Using Standard Garment Styling with the LK150 is exactly the same as using it with any other machine - electronic or not.

• You’ll create shapes for your Sweater
• Enter your gauge
• Generate instructions customized for your project.

In this module, we’ll walk through how to create your garment shape, set up your printouts, and (optionally) follow along with Interactive Knitting if you have a cable. Either way, you’re fully in control.

Standard Garment Styling guides you through a series of simple steps to set up your custom pattern. Depending on the choices you make, you'll see different options along the way – each one helps shape your finished garment. It might seem like a lot at first, but each step builds on the last.

By the time you’re done, you'll have a pattern tailored to your yarn, your gauge, and your LK150 – ready to knit.
