Knitting Pattern File Format Specification

For the words see the glossary.

Design Decisions

Concerns:

• We can never implement everything that is possible with knitting. We must therefore allow instructions to be arbitrary.
• We can not use a grid as a basis. This does not reflect if you split the work and make i.e. two big legs
• Knitting can be done on the right and on the wrong side. The same result can be achived when knitting in both directions.

Assumptions

• we start from bottom right

• default instruction (see)

  {
    "type" : "knit",
  }
  {
    "type" : "ktog tbl", # identifier
    "count" : 2
  }
  

• default connection

  {
    "start" : 0,
  }
  

• "id" can point to an object.
