This thorough yet playful reference work for machine knitters by Beleke den Hartog and Elsbeth van Heyningen leads knitters to an in-depth understanding of knitting construction.
A tutorial and visual book of few words and abundant images that can be understood by everyone, it is an easy-to-follow guide for personal and innovative knit design that picks up where, once the basics of machine knitting are mastered, follow up questions arise. The book uses different methods of calculating and designing, including graphs, formulas, and technical drawings, all enhanced by fun sketches depicting the authors in lively discussion creating the book. The calculations in the book are not according to arithmetic principles or software solutions, but are based on the use of a knitting machine and knitting technology. The book transmits the authors’ distinct love for the craft of machine knitting and their profound knowledge of knitting techniques. Offering insight for digital application, this book is a preliminary sketch with many opportunities to elaborate on it. There is no single way to achieve the result. Solutions are a personal choice.

About the Author
In 1985, Beleke den Hartog and her business-trained mother founded the first Dutch School of Machine Knitting, Studio den Hartog in The Hague. In 1988, they invested in apparel and pattern knitting software, guiding machine knitting into the digital era. Between 2008-2011, she taught machine knitting at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam (Netherlands).
Elsbeth van Heyningen, graduate of the Rietveld Academy of Art, taught textile techniques to amateurs and professionals at the Centre of Art-Education MK24 in Amsterdam. In 1992, Elsbeth applied for the position of textile and fashion instructor at the workshop of the Royal Academy of Art in the Hague. In 1998, Beleke joined her. Together they developed the textile dye Royal Colour Lab and laser engraving and sublimation.
