The Goal

Graphics Studio can be used in many ways. Depending on your image and how you are going to use it there are many considerations.

Converting Other Stitch Types

Graphics Studio can be used for more than just photos and double bed jacquard.

Remember we are taking an image and converting it to stitches and rows. As we import the newly "translated" data into Stitch Designer, we tell it what technique we are going to use.

Stitch Designer will then "translate" the design even further, for example creating separations for jacquard.

Intarsia

For intarsia designs, follow the conversion logic in Graphics Studio to convert your design.

Enter the gauge you'll be knitting
Determine the size of the image based on your garment
Convert the image to the number of colors you'll be knitting
In Stitch Designer choose "intarsia" as the knitting method
Use Interactive knitting to follow the color changes

Garter Carriage

Enter the gauge you'll be knitting
Determine the size of the image based on your garment
Convert the image to 2 colors you'll be knitting
In Stitch Designer choose "right/wrong side facing" as the knitting method
Use Combine to assign the correct stitch symbols

Fairisle

If there are more than 2 colors per row in the converted stitch pattern DAK will warn you.
Use the "Check the pattern for errors" Check for Errors Tool and make changes in Stitch Designer as needed. Sometimes just a few stitches convert causing this error. You can edit them in Stitch Designer.

This warning may also alert you to the fact that this converted stitch pattern isn't appropriate for fairisle.
