I am a member of a Complex Weavers study group called The Sixteens. This year's topic was Diversified Plain Weave. The
14 pattern blocks afforded by Diversified Plain Weave (DPW) on 16 shafts
created the opportunity to render a favorite knitting machine pattern in woven
cloth. Many of the old knitting machines
used 12-hole or 24-hole punch cards for pattern input. A 24-stitch symmetrical knitting machine
pattern can be adapted easily to a 13-block point profile. A 13-block profile draft was derived from
American Indian designs adapted to knitting by Regine Faust, (Regine Studio, 1980, 225 pages, ASIN: B0007C3PGW); pattern on
page 108. I converted the profile draft to 14 blocks. Below is a partial threading draft.
