Dalraida Cowl & Class

$0.00

SKU: kCD_MBTemple_DalraidaCowl Categories: , ,

The Dalraida Cowl is currently free, providing a great way to explore knitCompanion and kCDesigns. It is is a terrific introduction to stranded knitting – there are four different stitch patterns in three different stitch count repeats and by the time you are finished you will be a pro at reading color charts and managing up to three colors of yarn in one round.

As is true for all kCDesigns, the Dalraida Cowl is both a kCDesign and a PDF so you can explore the differences. Tap Add To Cart above and checkout for free to have access to Dalraida Cowl as both a PDF and kCDesign.  You can also follow along with Mary Beth Temple’s FREE class, Making Colorwork Easy with knitCompanion.

If you haven’t already, download knitCompanion from the App Store. It is free to download and you can use the free basics with any pattern. You can also use any kCDesign with the free app which includes access to Magic Markers, custom settings, and more.

 

Use knitCompanion with any pattern, or skip the setup with our kCDesigns. kCDesign is a new pattern format that offers more than a PDF. Using a kCDesign lets you pick your pattern options such as size, motif, etc. and knitCompanion will create a customized project just for you.

  • knitCompanion is designed from the ground up to work with ANY PATTERN. This means you can knit what you love, no matter how the pattern has been published. You can use the same Setup tools for all your PDFs that our team uses to create kCDesigns (requires a subscription).
  • We have also created a new format called kCDesign. The kCDesign is preconfigured by our team. Their work makes the pattern fully interactive on your device: sizes are selected, instructions are set with a one-tap marker, reminders added, and more. Plus when you use a kCDesign you have access to all the edit tools like Magic Markers and the ability to customize your project settings without a subscription.
  • Below is a side by side comparison. Both of these examples show the START of a project. With a subscription, you have all the same tools our team uses to create a kCDesign. This means you can start with ANY PDF and fully customize it to have all the same capabilities as our kCDesigns.
  • In Mary Beth Temple’s Play with Colorwork Class, she starts with the PDF. The first 4 minutes of her class covers the setup steps for the chart. You can use the PDF to follow along from the beginning. If you are using the kCDesign you can skip ahead to minute 4.
