Pocketing-Pattern.md

+A pocketing pattern is a technique to make a double sided hole, in which items can be knitted inside the fabric. Items (sensors, cushioning, tubing etc) are inserted during a programmed machine stop. After this, the machine closes the double sided open tube on the top side, to form a closed-off pocket
+
+**Patterns**
+The pocket uses a interlocking pattern to for the outside sides of the pocket (that are single walled fabric). The yarn alternates each stitch on either back and forth needle bed
+
+The closed double sided, hollow pocket itself is formed by alternating a whole course (horizontal line); one course on the front bed is alternated with one whole course on the back needle bed. This way a hollow, vertical tube is formed. Closed off at the beginning and end, it form a closed off, hollow pocket

+Pattern Drawing
+-use either an existing interlock pattern
+-or, start with a standard pattern and fill the field with a interlock pattern

+Interlocking pattern
+
+- draw a colored shape for the pocket. Here an square pocket is drawn![Pocketing_006](uploads/0d82772ee2aa7d560ce17add3aeee764/Pocketing_006.png) colored square pocket
+
+- draw a few front/back stitches in two consecutive courses, inside the colored pocket

+- additionally, adjust loop size/RS value if nessesarry 
+
+- lastly, program a machine stop 3 courses before the end of the pocket. See: [Insert a stop command in program](https://gitlab.tudelft.nl/jjfvandam/stoll-knitting-machine/-/wikis/Insert-a-stop-command-in-program)
