# knitout-interpreter

A comprehensive Python library for interpreting and executing knitout files used to control automatic V-Bed knitting machines. This library provides full support for the Knitout specification created by McCann et al., enabling programmatic knitting pattern analysis, validation, and execution simulation.

## 🧶 Overview

The knitout-interpreter bridges the gap between high-level knitting pattern descriptions and machine-level execution. It provides tools for:

- Parsing knitout files into structured Python objects

- Validating knitting instructions against common errors

- Simulating execution on virtual knitting machines

- Analyzing patterns for timing, width requirements, and complexity

- Reorganizing instructions for optimal machine execution
