Selecting squares

Copy, paste, flip, repeat, and add or delete rows and stitches.

Turn on Select (beside the palette) and drag across squares, or hold Shift and use the arrow keys. A bar of tools appears:

Copy, Cut, Paste

Paste puts the copied squares with their bottom-left at the selection’s bottom-left. Ctrl+C, X and V work too.

Clear

Back to knit squares in colour A (or press Delete).

Flip across

Mirror left to right; decreases and cables lean the other way.

Flip up

Turn upside down.

Repeat across / up

Repeat the squares across the whole row, or up the whole chart.

Make a panel

Work the stitches as a chart of their own. See Repeats and panels.

Make the repeat

Outline the stitches in red as the pattern repeat.

Row above / below

Add a row of knit stitches.

Stitch left / right

Add a column of knit stitches.

Delete rows / stitches

Take out the selected rows or stitches.

Press Escape when you are done. Picking a stitch or colour goes back to painting.
