From the moment you open the program, Design-a-Knit offers user-friendly selections to get you started on your creative journey. The Standard Garment Styling feature allows you to create and modify complete garments effortlessly.

Standard Garment Styling serves as an excellent introductory point to familiarize yourself with the screen layouts and concepts of DesignaKnit.
But that's not all! DesignaKnit goes beyond standard pattern drafting by allowing complete freedom in designing shapes and garment pieces. You can start from scratch on a blank workspace or import shapes from various sources and work on them until you achieve your desired result. You can even apply stitch patterns from Stitch Designer or utilize garment shapes from Standard Garment Styling. Once your masterpiece is complete, you have various printing options for your pattern pieces and knitting instructions. Additionally, if your computer is connected to a knitting machine via cable link, you can knit interactively while following the instructions on the screen.
The Stitch Designer feature is a true gem for creating unique stitch patterns.

DesignaKnit provides an extensive selection of stitch patterns, allowing you to unleash your creativity and craft truly individual designs.
For a seamless knitting experience, the Interactive Knitting feature provides row-by-row, stitch-by-stitch instructions.

But that's not all! DesignaKnit also includes a Graphics Studio that allows you to convert various graphics into stitch patterns. Whether it's line drawings, photographs, scanned charted designs, or any other supported graphic file format, you can effortlessly transform them into stunning stitch patterns.
