In accordance with the iustration, slide the connecting plate, which has been provided, undemeath the edges of the back bed, so that the pegs fit into their respective holes. Using two of the four larger dark-coloufed screws, screws the plate to the anes edge (A) With the other two of the larger dark-coloured serews, and as shown in the: iMustration, screw the support to the outer edge and to the connecting plate. flush with the foot of the mast (B).How to fil the driver to the back lock lock of the DUOMATIC 80 double bed, DUOMATIC or DUOMATIC $ (Use the smaller of the two drivers supplied with the accessories. The larger is only for use with the Electra.) Remove the back lock from the bed, and place it upside down on the table. with the arrow keys at right front Loosen the left pusher retaining cam (A). Keep the two screws and washers. Screw on the driver in accordance with the illustration. For the DUOMATIC 80, use the small silvery screws. For the DUOMATIC, use the small dark-coloured screws. For the DUOMATIC 5 use the long. slim, black scréws. In place of the pusher retaining cam (A), which the DUOMATIC § hasn't got, use the two wing nuts which must be held in place while the screws are screwed in. Note: In this position, the bent-away part of the driver will be on the left, facing downwards 4How to fit the pattern leader to the support Insert the two scrows of the pattern leader into the two holes of the support, and screw on the knurled nuts.Pattern leader 1 Driving roll 2 Stitch scale holder 3 Locking lever for the driving roll 4 Row scale Advances the pattern sheet Holds the stitch scale that corresponds to the measurements of the test square Lever at left: the pattern sheet can be inserted. Lever at right: the transport lever will advance the patie sheet Can be set for three different ranges of row numbers5 Row selector is used for senting the row number corre sponding to the test square. 6 Locking lever for row The row selector can only be moved, selector if this lever is pulled forerard at the same time 7 Driving knob 1s used for moving the driving roll by hamel 8 Driving lever Itadvances the driving roll automatically. To put the pattern leader out of action, move the driving lever to the right as far as it will go. How to unravel knitted rows If, occasionally, you have to undo some knitted rows, you will of course have to remember to turn back the pattern sheet. To do this, turn the driving knab anti- clockwise, The marking of the driving knob has three ranges, ie. A, B,C. The black marking at the top of the row scale indicates what range applies to find the correct distance that the driving knob must be wumed back for each unravelled row,The test square Itis absolutely essential that you knit a test square first, before you start working with your pattern leader, as only this will enable you to select the proper stitch and row scale Always knit the test squi in the yarn, tho stitch pattern, the stitch size, and with the yarn tension that you are going to use for your garment. If you are going to work several different stitch patterns into the same garment, you will have to knit a separate test square for each pattern. And if you are going to press your garment, you also have to press your test square before measuring it iis advisable to knit the test square the day before measuring it, to make allowance for slight changes To use the pattern leader you need the following inform: How many stitches to 10cm? How many rows to 10cm? To determine this, you best cut a square hole measuring 10% 10cm oul of a piece of cardboard, and place it in the centre of a sufficiently lange test square. Your results will be much more accurate, if you knit a test square of 100 stitches and 100 rows, as explained in the instruction book for your Use the PASSAP charts in your instruction book as follows: Say. 100 stitches measure 36cm. Now, look for the figure 36 in the top horizontal row. With your finger follow the vertical column right underneath, until you are level with the figure 10 in the edge column. There you find the figure 28, In other words, this means that 28 stitches are equivalent to 10cm. Follow the same procedure to find out how many rows equal 10cm 8with 32 different graduations are included with every pattem leader. Two of the stitch scales have a special graduation with the zero at the centre. They are used for knitting small asymmetrical parts {soe page 13). The figure on the left- hand side of the graduation indicates how many stitches equal 10cm, —Find the stitch scale corresponding to your test square, — Tilt the holder for the stitch scale forward. —Slip the stitch scale behind the two clips so that only the graduation you need remains visible. —Take care that the stitch scale lies quite flat. Note: To choose the correct stitch scale. count only the stitches knitted on the front bed. The stitches on the back bed have to be increased or decreased correspondinglyThe row scale —To find the appropriate of row number move the row scale up of down. In the windows by the row scale there will now appear the row numbers for which the range is appropriate — Set the row selector to the desired row number, at the same time pulling the locking lever forward. Note: The small window at the top left of the rowr scale indicates whether the distance between two white lines of the row scale corresponds to two, one or halla knitted row Note: To set the row selector, always refer to the number of rows indicated by the rew counter, even when knitting tubular or fairisteHow to insert the pattern sheet h the locking lover for the driving roll to the loft. the stitch scale holder forward. — Insert the pattern sheet from behind the roll in the direction of the arrow, and push it until it reappears at the front. —Pull at the pattern sheet when it appears at the front, until the first row of the pattern is exactly level with th; ch scale. Tilt the stitch scale holder back. Note: Take care that the stitch scale is absolutely parallel with the first row of squares, and the left-hand edge of the squares corresponds with the zera ‘on the stitch scale (except for the special scales with the zero al the contre) —Push the locking lever to the right.How to knit Each line on the stitch scale corresponds with a stitch. Therelare, you can always read off exactly how many stitches to cast on and knit Observe the pattern sheet, which is being moved on after every knitted row. Every time the outline of the pattern cuts a black line on the stitch scale, you will have to either increase or decrease stitches. From the stitch scale you will also sce how many stitches have to be increased or decreased. The pattern sheet The patterns on the pattern sheets are drawn in only hall the actual size. That is. one square on the pattern sheet corresponds fo one cenlimetre of the actual size There are various ways of drawing 3 pattem Symmetrical patterns For symmetrical patterns, only one hall of the pattern is drawn. The last vertical line on the left corresponds to the centre line of the knitting, as well as to the centre of the needle bed. Therefore, you will have to knit with the same number of needles, and increase or decrease exactly the same number of stitches on either side of the centre of the bed Use the normal stitch scales beginning with the zero on the left-hand side.Asymmotrical pattems Asymmetrical patter above. The right and the teft halt ot in the type of fine, o.g. the right t line, and the left half a broken line The working procedure is the same as given above However, for the left half use the number of stitches indicated by the broken line, and for the right half those indicated by the continuous line, Normally, these pattenns are only partially asymmetrical, a3 for example a raglan sleave. Small asymmetrical patterns For small asymmetrical pieces of knitting that will no be more than [Link] wide, the whole piece may be ‘traced on the pattern sheet, For this, use the special scales with the zero in the centre.The sizes of the patterns on the pattern sheets Ladies’ sizes Raterence Siee font His oP 6 84cm Bem 38 sien 82cm j 40, 90cm 95cm oI 2 Bem Sem a 4a ‘96cm 101 cm A o Bem [Link] 107 cm ~ Gt a 12cm 107 crn, HOem wr 0 1OBem Vi3em Bem 1 “sz igen 12cm idem Reterence ‘sue Ah 15 years Bh V7 years ch small sire cm on (sire 4a) Oh meetin 104m sine oF {size 48) 4 13 yours hh 15 yours 168Tips on how to adapt the patterns io your own size Very often your measurements will not correspond: exactly with these of the pattern. Therefore, you will wish to adapt the pattern to your own measurements. When altering tho bust, waist, or hip measure- ments, it must be remembered that the pattern represents only one quarter of the overall width (as tor example hall a front part), So, if e.g. the bust measurements should be 4cm more than indicated on the pattern, while the waist measurements remain the same, then only }cm = I square should be added to the pattern at bust level Mark this point with a coloured pencil, and then join it up with the waist. Follow this new line when knitting, Adjustments in the length of the garmont Here, the total fength has to be drawn in; that is, always for the front as well as for the back part I, for example, a sweater should be 4cim longer that on the pattern, draw in two horizontal lines 4cm = 4 squares apart. Now, knit to the upper line A, then turn the pattern back to the lower line B, and knit to the end
