I thought it was finally time to have a single post on this one accessory for the flatbed knitting machine
My standard 4.5 mm SK 700 Has the knit radar 7 built in
By chunky SK155 9 millimetre Has the knit radar seven as a separate accessory that sits upon the main machine with pegs.
I thought I’d make this post to remind myself going forward in the future: the differences in similarities and what to look for in terms of the accessories that go with each, depending on the gauge of the machine used
Standard 4.5 mm machine uses green stitch/row rulers
Chunky 9mm machine uses blue stitch/row rulers
How to Identify and Read the Rulers
Check the Corner Markings: Each gauge ruler in your set has an identifying number or color code stamped on the corner or end. [1, 2]
Dual-Sided Sides (R and S):
Standard vs. Bulky Distinction:
Standard-gauge rulers usually feature the same scale number on both sides (numbered 1–20).
Bulky-gauge rulers advance by different single-number increments on each side (numbered 1–24).
Color-coded generic rulers (such as green for standard, yellow for mid-gauge, and blue for bulky) indicate different overall machine pitch scales.
