Riccar RK601 knitting machine is a standard-gauge knitting machine with 200 needles and a turn-knob-controlled needle selection mechanism to knit patterns.

Riccar RK-601 knitting machine was released onto the market in 1966-1967.

Except for the color, this machine is identical to the Silver SK303 knitting machine, which was also meant for the Japanese market only (Judging by the Japanese writing on the carriage and the pattern control center).

Its other sister for the Western markets is Studio SK-303. Thus, similar to SK303 models, Riccar can be accessorized with SR303 ribber (not sure about the Riccar equivalent of that ribber) and AC1/YC1 color changer.

Thus, read the corresponding detailed posts while enjoying the pictures of this machine below.
