Is this a valid stitch pattern?
Yes ... and NO

• If you use small motifs or specific stitch combinations often, store them in one stitch pattern and use copy and paste to create new designs


• Hand knitting symbols are informational only and will not download or impact selecting and deselecting needles


• You probably wouldn't knit with this design. Each of the stitch techniques knits at a different gauge. For example tuck is wider and shorter than stockinette.
  Although DesignaKnit allows you to create a stitch pattern like this, you need to think like a machine knitter and combine stitch techniques that are compatible.

There is disagreement among knitters about the term Jacquard.

Most machine knitters use this term interchangeably with Double Bed Jacquard (DBJ). The Double Bed Jacquard method employs both the main bed and the ribber while knitting multiple colors on the main bed.

DesignaKnit doesn't know if you have ribber needles in work or not. DesignaKnit is only concerned with selecting and de-selecting needles: Creating accurate punchcard templates and downloading accurate information to your electronic machine.

DAK creates the knitting instructions. You set up your machine for the desired knitting technique

In Stitch Designer, a Fairisle stitch pattern represents selected and de-selected needles. Assigning the long and short needles controls the select state.

This is what a punchcard would look like for the above fairisle pattern (the same information would be sent to an electronic machine)

Of course, you can change colors between rows, but you will only be knitting 2 colors per row.

The same stitch pattern as a 2 color jacquard looks like this:

• Rows #1 and 2 Knit only the white squares with CC1. 
  The black squares will slip
• Rows #3 and 4 knit only the white squares with CC2.
  The black squares will slip
• Rows #5 and #6 knit only the white squares with CC1.
  The black squares will slip

DesignaKnit "separates" the hole/no-hole instructions to accommodate the slip stitch technique

If knit with 2 colors, this stitch pattern would look like this
