Garter Carriages

Only Brother (also under Knitking and Defendi model names) manufactured Garter carriages.

Garter carriages can knit alternating and on one side knit and purl stitches.

When you are looking at your knitted fabric as it sits on your machine: the purl stitches that face you are knitted by the needles on the needlebed, while the knit-stitches are knitted by the garter carriage needle.

Each garter carriage can be converted to a two-color garter carriage with a special add-on/replacement. I am a proud owner of one. Search on FaceBook a group called Garter Carriages and it will have info how to purchase one.

I am compiling a series of blog articles and videos on garter carriages, which are applicable to the following garter carriages below.
