PatternAI for Knitting units
PatternAI for knitting units — a design to a real knit program.
A knitting unit runs flat or circular machines that need a stitch-by-stitch program (jacquard, intarsia, structure), not a picture. PatternAI composes the knit design and writes a knit program for the machine, so the pattern is built into the knitting.
How PatternAI helps a knitting unit
The design is composed from a real grammar and held to the house’s look, then digitised into the native machine file — a stitch path, a jacquard card, a knit program, a graded cut marker — and verified against its real format before it ships. No redraw on the way to the floor.

Frequently asked questions

- Yes — both are composed and written into the program.
- Does it account for stretch?
- Yes — scale is set for a stretch fabric so patterns hold on the body.
