Free basic knitting machine patterns, patterns for all kind of knittingmachines

There are so many options for machine knitting, this is why I have created two basic garments,
a women's sweater with round crew neck and a women's cardigan with V-neck.

For those who don't know how my patterns are working, and they are working fine for many knitters,
all over the world; I use reverse engineering. What do I mean?

In most patterns, you read, check your gauge, and change your needle size to obtain the right gauge.
This means you have to force yourself to another needle size, (just when you liked your swatch)
to be able to knit that particular pattern.
Well, gauge is a personal choice and varies from knitter to knitter.

I reverse the method;
knit your tension swatch first, with your own beautiful yarn,
(from your stash, I know you have it, somewhere) LOL
in your own needle size and your own personal taste.

I do not know your taste and you cannot buy Dutch knitting yarns, to knit my patterns.
Do you get the trick??  After you have determined your gauge, you can pick one of my basic patterns.

All my basic knitting patterns are suitable for machine knitting too, as long as your gauge is the same.

Each gauge comes in five sizes; size 40 to 48. In addition, there are seven different gauges, (tensions).
This means I had to create 420 patterns, just to fill this page. ( $^#!)

I think you can knit a lot of sweaters and cardigans on your knitting machine, with these basic patterns.
If you can not find the right gauge, go to my other basic knitting patterns,
they can be knitted on the machine too.
Enjoy and please keep sending me digital photos of your finished work.

US yarn weights: Fingering 28-36 sts Sport 24-28 sts Worsted 18-22 sts Bulky 14-16 sts			Standard UK yarn weights: Usual HK Gauge (/4") 4-ply 28 sts, 36 rows [best on the Elite] DK 22 sts, 28 rows [older patterns/yarns 24 sts] Aran 18 sts, 25 rows Chunky 14 sts, 20 rows
So UK 4ply is between fingering and sport, DK is between sport and worsted. If a pattern calls for DK or Aran, there seems to be quite a lot of the real thing around in the US/Canada, but if you can't find any (or don't like what you can find), look for a heavier sport or a lighter worsted for DK, or a heavier worsted (WoolEase is close) for Aran. The MK gauges won't be exactly the same, as the size gaps between KPs are larger than between sizes of HK needles, and the stitch/row ratio will often be different too.
