What is DesignaKnit?

DesignaKnit (DAK) is a software program that allows you to create knitting patterns. It's a powerful tool for both hand and machine knitters. It helps you design garments, create stitch patterns, and provides instructions for your knitting projects. The software is very popular with machine knitters, especially those who use electronic machines. But you don't need an electronic machine to get value from DAK.
  • Windows XP or later (32-bit or 64-bit operating system), except Windows 10S and Windows 11 Home in ‘S Mode’, which can run only applications downloaded from the Windows Store (which doesn’t offer DesignaKnit).
  • Screen size at least 800 x 600 pixels for the DesignaKnit program and at least 720p (1280 x 720 pixels) for on-line video tutorials. We recommend using 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) if possible.
  • 600 Mbytes free hard drive space.
  • The optional cable links plug into a computer’s type A USB 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 socket. (This does not apply to the HandKnit product level).
