How to Machine Knit a Tuck stitch on LK150 (hand-manipulated) Here is a basic how-to of the Tuck stitch knitting on the LK150 knitting machine. If you have a different machine, the same principle applies. Just find out the button or dial that does not knit "D" position back to "B" position. Check your instruction manual for the right dial/button. For LK150, there is no punch card or computer-aided patterning, so I just select needle by hand. For punch card machine or computerized machine, you can design your pattern or select pre-made pattern for Tuck stitches. Playlist from
