Reduce with Allowed Stepping

Reduce

With the border processing 'Reduce', the color field selvedges of a color field are adapted (=reduced) through the knitting technique according to the carriage direction.
This means that the color field selvedges will no longer correspond visually to the original drawing due to the modification.
Attention: in case of round color field selvedges the result is not nice.

Examples for Reduce with allowed stepping

 

Reducing with allowed stepping of 1 needle

1

Allowed stepping of 1 needle (default)

: The color field to be reduced is reduced by 1 needle less.

2

Reducing the color field according to the carriage direction.

: Tuck is the binding at the color field selvedge.

 

Result:

In the rows where the reduction takes place, two stitch rows less will be knitted in the red color field.

: At straight color field selvedges, there results an unattractive step through the 'allowed stepping' of one needle.

The result at round color fields is not nice either, as the shape of the original color field is changed due to the adaptation (Reduce).
