Since I live in Silicon Valley, why not design with Binary Stitches©. What are Binary Stitches©? Knit and purl stitches defined as bit or bytes offer a multitude of ‘new’ knitting stitches, which I refer to as Binary Stitches©.
Each week on my blog I’ll introduce a new pattern swatch. So, here is the first example of many more yet to be discovered.
The above-pictured swatch has not been blocked because I did not want to flatten the texture of the surface.
Binary Stitch Pattern #1©
The swatch is knit with a smooth worsted-weight yarn using US Size 7 needles. Knit the stitch pattern at least three times through to fully enjoy the stitch pattern.
18 st pattern repeat
CO 36 sts
Row 1: K2, P3, K3, P2, K3, P3, P2
All even rows: Knit the stitches as they present themselves.
Row 3: K1, P1, K2, P1, K2, P1, K2, P1, K2, K1, K2, P1, K1
Row 5: P1, K7, P2, K7, P1
Row 7: P2, K1, P1, K2, P6, K2, P1, K1, P2
Row 9: K2, P4, K1, P1, K2, P1, K1, P4, K2
Row 10: End with this row.

Yes, but I’m collaborating with my husband on this concept, who wrote a patent on binary encoding. I don’t use a computer to come up with the stitch patterns.

What an interesting idea! I wish I understood the binary code concept better, to really appreciate this. Does the code/pattern used mean something the can be translated into words?
