What is Knitter FOR LINUX?

Knitter FOR LINUX

Knitter is a program designed for creating and visualizing three-dimensional models of knitting patterns. It utilizes GTK+ for its graphical user interface and has undergone testing on Linux, Windows, and OSX.

Key Features:

• Produces detailed three-dimensional models of knitting patterns


• Allows for rotation and zooming of the model using the mouse


• Displays stitches as red spheres and yarn connections as red lines


• Supports the KnitML standard for exchanging knitting patterns

Technical Specifications:

• Platform: Linux, Windows, OSX


• GUI: GTK+


• Price: FREE


• Developer: Dane Wagner


• Support for basic functionality with plans for more complex features

Native Language and Pattern Representation:

The program utilizes a language closer to traditional knitting patterns for input. For example, a 10x10 swatch pattern is represented as:

# Simple 10x10 swatch
sk co 9 turn # make a loop, cast on 9, turn fabric
{ k 10 turn } 9

Additional notes on pattern representation:

• Uses braces instead of asterisks for nesting repeated blocks


• Stitches need fixing in space to prevent falling due to gravity

# Simple 10x10 swatch, fixed in space
sk fix(-4,0,0) co 9 fix(4,0,0) turn
{ k 10 turn } 9

Simulation behavior:

• First slipknot and last stitch anchored in space for fabric generation
