Superba - White Knitting Machine Garter Transfer Carriage #02

A sample of a "Garter Rib" fabric worked on my Superba Double Bed Knitting Machine. This is a White 1502 for those wishing to know the particular model. I use the name Superba as these double bed knitting machines, sold under brand names Superba ~ White ~ Singer ~ Phildar were all produced by SIT/Groupe Superba in France.

 

This piece is the Collar for a Jacket. It will be sewn to the neck and centre front edges. It is knit in a Worsted Weight Classic Elite Alpaca. Woked on stitch size 10, it consists of 4 rows of stocking stitch on the Back Bed alternating with 4 rows of stocking stitch on the Front Bed. This results in a true knit and purl combination fabric. Very easy on a Superba!
