my own stitches to be a challenge, but once I created a half dozen, it became easier.

I prefer Barbara G. Walker's symbols, as illustrated in her Charted Knitting Designs—A Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns. IMHO, these are standard and make visualizing the pattern easier. So, I charted these symbols in Intwined for anyone to use freely. Download each set and import them into Intwined’s Stitch Library.

How to read the charts: Each cable is only 1 row—the middle row. Consider the bottom row to be Row 1; the middle (cable) row, Row 2; and the top row, Row 3. By adding the borders to Rows 1 and 2, the stitch becomes easier to visualize as it will look knitted.
