Machine Knitting Pattern: Designer Knitwear: Grace Top

by Marianne Henio

The award winning designer and author of this designer knitwear pattern booklet, Marianne Henio, has been machine knitting for over 30 years now, ever since she resigned from her career to have a family. She has designed and sold many individually made bespoke pieces during this time. Marianne is passionate about being able to visualise a design, create the pattern and then produce the finished piece of knitwear. This has kept her in the industry for all these years and now she is sharing her knowledge in this field with you.
This pattern is for the Grace Top.
Marianne uses a standard gauge knitting machine for this design. The yarns used for her patterns are specified in the pattern booklets, but gauge guides and schematic diagrams and measurements are given so that alternative yarns and machines can be used depending on your choice and source.
If you look at the cat walks and see what is being produced by top designers in the genre of knitwear today, you can’t help but be inspired. The art of machine knitwear design today has certainly come a long way since the 1980s images which always appeared rather dull and dated. Marianne recently won Fashion Designer 2016 Award at the All Womens Achievers Awards Ceremony for her latest catwalk designs. She nows contributes monthly to the Machine Knitting Monthly magazine.
Marianne creates designs which suit all ages. They are sophisticated in style, but very simple to knit for the beginner in machine knitting. Her instructions are easy to follow and concise and she has included video instructions of some of her techniques for you too. Her Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Christmas Collection machine knitting pattern books are already available and have proved to be very popular. Check out YouTube for Marianne's videos.
