Knitting flatbed machines

I’ve really been enjoying exploring Ribblr, but as a flatbed machine knitter, it’s been a bit of a struggle to find patterns that work for my machine. Most of the content seems geared toward hand knitting or crochet, and I’d love to see more support for machine knitters—especially those of us using flatbed models!

It would be amazing if Ribblr could expand its platform to include more machine knitting patterns, maybe even allow for tagging by machine type or difficulty level. I know there’s a whole community of machine knitters out there who would love to connect, share tips, and create together.

Personally, I’d also love to make more friends in this space. If you’re a fellow machine knitter, feel free to reach out—let’s build this part of the community together!

I’m not sure how detailed or what kinds of patterns you’re looking for but if you search up graphs there are a bunch of flat tapestry patterns.

Personally I’m looking for outfits patterns, but I also want to have a group of friends that I could bounce ideas.

I really want to get into flatbed knitting machine. I only circular knitting machines.

Maybe you can size up the grids to make sweaters?

Flatbed machines are very fun. I know that some have figured out how to adjust patterns to the machines, but I have yet to find a post or a video that’s shows how to do it.
