Filet lace curtain panel
This is the final result knitted on Brother KH940.
To achieve this I used a simple picture without many details.
The lace pattern in the background has 6 passes with the lace carriage and 4 with the knitting carriage. So in order to not distort the picture I stretched it by a factor of 1.5 in Photoshop. Any picture editing software works. Then opened up in Graphic Studio of DAK and transformed to a stitch pattern.
I then drew in the white areas the stitch pattern of the background. First I drew a small stitch pattern for the lace background, then inverted it because it seems I can draw only on the white non selected needle area. But as later for the finished pattern the animals need to be white, non selected, I again had to invert the whole pattern. Maybe there is an easier way, but this worked well.
