Plus Size Sweaters with DesignaKnit

Don't be limited by the width of your needlebed. Learn to use DesignaKnit to draft garments that are wider than your machine can knit in a single piece.

Knit sweaters in ANY size on ANY machine

Explore two approaches — knitting sideways and knitting in panels — and let DAK do the math so you can craft a comfortable, fashionable sweater that fits.
