knitting_parser

A library designed to assist with parsing knitting patterns.

There seems to be no real standard for the syntax of a knitting pattern, so we are going to do our best at describing our own.

Syntax

• All stitch names are lower case
• A comma , separates stitches
• Stitches can be grouped in parenthesis ( and )
• Multipliers can be provided after a group or stitch: k x12 for twelve knits in a row
• Groups can be embedded: (k, (p, ml)x2)x2 to produce k, p, ml, p, ml, k, p, ml, p, ml
• Line starting with ## are for options
  • in_round : used to say the pattern is in the round.
  • start_wrong_side : used to say the pattern starts on the wrong side.
  • first_line=X : used to say the first line is X
• Lines starting with # are ignored
